Plant Response Lab Plant Response Lab Introduction When trying to grow plants you must take into account the different variables that may help or hurt your plants. For instance the amount of light, water and food it gets. In this lab we wanted to see the different effects certain things would have on growing plants. We did three different experiments. The first one was a light vs. dark experiment. To see if a plant would grow better in light vs. a dark area. This has to do with phototropism which is the response of a plant to light and etiolation which is when a plant is grown in a dark place and grows spindly and tall and white. My hypothesis was if we put one in a dark place and one in a light place than the one that had the light would grow. I didn’t believe the plant grown in the dark would grow. The next experiment we did was testing the apical dominance of the apical bud. This is a little bud that has an auxin that causes the lateral buds to become dormant. We wanted to find out what would happen if we removed it. My hypothesis for this one was that plants, one, light, dark, plant, experiment, grow, acid, first, different, auxin, pea, done, buds, apical, out, dwarf, cut, control, bud, vs, three, table, put, place, next, lateral, hypothesis, weeks, week, third, tall, second, pots, placed
