5 SYnopsis: My experiential practical investigated the effect that temperature has on the time taken for Dwarf bean seeds to being germination and at what rate this occurred. I tested temperatures of 7 o C, 21 0 C and 4S o C all of which showed signs of germination. The rate of germination was tested by the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced as a result of cell respiration within the seed. Through my results I have seen that at higher temperatures the seeds produce more carbon dioxide and at a faster rate, showing that seeds favors higher temperatures rather than lower ones during germination. Introduction: For a plant to be grown it must begin with the germination 1 of the seed. This is the first stage of a plants life cycle and is seen as a physical change as the seed germinates for a seed into a living plant organism that is able to reproduce again. For the process of germination to occur the seed must go through a physical change within its cells. The cells must being to respire in a process called cell respiration 2 where the cells being to function under the right conditions and draw energy from the stored products with in the seeds endosperm. The endosperm is a stored food source of starch grains stored solely for the germination of the seed and the early stage of the life cycle before photosynthesis begins. The equation for the cell respiration process is represented below. Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy C6H > 6C02 + 6H20 + energy The equation shows the elements that are needed to trigger germination of a seed and of these I will be measuring the effect of heat on germination which is the energy source shown in the equation. I will test the rate of germination at temperature of 7 C, 45 C and room temperature that I averaged to be 21 DC. For my testing I used the species of bean Phaseolus vulgaris, commonly called the Dwarf Bean 3 a commonly grown garden variety bean used in cooking but more importantly for the testing the dwarf bean has a faster germination rate and having a large endosperm should produce more carbon dioxide as the cells respire. I will test the rate of germination by collecting the carbon dioxide gas (C02) produced by the seeds at the different temperatures, this will indicate the rate at which the cells respire, hence which temperature is best for the germination. The carbon dioxide will be measured in millimeters. This is a very important factor of germination as it should dictate what time of year the beans would be planted depending on the soil temperature or in a controlled environment what temperature the climate should be. 1 Germination - definition from Biology-Online.org Germination - definition from Biology-Online.org.

6 To measure the effect temperature has on the germination of Dwarf bean seeds. The rate of germination will be measure by the carbon dioxide produced through cell respiration, which will indicate the preferred temperature for germination. Hypothesis: If the temperature that Dwarf bean seeds are germinated in is increased, then the time taken for the seeds to germinate will decrease. Variables: Below is a list of the variables outlining the variables tested, controlled and the dependent variable which will be measured. Independent variable: The independent variable is the variable being put to the test and is the temperature that the seeds will be kept at through the testing period. The temperature will be measured in Degrees Celsius. Controlled Variables: The controlled variables are all the factors that could alter the testing results giving atypical results, VJhich VJould render the results invalid. These are controlled variables are. 7 grams of seeds were used in each test opposed to a number because the seeds are never identical sizes. The type of seed species was the same also it was checked that seede were sound and not cracked, rotten or anything irregular. 10ml of water was added to the test tube containing the seeds so the conditions other that the temperature were the same. Dependent Variable: Is depending variable in this experiment is the amount of carbon dioxide produced as a result of the seeds being germinated at the different temperatures. It will be measured in millimeters as the gas displaces water from a test tube. Page 6 of 16 2
7 Equipment: Delivery tube x 3 Measuring cylinder (25m!) x 3 Test tube x 3 Delivery tube x 3 Retort stand x 3 21 grams of Dwarf bean seeds (7 grams per test tube) Cotton wool Water (several liters) Electronic scales Oven Refrigerator Thermometer Method: 1. Measure the weight of 7 grams of dwarf bean seeds using electronic scales. 2. Place cotton wool at the bottom of one of the test tubes on an angle across one side and the pour the seeds in. Follow this by placing another layer of cotton wool on top of the seeds. 3. Measure 10ml of water using a measuring cylinder and pour this into the test tube mixing it so all seeds are in contact with moisture. 4. Insert the delivery tube into the test tube ensuring that it is air tight to prevent any carbon dioxide produced from escaping. 5. Construct a retort stand so that it can clamp a measuring cylinder that's held upside down to catch and measure carbon dioxide. 6. Fill an ice cream container with water and then submerge a measuring cylinder in the water so that there is no air space in the measuring cylinder. 7. Clamp the measuring cylinder in the retort stand so that the open end is below water level. 8. Place the end of the delivery tube into the measuring cylinder without producing any air bubbles, so that any carbon dioxide produced will displace the water in the measuring cylinder and form a bubble at the top of the cylinder that can be measured. 9. Repeat steps 1-8 for the other two temperatures being investigated in the fridge and oven. 10. Record the volume of the carbon dioxide found at the top of the measuring cylinder daily. Page 7 of 16 3

10 Results Carbon Dioxide Production in Germination The results of each test were recorded in the table above. The table shows the time in days and the levels of carbon dioxide collected in each test in millimeters. The results were then graphed so the pattern developed can be seen visually. Carbon Dioxide Produced in Germination 30 ~ Temperature 15 Degrees Celcius Oml Oml Oml 5 -! ~~ Time (Days) 5 6 The graph above was generated based on the results collected and shown in the table above. It displays the time taken for the seeds to begin germination through the process of cell respiration, which has produced the carbon dioxide. It is clear that there are significant differences in the rate at which this process took place and this will be discussed further and in detail in the discussion. Page 10 of 16 6
11 Discussion and Analysis 1 The results gained through the experimentation showed significant variation of the effect of heat on the germination process of the bean plants when exposed to these changing temperatures. At an extreme low temperature of 7 degrees as was the environment of the fridge; the respiration of the cells within the seeds seemed static for the first 5 days there was no carbon dioxide produced until after the 5 th day when 6ml was collected. A similar phenomenon was recorded at the other end of the time scale where the seeds were exposed to the extreme high temperature of 45 degrees in the oven. In this test the seeds showed immediate signs of germination at the 24-hour mark when 21ml of carbon dioxide was collected, yet at after 2 days all production of Carbon dioxide ceased indicating the cells were no longer respiring similarly to the test conducted in the fridge. 140 ID u '120 c ID 0') 100 L- ID E 80 w ij., 40 0 >. (T.5 I 20 0 Declining from<--- Optimum Temperature --->Increasing from PerCent Germination The graph above supports the results that show a decreased germination percentage as temperatures reach extremes of cold and hot although this can be accounted for in the denaturing of the enzymes in the seed cells. These biological catalyzes are an essential part of Metabolism 2 and are present in all living cells. Each enzyme serves a specific purpose and has an optimal temperature that it will function at. This rise in temperature increases molecular motion resulting is increased metabolism of the cells, yet there is a point that the enzymes overheat and denature losing their three-dimensional shape and disallowing the enzymes to react with its specific substrate. 3 Denaturing will stop all germination of the seeds and could explain the results gained through the testing. 1 Temperature effect on vegetable seeds - percentage germination Temperature effect on vegetable seeds - percentage germination.

12 Analysis and Evaluation 2 Logically evaluates procedures and suggests some appropriate improvements. The effect of temperature on enzymes also explains the results of the refrigerator test at 7 degrees. Research done by Thermophile Unit at the University of Waikato New Zealand stated, ((Cold temperature, on the other hand, slows down enzyme activity by decreasing molecular motion" so although the enzymes are still functional they will cells will metabolize as a much lesser rate explaining the length of time taken to produce a small amount of carbon dioxide gas at 7 degrees Celsius. It is also possible that the limitation of oxygen caused the seeds in the oven to stop producing carbon dioxide. Oxygen being one of the elements required for cells to respire and if the higher temperature was closer to the optimum rate for enzyme activity rather than denaturing then the limited supply of oxygen could have been depleted during the elevate cell activity, resulting in the seeds starving themselves and no carbon dioxide being produced. I found that the room temperature testing displayed expected results as the level of carbon dioxide gradually increased as the cells respired and the enzymes reproduced. The temperature was not hot enough to denature enzymes or slow the process of metabolism, also if it was a lack of oxygen that stop germination in the oven test the cells of the seeds obviously didn't starve themselves in the room temperature test. The results of this test are highlighted below showing the gradual increase of C02 production at 21 degrees. Carbon Dioxide Production in Germination Investigation 4 Inappropriate duplication of results in discussion section. The results of my experiment could have been improved and made more reliable through several methods on reflection. But replicating and averaging the results I could have gained a more reliable result of temperature increase and eliminated the likelihood of atypical results effecting my interpretations of the results. Also by testing more temperatures I could have possibly established the optimum temperature for Dwarf bean germination. During my testing I believe that the size of the test tube used was inappropriate, I believe it made have limited the amount of oxygen required for the germinating bean seeds and this may have lead me to false assumptions.
