Planting Science - Projects: Phosphorus Absorption in Developing Monocots and Dicots
You are here: Home / Groups / PBCHS Bartenslager Spring 2020 / Projects / Phosphorus Absorption in Developing Monocots and Dicots
Explore They perform photosynthesis. Plants also provide us food when taken care of with enough sunlight, right temperature, and water.
Research Question Which type of seed uses more phosphorus?
Predictions If monocots and dicots use the same amount of phosphate, then the monocot will absorb more.
Experimental Design 1. Place soil in the cup 2. Place as many seeds as we can in the cups 3. Add water and fertilize the plants 4. Every week, conduct a soil phosphate test for each plant
