Introduction Parenchyma cells are one of the three main types of plant cells. They are the general and multifunctional cells that make up much of a plant (Dengler, Nancy). Within the Parenchyma genre, there are several different varieties of the cell. Some Parenchyma cells are called Chlorenchyma cells (“Parenchyma Cells and Tissues”). Chlorenchyma cells are…

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to see separate and identify the pigments of spinach cells through the use of paper chromatography. Through this lab, one can understand the rate of photosynthesis and absorbency rate of chloroplasts in different light intensities. Background: Paper chromatography is used to separate and to identify the mixtures of…

Introduction Substrates exhibit varying effects on plant growth and seed germination. The primary purpose of conducting this experiment was to test the effects that substrates have on plant growth and seed germination. To achieve this, three different substrates were to stimulate the seed germination and plant growth. The substrates used include peat moss, vermiculite, and…
