affect the germination of plants. As I know that sunflower seeds have a fairly short germination span, they will allow me to carry out this experiment more accurately as germination deviations will be clearly identifiable. For this reason my aim is to determine whether varying concentrations of alcohol and/or tobacco effect or prevent the germination of sunflower seeds. My research question is, “Does alcohol and/or tobacco negatively effect sunflower seed germination?” I hypothesise that both the alcohol
The Effect of Different pH Levels on the Growth of Sunflower Seeds Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see how germination is affected by differing pH levels in water. Background Information: In order to germinate and grow, seeds require oxygen, water, and the correct temperature. Once seedlings appear, they will also require light and carbon dioxide. The amount of water a plant receives is very crucial in their growth and survival. If a plant receives too much water, the roots will literally
The Sunflower Seed Mystery By: Kenneth Yan Lab Practical: 0015 TA: Eshan Naik Lab Partners: Adam Wallace, Colin Lam, Pamela Santos and Rajshree Ghosh Biswas Abstract For many years detectives and police officers had to rely on forensic science to identify how the victim die by using evidences like plant materials. So in this lab the purpose of this experiment is to identify how the victim died by using the evidence (seeds) that were given in this lab. In order to find the
analyzed the meaning behind his work. To create this piece Weiwei used porcelain, paint, and approximately 100 million sunflower seeds. This piece is displayed in a large neutral room and the ground is covered by these sunflower seeds. Every sunflower seed displayed in this installation was hand painted which shows the audience the time and detail the artist put into the work. The seeds are meant to represent the population of China since they are widely popular in this country. The porcelain was used
The Sunflower The Helianthus Annus is classified as follows: Common name- Sunflower, Garden flower, or common Sunflower Phylum: Tracheophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Asterales Family: Asteraceae Genus: Helianthus Species: Helianthus annuus The Sunflower is my favorite flower. One of my reasons for choosing the sunflower was its striking beauty, from its long fuzzy stem to its beautiful golden petals that resemble the rays of the sun. Another reason why I selected the sunflower is because of
disseminating his ideas and forcing people to examine their lives, however, its effect is reduced by the heavy censorship of the Chinese government. The positive effects of Ai Weiwei’s art can be seen by examining and analyzing both Remembering and Sunflower Seeds. However, their presence in Europe rather than China is rather discouraging. Censorship is more damaging than beneficial to activist artists like Ai Weiwei, however, it does not mean that activist art is useless. The reaction of authorities
Wicked Wildlife Wildlife is a very important role to Illinois; there are many different categories of wildlife. One of the categories is plant life found throughout Illinois. Some of the plants are dandelions, sunflowers, poison ivy, and goldenrod. Although plants in Illinois are beautiful, there are also many mammals, fish, and birds. These many plants and animals throughout Illinois make this state a very interesting and beautiful place to visit and study. Plants Dandelions There are many plants
running towards a specific destination. Two miles in, I stop at my destination to enjoy the view of Ted Grinter’s The first published record of a sunflower in Kansas was in 1820. Zoologist Thomas Say stated “The produce of these tracts of unmixed sand is the sunflower, often the dense and exclusive occupant.” Similarly, Grinter Farms contains sunflowers emerging as the sole vegetation, packed together to decorate the landscape. Grinter Farms is also important because it invites people to a taste of
If you have spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars trying out facial products only to still have problem skin, you may kick yourself after reading this. The truth is, most facial cleansers are extremely over-priced, they don’t work, or they contain agents that are not beneficial to the skin. Skin is the body’s largest organ. Skin provides a barrier to protect muscle, tissue, and internal organs. However, most people view skin as the body’s most important feature. Healthy skin is reminiscent
The sunflower, original only to the Americas, has become one of the most important plants throughout the world due to its adaptability, diversity, and sustainability. It is a key component in cooking, human health, soil detoxification, and has been use in medicine, art and poetry. The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant that has been long beloved as for its atheistic aspects and its value as a food crop. Sunflowers are native to North America and were used as a source of food by native
Obstacles are opportunities in disguise. If a person is starving with only one sunflower seed, he/she has a choice to either plant the sun flower seed or to eat it. His obstacle is only having one sunflower, but his opportunity is to plant it. Women and men from urban areas are faced with these decisions everyday of choosing starvation v. assurance, mind v. matter, now v. forever. They are hit with harsh reality in some of the most severe ways, that the bad options can outweigh the good. Alternatively
Ah! Sunflower In the late 1700s, William Blake published an illustrated collection of poems named Songs of Innocence and Experience. In 2016, a group of students in Penn State Altoona sat down to pore over his writings, each one finding a special poem to connect with. Although Blake bled his innocence and experience onto pages over four hundred years ago, the message, imagery, and personal significance translates beautifully still. A particular poem, ‘Ah, Sunflower,’ seemed to grow roots outside
The name of my project is gardening which is planting sunflower. I chose this project because my kindergarten’s outdoor environment space is limited. This project involved 5 years old children. The process of growing this sunflower took about two months. The project has met the objective well. The main objective of this project was experiencing the outdoor environment by the children. Children gain vast benefits from learning outdoors. Being outdoors allows them to move around without many of the
be given a small space in the garden to plant their own seeds. Jessie, Megan and Jay J each could choose one seed packet from the Pioneer Planters Seed & Garden Company catalogue to grow. Poring over the pages, the siblings tried to decide what to plant. The catalogue passed from Jay J to Megan, from Megan to Jessie and back to Jay J again until the pages were worn and creased. Jay J often fell asleep looking at parsnip, pea or pepper seeds. The rectangular garden ran parallel to the fruit trees
From stick figures in the sand and the earliest animals painted and carved in stone, individuals worldwide have responded to the world by using images. The ultimate goal line of art, especially in the past, was to transport meaning and express important ideas, enlightening what was significant to every civilization, by eye-catching images. In be familiar with the subject matter of any painting, you have to look at the artist's objectives, which are regularly connected to social conditions, national
INTRASPECIFIC COMPETION: THE RESPONSE OF THE SUNFLOWER (genus HELIANTHUS) TO INCREASING DENSITY. INTRODUCTION All species, including plants, are impacted by density. Plants, of course, cannot leave their habitat as animals can, so they tend to respond in different ways to density. As populations grow more dense, they compete for resources such as food and space and are more prone to disease. Less dense populations are more susceptible to predation pressure. It is hypothesized that as plants in
competition affects the growth of plants. A plant growing in a nutrient-abundant environment free from competition will exhibit maximum growth potential and seed production (Watkinson,1983). But as the plant density increases and available resources become more limited, the decision must be made between continued growth or producing viable seed. I hypothesize that as Helianthus plant proximity becomes tighter, plant size and stem length will be effected negatively. For now my null hypothesis will be
and possibly the only person who didn’t act like I was a disappointment. He just accepted what was there. The voice grew more... ... middle of paper ... ...es of the simple and beautiful boy I loved left his eyes. This, sitting in our favorite sunflower fields and thinking of him, was the funeral he would have wanted, so I smiled and told him: “I love you Cyrus.” “Ellie!” the once faint voice was now close enough that I could recognize it. “Cyrus, is that you?” I called back and after the rustling
Rosemary Hoyt Rosemary Hoyt is a perfect representative of the Hollywood Golden Girl. She is a young, beautiful movie star, who was born in the United States, but educated in France. She began her adventure with film in Paris, where she lived with her mother Mrs. Elsie Speers. The first mention of Rosemary is to be encountered in the beginning of the novel upon her arrival in the South of France: “However, one’s eye moved on quickly to her daughter, who had magic in her pink palms and her cheeks
INTRODUCTION Seed proteins can be broadly classified into two categories: housekeeping proteins and storage proteins. Seed storage proteins are group of proteins synthesized mainly during seed development, serve as a major nitrogen reserve which are utilized during germination of the seed. They are the source of necessary free amino acids and nitrogen to the growing plant with the sole purpose of providing proteins (nitrogen and sulphur source) required during germination(Chua et al., 2008). These
