Abstract In this study, I determined the average amount of growth that occurs when coleoptiles are exposed to different amounts and concentrations of IAA. I tested the hypothesis if more auxin is given then the plant will experience a larger growth. The tips of the coleoptiles were cut and then placed in different amounts and concentrations of IAA, ranging from .1ppm to 1000.0 ppm, and set in the dark for one week. They were then pulled out of darkness and the growth of each coleoptile was recorded. Results showed that group four (decapitated coleoptile in 1.0 ppm IAA), had the largest average...

... perform original research. In fact, many scientists are involved with research directly; running experiments and making observations. Although individually these scientists are engaged in many separate fields of science (e.g., Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics), collectively they're doing just two types or broad categories of research - basic and applied. Basic research expands the knowledge base in a field of science. It ... or "atomic weight"), and use these concepts to describe the structure of selected elements that are significant to living things. 4. Define isotope, and identi...
