ONION PRODUCTION IN A GREENHOUSE GREENHOUSE TECHNOLOGY Greenhouse is a structure that allows controls of certain environmental parameters for purposes of providing optimum conditions for the growth of a targeted crop. The greenhouse production is a highly specialized and intensive form of agriculture as Compared to field crop agriculture. The greenhouse production is more suited to vegetables‚ flowers; fruit a can also be used as a nursery for all vegetable crops‚ because of their short life-span

OBSERVING PLASMOLYSIS IN ONION CELLS (_ALLIUM CEPA_) I. INTRODUCTION Plasmolysis is the process in plant cells in which the cytoplasm is separated from the cell wall as a result of water loss through osmosis. Osmosis is a type of passive transport involving movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane. 1. RESEARCH QUESTION How does 15% NaCl solution affect the appearance of onion cells? 2. HYPOTHESIS If onion cells are submerged in solutions of NaCl of different concentrations

There are usually more solvents in the water inside the plant which means there is a high concentration. Because of this‚ the water flows into the root hair cells from the soil. Watering plants with a saline solution (salty water) changes the osmotic potential of the soil. This results to the water surrounding the root more saline than the cell sap within the plant. This causes reverse-osmosis where the nutrients are actually drawn out of the plant and into the soil. Because the plant will not be able

Osmosis in Red Onion Cells By: Youssef Gharib Brief Description of Osmosis in Red Onion cells: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell‚ the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly

a demonstration of this principle‚ a purple onion cell is going to be bathed in different concentrations of salt (NaCl) water. Problem: How do solutions of various salt concentrations influence osmosis in relation to an onion cell? Hypothesis What will happen to the onion cell if it is placed in salt water? What will happen to the onion cell if it is placed in distilled water? If ..the onion cell is placed in salt water then... the cell

function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those two are also viewed with the same microscope. Introduction

Having a lesser osmotic pressure in a fluid compared to another fluid‚ as in a ‘hypotonic solution’ – compare: hypertonic and isotonic • Hypertonic: ➢ Having a higher osmotic pressure in a fluid relative to another fluid. • Isotonic: ➢ Having the same (or equal) osmotic pressure and same water potential since the two solutions have an equal concentration of water molecules. MATERIALS: 1. Potato slices 2. Elodea leaf/ onion scales 3

the available energy per unit volume in terms of "osmotic pressure". It is customary to express this tendency toward solvent transport in pressure units relative to the pure solvent. If pure water were on both sides of the membrane‚ the osmotic pressure difference would be zero. But if normal human blood were on the right side of the membrane‚ the osmotic pressure would be about seven atmospheres! This illustrates how potent the influence of osmotic pressure is for membrane transport in living organisms

sucrose solution would cause “Incipient Plasmolysis”. Theory Plasmolysis is the result of a (in particular) plant cell which has lost vast amounts of water. When this happens‚ turgor pressure within the cell has decreased to the point where the cytoplasm of the cell membrane peels away from the cell wall. When this begins to happen it is called Incipient Plasmolysis and when the cytoplasm is almost completely gone it is call “full/complete” Plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is only possible if the cell is placed
