An oak tree is monoecious.
Oak trees produce male and female flowers on the tips of their uppermost branches.  Pollen from the male flower fertilizes the female ovary, which develops into an acorn. The petals and sepals of the ovary fuse to form the acorn's top, or cap.
They reproduce asexually, through cultivation, and sexually, through the exchange of pollen between male and female reproductive systems.  An oak tree can self-fertilize.  A white oak tree can self fertilize. The white oak trees wait for the right season and use the wind to pollinate trees.

Research Question a~ How does solute concentration affect the movement of H2o across the membrane in Potato Cells?
Hypothesis a: The solute concentration causes the movement of H2o across the membrane in Potato Cells to increase.
Research Question b~ What is the solute concentration of a potato cell?
Hypothesis b: It is going to be equal to the isotonic concentration.
Set-Up~ *picture*
CER a: The solute concentration causes a difference in the movement of H2o across the membrane in the potato cells. Concentrations below 3.5 means it is going to gain mass or be hypotonic. If the concentration is above 3.5 means it is also going to lose mass or be hypertonic.  When it has 0 amount of concentration of sucrose, the mass change is 20%.  When it has 0.4 amount of concentration of sucrose, the mass change is about -2%.  This is osmosis, water is always going to move to where there is more solute.
CER b: The solute concentration of a potato cell is 0.35.  We know this because the percent of mass change at 0.35 is 0%.  When the mass change is 0%, that means the levels are isotonic.  Isotonic means the rate of the solute concentration and the solution are equal, and water is evenly distributing and changing at a constant rate, there will be no net change.

Extra info- hypotonic means less solute outside of cell
Isotonic going same rate
Hypertonic means less solute inside the cell

White light is more efficient than green light for the process of net primary productivity.  As you look at the evidence, after conducting the experiment for 2 minutes with the white light, the levels of 590 ppm.  After 5 minutes with the white light, the levels were at 160 ppm.  This is a 72.8% decrease in co2 levels. After 2 minutes of the green light, there was 1360 ppm.  After 7 minutes of green light, there was 1790 ppm.  This is a 24% increase in co2 levels.  Net primary productivity is photosynthesis-respiration.  Therefore, the lower the co2 levels, the higher the amount of primary productivity.  After 2 minutes, the white light has a lower amount of carbon dioxide, therefore having a higher amount of net primary productivity.  In addition, after 5 minutes, the white light still has a higher amount of primary production.  With this evidence, the conclusion can be drawn that there is a higher amount of net primary productivity from the white light than from the green light.  The spinach in our experiment is green because of a green pigment, chlorophyll. This pigment absorbs red light the best and converts the light into energy that it uses for metabolism. On the other side, the pigment doesn't strongly absorb blue or green light. Therefore, plants can't use this green light energy for photosynthesis.

Research Question: Is green or white light more efficient for the process of net primary productivity?
Hypothesis: White light is more efficient than green light for the process of net primary productivity.
Set-Up:
Materials- Clear bowl of water, co2 sensor, green lamp, white lamp, spinach, and clear bowl of water.  First, you will stuff 2 chambers full of spinach, about 20 pieces.  Secondly, you will calibrate the co2 detector.  After this, you will stick a light sensor in each of the chambers.  Next, you will put the tube 2 centimeters away from the lamp.  After 2 minutes, record the amount of co2.  After this, you will wait another 5 minutes and record the amount of co2 again.

CER:
As light increases, the amount of net primary productivity increases.  As you can see in the data, when there is a high amount of light, the co2 level is a change of -84.78%.  To add on, in the data, when there is a medium amount of light, the co2 level is a change of -8.9%.    Also, in the data, when there is a low amount of light, the co2 level is a change of 39.86%.  co2 is carbon dioxide, which is what the process of primary productivity, or photosynthesis, absorbs.  Net primary productivity is photosynthesis-respiration. Therefore, the lower the co2 levels, the higher the amount of primary productivity.  In the data, the lowest amount of light results in the lowest amount of light; the highest amount of light results in the highest amount of primary productivity.

Research Question: How does light affect the NET Primary Productivity?
Hypothesis: I think the more the light the more there will be net primary productivity.
Set-Up: First, you will stuff 3 chambers full of spinach, about 20 pieces.  Secondly, you will calibrate the co2 detector.  After this, you will stick a light sensor in each of the chambers.  Next, you will put the tube 2 centimeters away from the lamp.  After 2 minutes, record the amount of co2.  After this, you will wait another 5 minutes and record the amount of co2 again.  Next, you will repeat these steps, but cover the tube with two screens.  After this, you will repeat these steps, but take off the 2 screens and cover the tube with aluminum foil.
Materials: Tube, Spinach, co2 detector, 2 screens, aluminum foil, a lamp.

Pillbugs prefer wet surroundings more than dry surroundings.  I know this because there were many more bugs on the wet side, and in the bar graph, the error bars never overlapped.  Also, in the line graph, when the wet line went up, the dry line went down, and the number of wet was much higher. To add on, the overall averages of the number of pillbugs on the wet side were higher than the pillbugs on the dry side. The average amount of pillbugs on the wet side was 6.5, and the average amount of pillbugs on the dry side was 3.5. Therefore, pillbugs prefer wet surroundings. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, pillbugs prefer wet climates because they have gills that must be kept underwater. When their underside dries, they are vulnerable. Overall, pillbugs prefer wet surroundings more than dry surroundings.

The amount of water given to mung beans affect the length of the sprout.  When the mung beans were given 5 milliliters of water, the mung beans grew 6.26 centimeters long.  Also, when the mung beans were given 10 milliliters of water, the mung beans grew 6.53 centimeters long.  To add on, when the mung beans were given 15 milliliters of water, the mung beans grew 8.57 centimeters.  Finally, 20mL of water was 7.51 centimeters long.  Every single one of these different amounts of water have a different outcome of length of the mung bean.  None of them are the same length.  This shows that the amount of water given to the mung beans makes their length change.  Overall, in our experiment, the amount of water given to mung beans affect the length of the sprout.

Research Question
Will the amount of water given to 5 beans per petri dish affect the length of the sprout?

Hypothesis
My hypothesis is yes, it will.  Depending on how much water, the beans will either grow more or less efficiently.  I predict that 10 millimeters of water will affect the beans the most positively, and help them grow the longest.

Set Up
Materials: 5 sheets of filter paper, 5 petri dishes, 25 mung beans, and collectively 45 mL of water.
First, we put filter paper into 5 petri dishes.  Next, we put 5 beans into each petri dish.  After that, we labeled on the side of each petri dish the following: 0 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, 15mL, and 20mL.  Next, we put that amount of water(as of labeled at the side) into the petri dish with the beans.  Now they grow!
