Plants have always had an important on our lives. From the beginning of time and throughout evolutionary relationships, humans and animals have relied on plants as a source of food, such as fruits and vegetables. It is unlikely that few would argue that plants are a valuable source of nutrients for many organisms and species, it is important that we should recognize them for the fact that they release oxygen and transpire water, these processes are important to their survival. Plants remove carbon dioxide from the earth’s atmosphere through photosynthesis, which is represented by the following equation: Additionally, plants utilize chemicals that enhance their development and growth. These hormones are often called auxins. Auxins have the ability to affect various processes that influence photosynthesis, development and plant growth; and in some cases the life cycles of that particular plant.…show more content… The objective is to determine what effect if any does Gibberellic Acid has on the growth of two types of plants, radish (Raphanus sativus) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). By comparing the growth of both the radish and wheat plants using tap water (control) to determine if interspecific and intraspecific competition occurs in these species. We will also be comparing the two plants growth with the interaction of 50 mg (or 10ml/ 2tbsp) of Gibberellic Acid, a natural plant hormone. This will determine if the acidic solution will affects the growth of the wheat and radish plants, what their relative growth rate might be and if it will, at all, effects the overall competition between the
