Raadish Seeds Lab
During the Toxicity of Morton Salt on Radish Seeds experiment, we measured the levels of iodized Morton Salt to the growth rate of radish seeds. Each six packets had ten radish seeds with different level of iodized salt solution. The packet with no iodized salt solution grew the longest in a period of days, compared to the other packets that had iodized salt. Solutions 100% and 10% had no growth progress within the past five days. As for solutions 1%, .1%, and .01% grew, yet not as much nor fast as the packet with 0% of iodized salt. Before these results, we predicted that as the concentration of Morton’s plain salt increases in the solution used to keep the radish seeds moist, germination will yield shorter plant roots and shoots. Reviewing our results, the more iodized salt added to the radish seeds the longer it took for the seeds to grow. Based on our data our hypothesis is supported, as the more salt added germinating the seeds slowed the plants ability to grow. …show more content…
This can affect the experiment due to the size of the teaspoon and the amount of solution that was added to the radish seeds. Another error within measurement would be the different way of measuring each radish seed. I admit that, after measuring so many seeds, I got confused with the measurement of growth and the actual measurement of the seed itself. This could affect the result in the accuracy of growth rate within each salt solution. As well as making sure that the control group is controlled throughout the experiment. This could affect the result within the conclusion of deciding if the hypothesis is supported or

    5. Salt kills the plants because the cells of plants contain water and many other dissolved substances. Since the water has a lower concentration, water molecules try to move the inside and outside the cell wall to equalize the concentration of dissolved substances in the cell, which is called osmosis. Water molecules will be sucked out of the cell by a high concentration of salt, and resultingly it causes the plants to dehydrate due to an osmosis.…

    Miracle Gro Lab Report

    We experienced a number of errors in our experiment. Sources of error were human interaction, inaccurate measurements, and incorrectly handling the seeds and materials. In the future, these problems can be avoided by interfering with the plastic bags that contained the seeds, adding the most accurate amount of solute as possible, or making sure that we don’t crush the seeds or the towel that was inserted in the bag. Ideas for future experimentation would be to plant the seeds outside so that the sun would be used as the…

    In this lab experiment, we compared the amount of germinated Raphanus sativus’ in normal and frigid temperatures. My group and I predicted that more seeds in the normal temperature atmosphere would germinate, rather than the seeds in the frigid condition. The experiment starts with two petri dishes, and we filled each dish with fifty radish seeds. We made our first observations about the seeds that we see. We labeled one petri dish “Control,” and the other was labeled “Experimental.” The experimental petri dish was put in the freezer for seven days, and the control petri dish was set on the counter in the normal-temp classroom for seven days as well. After those seven days, the experimental dish was removed from the freezer, and we used a graduated…

    Effects of Ammonia and Vinegar on Radish Plants

    Plants are one of the most complex organisms; how they grow is very complex and it is important to see how they grow to even how they die. We first had to propose a question and test it to see if it was profound enough to test. Our group decided to see how different chemical substances affect radish plants, and which substance will kill the plant fastest. We planted 8 germinated radish seeds, then put ammonia in 2 of the plants, vinegar in 2 other plants, put both vinegar and ammonia in 2 other plants, and had the last 2 plants as our controls. We observed the plants in a period of 6 weeks, each week we added 1mL of each chemical to each of the plants and 30mL of water each week. We then recorded the data to help finalize a conclusion to our experiment. At the end of the experiment, it was concluded that the chemical ammonia kills radish plants faster than vinegar or both vinegar and ammonia together.…

    This supported the null hypothesis that states presoaking seeds will have no effect on germination. However , the experiment gave no data on how moisture will affect germination. It also didnt give any definative answer as to if presoaking helps germination in any way. Errors in the way the experiment was designed may explain why the lab bared no results. All of the seeds were placed in inconsistent amount of light, which means that was another variable in the lab.…

    Radish Seeds

    We performed an experiment on wheat seeds to examine how the concentration of Miracle Grow affected the germination of the seeds. Vitamins provide extra nutrients to people like fertilizers do for seeds. If one exceeds the recommended dose of vitamins ones health is in danger and if one takes less than the recommended dose, the body will not receive any extra nutrients. The same is true for seeds, more than the recommended amount will kill the seeds and less than the recommended amount will have no effect. Therefore, we hypothesized that if wheat seeds are given the recommended amount of Miracle Grow then the highest percentage of seed germination will be obtained, compared to seeds with a higher or lower concentration of Miracle Grow or water.…

    Hello this is my paper

    Some scientists believe that germinating radish seeds give off a chemical that interferes with the germination of other seeds. A few years ago, a group of scientists published a scientific paper that demonstrated that germinating radish seeds have an allelopathic effect upon lettuce seeds. A year later, another group of botanists repeated the experiment. The second group claimed that the radish seedlings had no allelopathic effect upon lettuce seed germination or growth. Now it is your turn to determine if radish seedlings do have an allelopathic effect upon lettuce seeds.…

    Salt and Grass Growth

    This scientific paper will answer questions on the effects of salt on grass growth. In the winter, many people place a salt compound on their driveways to melt snow and ice that has accumulated. The following spring, it is noticed that the edges of the driveway does not have any grass growing and grass a little further from the driveway is growing slower than the rest of the lawn. It will be determined if grass growth is negatively impacted in the spring after a winter of salt compound applications.…

    Allelopathy Affects Germination of Radish Seeds

    Allelopathy Affects Germination of Radish Seeds

    This experiment is designed to test the allelopathy of two different treatments, Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) and Lemon (Citrus limon). The two treatments will be tested on radish seeds (Raphanus sativus) to investigate the effect of the treatments on the germination of the radish seeds. Allelopathy is the beneficial or harmful effects that one plant has on another plant by the release of chemicals. Allelopathy studies the interactions among plants, fungi, algae and bacteria with the organisms living in a certain ecosystem, interactions that are mediated by the secondary metabolites produced and exuded into the environment (Francisco A Macías, José MG Molinillo, Rosa M Varela, Juan CG Galindo 2007). The plants use allelotoxins, which are an allelochemical produced by one plant that is toxic to another plant, to help them compete for space. Often these chemicals inhibit seed germination and root growth of young neighboring plants with less effect on mature plants (Shimabukuro and Haberman 2006).…

    The Effect of Substrate Concentration on the Rate of Reaction

    I generally followed most of my plan for the experiments, but to improve accuracy and reliability, I made one change. In my plan, I said that I was going to use 20cm³ of starch for each experiment. However, in my actual experiment I used 40cm³ of starch. This is because I thought I might not have had enough solution if I only used 20cm³ of starch. If this was the case, then I would have to stop the experiment half way through, which would have prevented me from obtaining accurate results. So for this reason, my results would be more accurate and reliable.…
