...Topic Effectiveness of Brassica oleracea (broccoli) in treating weak and damaged hair Background Study Many people, especially the women, depend on the shampoos and conditioners which they see as effective treatment for hair damage. According to a famous hair damage control shampoo brand, hair damage can be caused by the following: 1. Salon machineries and chemicals. Perms and relaxers can cause damaged hair and they can change the shape of the hair via the agents in them that first break the disulphide bonds in hair. The hair is then formed into its new shape and neutralized. This is the term given to the re-shaping of the chemical bonds in their new positions—the process that fixes the hair permanently into its new shape. Hair colour, which can also cause damaged hair, changes hair by penetrating the cuticle to enter the cortex, which damages the F-layer. 2. Sunlight. The ultraviolet light in direct sunlight affects the cuticle in a similar way to bleach, eventually breaking down the keratin protein in the hair. This can result in light streaks and dryness in damaged hair. 3. Over brushing/combing of hair. Hair is by nature fairly robust and can withstand a lot of styling abuse, but it can still be damaged by over-zealous brushing and combing, especially if it’s wet and/or tangled. Metal combs as well as backcombing can cause damage to hair as it tugs against the scales of the cuticle. Once hair has been backcombed the delicate scales of the cuticle are lifted, and the...

...Bearded Dragons I have done a couple of different speeches on animals so far, and yes, you are about to hear another one. This time I am going to talk to you about one of my favorite reptiles, the bearded dragons. Most people are influenced by their mean appearance, as was I when I saw them for the first time. Beardies, as we call them at work, are one of the most laid back reptiles you can ever handle. They are a very easy reptile to have; they just need specific living conditions, diet, and lighting. When getting a juvenile bearded dragon, you can start with a 20 gallon tank. This tank will last you about 6 months, and by that time you will need to upgrade to a 40 gallon breeder tank or larger. A breeder tank means it is at least 18 inches in width. You will also want to have a screen top on it to allow airflow and proper heat and lighting to sit on top. With a juvenile bearded dragon, you want to have a reptile carpet as the floor. If you use sand, or any other type of loose substrate, it can get clogged in their intestines while eating, and can potentially be fatal. Beardies also like branches and a hiding place to sleep in their habitat. Bearded Dragons are omnivores, meaning they eat meat and plants. The food they eat should be no bigger than the space between their eyes. If it is bigger than that space it can cause paralyzing of the back legs. As babies, you should feed them small crickets 2-3 times daily. Give them about six crickets each time to start out, increasing...

...In 1992, Florida State University adopted the Brassica rapa plant from research scientists at the University of Wisconsin (Sherdan et al., 2007). Brassica rapa is in the same family as cabbage, broccoli, turnip, mustard, and cauliflower; it also makes up about one-third of all vegetable oil worldwide (Sherdan et al., 2007). It is a good model species due to its ability to grow, germinate, and flower rapidly (Sherdan et al., 2007). In this experiment, two strains of Brassica rapa seeds were used, a typical wild type and Rosette mutant, however, we chose to focus on the Rosette mutant seeds. Plant growth regulators also known as, hormones, regulate processes such as: seed germination, cell division and plant growth, responses to stresses, fruit...

...Plant Height and Flower Production in Brassica Rapa. Abstract: The effects of different amounts of Downey Fabric Softener were tested on two area of plant growth, flower production and plant height, to determine whether or not Fabric Softener is environmentally friendly. Each week for five weeks, the plants measurements would be recorded and the designated amounts were added. Fabric Softener was observed to be toxic to the plants by inhibited height and flower production. Fabric softener biodegrades into salt in the soil, depriving the plant of adequate water and thus proving the toxicity of fabric softener to plant growth. Introduction: The effects of different amounts of Downey fabric softener were tested on Brassica Rapa to determine whether or not this certain fabric softener is environmentally friendly. If Brassica Rapa is not environmentally friendly then alternatives to Downey can be explored. Brassica Rapa was used because high survival rate and rapid growth in waste areas and also in both acidic and basic areas (Young 2012). Downey Fabric softener is a household chemical that is full of nitrogen, constantly exposed to the environment, and also claims to be biodegradable (Austin et al. 1998) . Nitrogen is a limiting nutrient in plants and therefore the aid of nitrogen should effect growth (Freeman et al. 2013). The hypothesis that was being tested states that fabric softener will have a positive effect on the plant growth of Brassica Rapa. Therefore, the ideal result...

...Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants that consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia oleracea (Spinach), Brassica oleracea (Broccoli), Solanum tuberosum (Russet Potato), Malus domestica (Apple), and Allium cepa (Onion). The five different catalases from the sources will all be used to catalyze Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When Hydrogen...

...temperatures, it was particularly popular in colder regions. Kale served an important role during ancient Roman times as a staple food for peasants due to the vital nutrients it provided. English settlers are said to have brought kale over to the United States in the 17th century. During World War II, English citizens used kale as a crop in their victory gardens. Kale varies in leaf color from light to dark shades of green and violet. Differences can also be seen in height with the variety of stem lengths that kale may have, which can also be a factor in the flavor that kale produces. Kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts are all the same species of plant and are members of Brassica oleracea. It is generally more disease- and pest-resistant than other brassicas, although it can experience similar problems. USDA guidelines for cultivating...

...The allelopathic effects of juglone containing nuts Catherine Qin, Manavi Nagai, Whitney Hagins, and Reginald Hobbs* Department of Science AP Biology Lexington High School, 251 Waltham Street, Lexington, MA 02421 *Correspondence: rhobbs@sch.ci.lexington.ma.us Abstract Allelopathy is the inhibition of the growth of a plant by the allelochemicals, produced by a nearby plant, into their shared environment. It is a form of chemical warfare used by plants to defend their territory and resources, thus reducing interspecific competition1. Although some allelopathic plants produce agents that may benefit rather than harm surrounding species, the majority release chemicals that are toxic to others. To explore this biological phenomenon, the effects of allelopathic nuts of the family Juglandaceae, containing the novel allelopathic agent juglone, were tested on the germination of plants sensitive to allelopathy and those shown to be resistant. Based on previous studies examining allelopathy, it is expected that sensitive plants treated with this agent would cause negative affects on germination, while the seeds that are known to be resistant, would undergo relatively normal germination. The results of these experiments are generally consistent with this model of allelopathic toxicity and resistance. Allelopathy is a unique phenomenon in nature that is relatively new to the scientific community, and the results of this experiment are not only relevant to basic botanical research, but also...
