In the experiment, the aim was to see which type of white flower petals, would change colour the fastest. The white flowers that were used for the investigation were roses, daisies and lilies.
Through this experiment, it proved the hypothesis as inaccurate, as it was estimated that the rose would transition colour the fastest, however the daisy proved the estimation wrong as the colour change was already visible after 30 minutes, compared to the other flowers that progressed longer. The colour dyed water made the tips of the petals turn a bright green after setting it in the vase for 30 minutes. An hour later, the whole petal turned mint green and the tips of the petal were a vibrant green, compared to earlier. The rose’s petals became noticeable after 45 minutes, and turned into a pale green. Later the petals transformed into a mint green and the tips became a bright green. Furthermore, the lily took the longest to process, as it did not have any development after an hour, but only began changing after 2 hours. During the first hour, the flower’s

Therefore, led to working on the science assignment at the end of the week and needing to buy new equipment, replacing the bad flowers. Furthermore, originally the red food dye was decided to be used for the experiment but after gathering the equipments, red ran out and green was the only available colour left, thus green food dye was used for the colour changing flower
Investigating the Effect of Light Intensity on the Size of a Plantain Leaf Title: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the size of a plantain leaf. Hypothesis: I predict that the size of the plantain leaves would increase as the light intensity decreases. Therefore, plantain leaves found in the shade will have larger surface areas than leaves found in an open area. Theory: Sunlight is an essential factor need to complete the process of photosynthesis.
The red pigment and the green pigment will follow the alcohol higher on the coffee filter than the yellow pigment. There will only be chlorophyll left in the spinach leaf, the yellow leaf will contain chlorophyll and xanthophyll & the red leaf will contain chlorophyll, carotene, and xanthophyll. My hypothesis was supported.

The Effect of Wavelength on Photosynthesis Rate Aim: To be able to To investigate how different wavelengths (colors) of light affect the photosynthetic rate of the synthetic. I will use a pant that is a pond weed called elodea. I will measure the rate of photosynthesis by measuring the amount of o2 given off in bubbles per minute from the elodea. I will do this by placing the Elodea in a test tube with sodium hydrogen. carbonate then I will vary the light wavelength (color) using colored.
If a plant cell is places in a hypotonic solution the cell has a lower water concentration to that of the solution. Water will move into the cell by osmosis from a high water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell through a selectively permeable membrane. The cell becomes turbid
The cause of this change in mass is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water. through cells in plants. I make my prediction on the pretext that water diffuses from high concentration cells to low concentration. cells.
Two members of the group were instructed to visit the laboratory each day of the experiment to water and measure the plants (Handout 1). The measurements that were preformed were to be precise and accurate by the group by organizing a standardized way to measure the plants. The plants were measured from the level of the soil, which was flat throughout all the cups, to the tip of the apical meristems. The leaves were not considered. The watering of the plants took place nearly everyday, except for the times the lab was closed. Respective of cup label, the appropriate drop of solution was added to the plant, at the very tip of the apical meristems.
...hroughout the Eelgrass. Excess water in the form of vapor is disposed of through stomata on the leaves. The gas exchange, root, and shoot systems are used in this exchange because the stomata release the excess water in the form of water vapor, which was first absorbed by the roots in the root system, then transported through the xylem in the shoot system throughout the eelgrass. Another exchange that goes on in Eelgrass is nutrients to plant cells. Again the gas exchange, root, and shoot systems are used. Nutrients are absorbed by the roots and made through photosynthesis; stomata take in carbon dioxide which is used along with light, water, and other nutrients previously stored to make more. Nutrients are carried throughout the plant to plant cells by the phloem. Homeostasis is the balance of systems in organisms and it’s very important to keep them in balance.
= My hypothesis is to determine factors which might affect the stomatal opening in leaves. A practical experiment can easily be set up to determine these factors. The following procedure should be followed: Select a plant that has been kept in the light and label the container e.g. "LIGHT." Clip two leaves from this plant.
Plants also had to adapt on the surface in order to survive the climate change of moving onto land. The changes made to the surface of plants are most closely observed by their formation of a cuticular wax. This waxy cuticle is impermeable to water and acts as a method of controlling plant’s water intake. It can be made thinner or thicker depending on the plant’s needs and the environment at the time, changing in response to droughts or excessive amounts of rain.
How do plants resist being uprooted during typhoons? How do they absorb water? The answer lies on a particular plant structure, which is called the root. Basically, a monocot and a dicot root differ but also have common parts like the xylem and the phloem. Through examining the roots using the light microscope, the students would hopefully be able to understand how the root is designed to perform its vital functions. A root tip basically has 4 main regions, the root cap, the meristematic region, the region of cell elongation, and the region of cell differentiation. These parts are all essential for a root to function properly, thus further stressing its importance in t...
The tissue would gain in mass and length and will become turgid and sabotaging. If plant tissue has a higher water potential than
Photosynthesis is a process in which plants and other organisms convert the light energy from the sun or any other source into chemical energy that can be released to fuel an organism’s activities. During this reaction, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in leaf cells which contain chloroplasts and the reaction requires light energy from the sun, which is absorbed by a green substance called chlorophyll. The plants absorb the water through their roots from the earth and carbon dioxide through their leaves.
Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. A partially permeable membrane only allows small molecules to pass through, so the larger molecules remain in the solution they originated in. Solute molecule [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Water molecule [IMAGE] The water molecules move into the more concentrated solution. When water enters a plant cell it swells up. The water pushes against the cell wall and the cell eventually contains all that it can hold.
Leaves are broad and flat to provide a large surface area and to provide a short path for the light to travel. It also means that there is a short diffusion path for the exchange of gases. The vascular tissues found in leaves contain the xylem vessel, which transports the water required for photosynthesis. The phloem removes the products of photosynthesis.
