spectrum causes the most plant growth and which color in the visible spectrum causes the least plant growth? If the different light colors affect the plants' growth then the most absorbed colors result in the most growth and the least absorbed ones will cause the least plant growth. 2. How did you test your hypothesis? Which variables did you control in your experiment and which variable did you change in order to compare your growth results? I observed the growth of the plants under each light color

The Effects of Climate on Phytoplankton Introduction Phytoplankton are dependent on climate and are affected greatly by the drastic climate change. Phytoplankton are “floating and swimming algae and photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms of lakes and oceans” (Nester 2012). “Climate change is not restricted to temperature change, but cloudiness and hence surface irradiance are predicted to change as well” (Klauschies 2012). Climate change that effects phytoplankton depends on cell size and food web

exceptionally frosty with just snowfall (Taiga, 2000). The summers are warm, blustery, and sticky. A considerable measure of coniferous trees develops in the taiga. The taiga is otherwise called the boreal timberland. The taiga doesn't have the same number of plant and creature species as the tropical or the deciduous backwoods biomes. It has a great many bugs in the mid-year. Flying creatures move there consistently to nest and sustain. The summers are mostly warm and moist and very

1. A forest surrounded by highways, with a species of squirrel. Fragmented watersheds, trout. Clear cutting of rain forest, tree frogs. 2. A cactus is a specialist species, its habitat is the desert. So, if the cactus received too much water or was brought to a higher elevation it would die. 3. This would be a large and strenuous study; however, each species would have to be monitored at all times in all habitats. All their actions and behaviors would need to be assessed to determine their role in

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
