...Cellular Respiration My hypothesis for the germinated pea experiment was that the level of aerobic respiration would increase as the temperature would increase. I also predicted that there would be an upper temperature limit. The experiment proved part of my hypothesis correct and part of it incorrect. I was correct in predicting that the rate would increase as the temperature increase, but I was incorrect in hypothesizing that there would be an upper limit. My hypothesis for the larvae experiment was that the level of aerobic respiration would increase as the temperature increased and there would be an upper temperature limit. My hypothesis was proved to be correct, for the rate of respiration continued to increase until the upper limit was hit and the rate started to decline. There were no unexpected results from our group, but I noticed that group six had some unexpected data in the class larvae table. The only explanation I can make out of it is that the group made a math error. I do not have any suggestions to make this experiment better. Other factors that can affect the rate of cellular respiration are amount of available nutrients, because this allows more energy to be produced from the cell with an increase in amount of nutrients. Another factor is the state of the cell, such as the difference between working and dormant cells or the difference between plant and animal cells. From our data, we noticed that the temperature had an effect...

...a scientist. He is considered the man who discovered modern genetics. Mendel discovered this 'genetics' one day while working in his garden. He was growing peas in 1856 and he worked with 7 characteristics of pea plants. All including pea shape, pea color, pod shape, pod color, flower color, plant size or height, and position of the flowers. These experiments lasted until 1863. Mendel bred his peas by taking pollen from both of the pea plants and cross breeding them. He has terms as well. "Recessive" and "dominant." The green peas being recessive and the yellow being dominant. He was never a type of person wanting to be recognized for fame. Three decades later, in 1900, three scientist who were doing agricultural research, came across his paper from 1866....

...many plants to buy. Consider also the possibility of working your vegetables in plots in front of your shrubbery. Many vegetables are ornamental in appearance. Some vegetables can be grown in your flower beds; others can be grown entirely in containers. The amount of sunlight your garden gets must also be considered. Leafy vegetables, for example, can be grown in partial shade but vegetables producing fruit must be grown in direct sunlight. Protecting The Garden Usually, the garden should be surrounded by a fence sufficiently high and close-woven to keep out dogs, rabbits, and other animals. The damage done by stray animals during a season or two can equal the cost of a fence. A fence also can serve as a trellis for beans, peas, tomatoes, and other crops that need support. In most sections of the country, rodents of various kinds damage garden crops. In the east, moles and mice cause much injury. Moles burrow under the plants, causing the soil to dry out around the roots. Mice either work independently or follow the burrows made by moles, destroying newly planted seeds and young plants. In the West, ground squirrels and prairie dogs damage vegetable gardens. Most of these pests can be partially controlled with traps. Soil, Drainage, and...

...Mendel’s plant breeding of Pea Plants Gregor Mendel, a German scientists [Pictured Right], has suddenly rose to fame after founding modern science of genetics. Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants: plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, and flower position and color. With seed color, he was able to demonstrate that that when a yellow pea and a green pea were bred together, in concluded in their offspring plant always being yellow. However, in the next generation of plants, the green peas reappeared at a ratio of 1:3. To explain his strange discovery, Mendel coined the terms “recessive” and “dominant” in reference to certain traits (Yellow peas are clearly dominant according to his recent studies, and green peas are recessive) He published his work in 1866, demonstrating the actions of invisible “factors”—now called genes—in providing for visible traits in predictable ways. Who is he? Mendel was born into an ethnic German family in Heinzendorf bei Odrau, Moravian-Silesian border, Austrian Empire (now known as Hynčice, Czech Republic). He was the son of Rosine and Anton Mendel, and had one younger sister called Theresia and one older called Veronika. They worked and lived on a farm which had been owned by the Mendel family for about 130 years. During his childhood, Mendel worked as a gardener and studied beekeeping. Later, as a young man, he attended gymnasium in Opava. He had to take four months off during his gymnasium studies due to medical...

...What Makes This A Good Book? According to Nancy Anderson, there are four things that make a book a good book. One of them is that the book or the author should be superior enough to win an award. Growing up, I read Split Pea Soup by James Marshall. Recently, I was asked to read this book again. I have read several of the George and Martha stories written by Marshall, but only recently discovered that Marshall was the recipient of the Wilder award in 2007. In addition to being a superior author, we must look at the story itself. One of the things that must be looked at is what Anderson calls the “literary elements” which includes, “characters, point of view, setting, plot, theme, style and tone.” (Anderson, 2010) In Split Pea Soup, George and Martha are relatable and friendly. The story is also something most kids can relate to, as many do not like certain foods. If a child can relate to a story, they will instantly like it more. Split Pea Soup would be considered a good book. The pictures in the book help the children become interested in the story. The story is something children will understand. In addition, the reader can ask questions through the story to help the children become involved. Lastly, the story has a message the children can take away from it. All these things make this a good book. Bibliography Anderson, N. (2010). Elementary children's literature. (3rd ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson Education. Saltman, J. (1985).

...the 1790s to the 1840s. The book did not seem to really discuss the actual trail of tears but rather the Cherokees Nation rise and fall. However, the book seemed to focus on the more successful or richer Cherokees. Reflecting on the title, it is called the rise and fall of the Cherokee nation but Ehle only seems to cover the rise and fall of specific people and events. The Trail of Tears focuses mainly on Major Ridge and his family, specifically his son John Ridge and his nephews Elias Boudinot and Stand Waite and other missionaries who were sent to convert the Cherokees to Christianity. Major Ridge would not convert to Christianity but did accept some of the white ways for his family. The principal chief of the Cherokee was named John Ross who was believed by many to be in state of denial. Ross and his followers blame Ridge and his followers for selling the Cherokee out when they sign the Treaty of 1835 that puts the seal on the removal. . Major Ridge was born around 1771 and died on June 22, 1839. Ridge married Sehoya who was a mixed-blood Cherokee in 1792. Ridge could not speak or write; he had no formal education. He received his title as major in 1814 after serving alongside Andrew Jackson. After receiving the title major he used Major as his first name for the remainder of his life. He later in life moved his family to what is now Rome, Georgia. Moving to Georgia helped him develop a plantation and become a successful planter which allowed him to own thirty...

...this fact. Around 17 or 18 families moved onto Cherokee land and began living in Cherokee homes, and according to Boudinot, there were even some reports of retaliation by the Georgians when the Cherokee people tried to keep their homes. Not only were homes up for the taking by the Georgians, but the Georgians began to steal horses and livestock that belonged to the Cherokees as well. Although the Cherokee people lodged complaints, General John Coffee admitted that while it was legally Cherokee land, it was the responsibility of the Principle Chief to throw the Georgians off of the land. Although this strategy of throwing Georgians off the land had not worked in the past, Major Ridge gathered a group of Cherokee people and dressed up in war-like attire and went to confront the white families. Major Ridge and his troops gave the white families time to evacuate the stolen homes and then they set the homes on fire and demanded that the white families leave the land permanently. This was the Cherokee peoples attempt to send a clear message to the Georgians that they were unwelcome. 2. In the report from Major William M. Davis to Secretary of War Lewis Cass, Major Davis accuses reverend J.F. Schermerhorn of submitting a false treaty. Major Davis lived in a Cherokee county during the time that the treaty was signed and he states that he is concerned over the actions that Schermerhorn took to negotiate with the Cherokees and the overall manner in which the treaty was obtained.

Most readers will probably be familiar with the tragedy of the “Trail of Tears " when federal troops Cherokee Indians forced to give up land in Georgia , Alabama , Tennessee and North Caroiina settled in India Territory ( present day Oklahoma ) in 1838-1839 . What may not be widely is known to kill just one of a number of significant changes are experienced by Cherokee Nation in the nineteenth century. The Cherokees radical transformation of political institutions and their legal at the beginning of the century; survivors internal conflicts, which verged on civil war, as a result of the removal policy of the 1830; beyond the American Civil War and its reconstruction as they struggled to combine their slaves into society, and face federal efforts to dismantle the sovereignty of India as the century drew to a close. In many respects, the legal institutions of the nineteenth century Cherokee Nation like those of the United States. The Cherokees split their government into three branches: an executive expressed by the Minister, a judicial body with district and supreme courts and legislatures have created laws for the nation. This article will review some of the laws passed by the legislature of Cherokee governments, especially those...
