- Scenario: I planted a monggo seed and put red cellophane over one, and blue cellophane on the other in order to observe the plant growth. Question: a. How does the red color affect the seedlings of plants in terms of growth? b. How does the blue color affects the seedlings of plant in terms of growth?arrow_forwardJack and Jill are curious about the factors that affect plant growth. They perform several experiments using pea plants. (a) Identify one variable (other than water and sunlight) that could be tested. (b) Write a hypothesis using this variable. (c) Design an experiment to test this variable.arrow_forwardNext, the researcher wanted to determine if the timing of the flash of ight, whether It was early or late into the dark perlod, had an affect on the flowering plants. The researcher exposed Xanthlum strumarlum plants to a cycle of 12 hours light/12 hours dark and exposed the plants to a 10 minute burst of light at different times within the dark perlod. She recorded the percent of flowering plants post exposure. The data is in the chart below. 6. What conclusions can you draw from this data? (You do not need to show a graph, but it may help with your answer.) * % of plants flowering Time of burst of light (from the beginning of dark period) 100 86 35 41 10 78 12 95 21 4- 8.arrow_forward
- What plant process involved in your experiment aside from transpiration?arrow_forwardEXPERIMENT 4: INDUCTION OF CALLUS SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS OF HAPLOID PLANTS Objective: To prepare anther as a source of explant To induce callus somatic embryogenesis of haploid plants Procedure: Cut off the buds and sort them into 3 developmental stages based on length of buds Surface sterilize the buds in 70% ethanol for 2-3 minutes, making sure the entire bud is immersed in the alcohol. Drain off excess alcohol from the buds and aseptically excise the anthers from each bud. Remove the filaments and culture the anther on one of the agar media provided. Label the stage of development of the bud on each petri dish as the anthers are cultured. Seal the Petri dishes with parafilm. Incubate in the dark at 26 to 28ºC for 4 to 8 weeks or until small plants can be seen growing out of the anthers. Then transfer to diffuse light. Record the results of the experiment in table form and submit the report. Observation: The culture was contaminated after 8 weeks of incubation…arrow_forwardWhat difficulties would there be if the respirometer experiment was conducted using a live green leaf instead of germinating beans?arrow_forward
- They started to read books, surf the internet and study researches on the effect of music to plant growth, Members from the group continued to formulate their respective hypotheses. They went on performing a simple experiment. The group selected two San Francisco plants of similar size planted on the sanme type of soil and kind of pots. Both plants were healthy. Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants. Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each plant's growth. Multiple Choice: Write the letter of your answer before the number. What was the problem in the Grade 7-Rizal's experiment? Which San Francisco plant is taller? What kind of music should be given to plants? 1. a. How long can plants grow? d.

Read the paragraph carefully, then answer the questions. Dr. Anderson set up an experiment in which she planted bean seeds in two groups, A and B. After the sceds germinated, Group A was fed a balanced application of fertilizer with additional nitrogen, as recommended by most plant growers. Group B was grown under identical conditions, except the fertilizer they received contained no additional nitrogen. Dr. Anderson observed the plants for one month. You can see the results in Figure 1. Group A Group B Figure 1 1) What was the hypothesis for this experiment? (Use IF... THEN .. statement) 2) Which plants represent the control group? Explain your answer. 3) Which plants represent the experimental group? Why is this group of plants the experimental group? 5) What were the independent variable(s)? 6) What were the dependent variable(s)? 7) List all…arrow_forwardWhat will be the observation of an experiment conducted to know the effect of sunlight on the germination of soybeans?arrow_forward
- Design and describe an experiment using celery stalks to demonstrate how certain conditions will cause a loss or gain of turgor pressure. In order to follow the scientific method, your description should start with an observation and be followed by: a testable hypothesis, an outline of the experiment that will test the hypothesis, a description of the type of data that will be collected, and a possible conclusion that could likely be made after completing the experiment and analyzing the data.arrow_forwardwhat is the response variable and explanatory variable for wrapping a banana in plastic wrap and leaving the other bananas alone to see which one rots faster in experimental study design?arrow_forwardThe researcher presented her findings to her colleagues. They noted that this experiment falled to provide evidence to support the length of daylight as the critical perlod responsible for the plant knowing when to flower. What If it was length of night, or the absence of light, that was critical for the flowering of the plant? With this information, she revised her experiment by exposing the plants to a flash of light during the periods of darkness, and a flash of darkness during periods of light. 4.
