Height Height Color Discussion of Graph: The graph tracks the different heights. Blue light shows better results than red or yellow light. Blue is part of the white light spectrum, so it is understandable that the results would be similar. White Continue Reading...
The hypothesis here is that it is the quality of the light, not the quantity of the light that makes a difference, and having a lot more light will not necessarily make photosynthesis occur any faster. Discussion With an experiment like this there Continue Reading...
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent Continue Reading...
living things are characterized by the following seven characteristics namely mobility, respiration, excretion, sensitivity or response to external stimulus, growth, feeding, and reproduction. Though there may be variations between animal and plant Continue Reading...
Factors Influencing Blooming in Hydrangea Plants: Applying the Scientific MethodQuestion or ObservationIn my personal garden, I have noticed a curious behavior: my Hydrangea plants do not bloom every year. This observation has led me to wonder what f Continue Reading...
Solar Flares What causes solar storms? Why should people nearly a hundred million miles away on Earth care so much about them? Massive explosions of electrified plasma from the sun are identified as Solar Storms but often they just cause a beautiful Continue Reading...
" Because of the ability to reproduce in large amounts in a small amount of time, phytoplankton are considered as the first link in the food chain of nearly all marine animals. Phytoplankton provide food for a large variety of organisms, including th Continue Reading...
