Effect of Growth on Mung Bean Solution

Effect of Salt result on mung bean Bean Growth Hypothesis If the Mung Beans are weeweeed with a higher salt solution, then less Mung Beans will sprout. John Murrell 9-18-12 Magnet Biology Introduction This try out was through to test the effect of salt solution on mung domed stadium growth. Generally when you grow mung beans you soak them in urine for octonary to twelve hours and then arrange them in a separate container to sprout. Since this experiment was not monitored every hour, and had limited resources, we could not soak the mung beans for that stage of time.There are multiple courses to grow mung beans but since the experiment was to test the effect of different salt solutions, virtuoso and only(a) particular way was chosen. Methods 1. Gather two piece wipes and two petri lotes, no safety gawk or gloves will be required for this experiment. 2. empower a petri dish on a paper towel and trace the bottom of it so a circle is drawn. Do this twice on to to apie ce one one paper towel so there are four separate circles drawn. 3. crystallize the baksheesh and bottom of each petri dish so they can each be used separately, creating four dishes. 4. Label the petri dishes Distilled, . 5 solution, . 50 solution, and . 75 solution 5. Cut out the circles that were traced on the paper towel sheets. 6. Place one paper towel circle in the bottom of each dish. 7. Now take a graduated cylinder and place 20 mL of distilled water in it. 8. Pour the 20 mL of water on top of one of the paper towels in the dish so it can soak up the water. 9. Repeat step seven with a . 25, . 50, and . 75 salt solution. Be sure to put each one in a separate petri dish with a paper towel circle in it. 10. Place 20 mung beans in each petri dish be sure to check that the mung beans are paced obscure from each other. 11. Place the petri dishes on a sound reflection and leave them there for five days. 12. Take measurements each day and record results.

However, there were several faultings made in this experiment that would need to be corrected next time.One of them was taking the lid off of the petri dish and apply it as a separate container. Doing this made the water and solution mellow faster, and when it did thaw it was just put out into the environment. If there was a top to the petri dish the water would have stayed in the dish and recondensed after evaporation. An secondary to this would have been keeping just two petri dishes with the top and testing one salt solution against distilled water, or plastic wrap could have been put over each of the four separate dishes.Another mistake made was placing the dishes by a window. Th is allowed the sun to reach the dishes, which also caused the water and solution to evaporate faster. If this experiment is conducted again the petri dishes would be placed on a counter that is not by a window. The third and final major mistake made was placing twenty mung beans in each petri dish. This did not allow for the space the mung beans needed to grow, and caused them to each have less water since they had to compete for it. This experiment neither proved nor disproved the possibility made.If this experiment is conducted in the future, with all the corrections established, the original hypothesis generated would still be used. This hypothesis would also be based solely on background teaching discovered about mung bean growth, since there was no information created from this experiment.
