This alliance at first has the effect of setting the speaker against the basic conservatism of his neighbor beyond the hill, who as everybody knows never "goes behind his father's saying": "Good fences make good neighbors." But the association of the speaker

    Diverse Australian Biomes Adapting Australia is a land of rather extreme weather conditions and widely diverse climates that force the vegetation living there to adapt in many interesting ways. Australia is the driest continent, and biomes such as grasslands and savannas are prime sources of widespread catastrophic fires. The plants that grow in the vast arid and semi-arid regions of Australia are prone to fires simply because of the desert climates that they grow in. High temperatures combined

  • Hooke's Law

    2203 Words  | 5 Pages

    Hooke's Law I have designed the experiment to measure spring constants when the springs are in series and in parallel. The theory is based on Hooke's law which is: F = kx where F = Force, k = Constant and x = Extension [Ref. 1]. Unfortunately with the springs I have, I can only measure extension, not compression for which Hooke's is also valid. Prediction Single Spring: Hooke's law, where F = kx. I predict that I if I plot Force on the Y axis and extension, x, on the X axis

    and the lower surfaces of its leaves. Experimental hypothesis Taking into account the relative background scientific Information, it is expected to be proven that the rate of transpiration from a leaf of a plant is proportional to the number of stomatal pores on the surface of that leaf. Null hypothesis Negative results would be to establish that the transpiration rate is inversely proportional to the number of stomatal pores or is not affected by it whatsoever. Introduction

    of spinach leaves. I pulled the plunger completely out of the syringe and put the leaf circles into the syringe. Next I pushed the plunger back in. I used the syringe to suck up the baking soda water until the syringe was about ¼ full of liquid. I placed my finger over the end of the syringe and pulled back on the plunger as far as I could without pulling the plunger out. I repeated this step three times. All the leaf circles sunk to the bottom of the liquid. I placed the spinach into a clear glass

    Investigating the Effect of Light Intensity on the Size of a Plantain Leaf Title: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the size of a plantain leaf. Hypothesis: I predict that the size of the plantain leaves would increase as the light intensity decreases. Therefore, plantain leaves found in the shade will have larger surface areas than leaves found in an open area. Theory: Sunlight is an essential factor need to complete the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis consists

    floating leaf disk assay technique works well for doing labs. For this experiment you will need baking soda, a plastic syringe, leafs, hole punch, plastic cups, dilute liquid soap, timer and a light source. Prepare 1/8 of a teaspoon of baking soda and 300 ml of water. The baking soda acts as an alternative source of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. You then add 1 drop of dilute soap to the solution, the soap wets the outside of the leaf allowing the solution to be drawn into the leaf. Avoid having

    Lemna Coursework Introduction Lemna are small water plants found in ponds. Typical of plants, they reproduce asexually. When they reproduce they form a bud on the edge of a leaf, which, when big enough, will eventually separate from the mother leaf and can then reproduce itself. Sometimes lemna plants can have up to 3 or 4 buds. Exactly the same as plants in soil, they use the sun's energy for photosynthesis, and water, but they have to take all their nutrition to grow and reproduce

    certain clues about what Odysseus feels his homecoming should (but not neccessarily will) be like. First of all, Odysseus wants to return to Ithaka. Homer goes as far as having Odysseus describe Ithaka: "There is a mountain there that stands tall, leaf-trembling Neritos, and there are islands settled around it, lying one very close to another. There is Doulichion and Same, wooded Zakynthos, but my island lies low and away, last of all on the water…" (Bk. 9, ln. 21-25). Kalypso lives on island, which
