Introduction
The burning of fossil fuels leads to the production of acid deposition globally. Nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide are released during the process into the atmosphere where it combines with water to form nitric acid and sulfuric acids respectively (Méndez-Vilas 2). The moment these acids are deposited on plants; they can result to direct damage or secondary damage. In the experiment, there will be an examination of the direct effects of the acid on plant germination. Vinegar will be used as the acid solution even though it has a lower ph. Therefore, the experiment will evaluate how low ph affects seed germination.
Objectives
To evaluate the direct effects of acid on plant germination
Design an experiment to determine how low ph acid affects the process of plant germination
Hypothesis
Vinegar acid will decrease the rate of the germination process
Results
Data table
Condition Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6
Water No change No change 4 seeds germinating All seeds germinating All seeds germinating All seeds germinating
Acid No change 3 seeds starting to germinate
3 seeds germinating
2 seeds turning black 2 seeds germinating
1 seed turning purple
2 seeds are black All seeds turning bright red All seeds turned purple
Discussion
The seeds in vinegar acid indicated some anomalies in the process of germination. They germinated earlier than the expected time as some turned black on the third day …
