NaCl solution concentrations on the germination Phaseolus vulgaris

Submitted by angelasalaza on Wed, 09/12/2018 - 21:09

The experiment was performed to determine whether salt concentrations directly affected with the bean’s germination and root length. The beans were placed into different solutions of  NaCl concentration. The control group of the experiment, Set one had been diluted with a solution of 0% NaCl, to determine whether salt had any effect on the other beans different bags labeled two through seven were watered with different sodium chloride concentrations. As the concentrations of NaCl increased the percentages of germination decreased along with root length, set two 0.025% NaCl  solution had the highest root growth 8.5 cm. Due to NaCl concentration increase all bean germination after the third experiment the third roots showed lower percent of germination decreasing from by 90% to 0%. Different to the first three sets of lower concentrations of NaCl solutions the beans that did germinate produced shoots in lesser lengths 0.05% 6 cm, 0.1% 7.5 cm, 0.5% 5.6 cm, 1.0% 4.7 cm, 2.5% 0cm, 5.0% ocm. The beans that did not germinate enabled a mold at sprouting phase.  The experiment did show that increasing the NaCl solution would affect bean germination because increased NaCl concentrate prevented shoot growth .

A few of your sentences sound like they should or could be separated with commas or broken into separate sentences. For example, where you said " As the concentrations of NaCl increased...." the sentences should end after "root length" and a new one should start at "set two." Also, it looks like some things are capitalized that shouldnt be so keep an eye out for that (i.e. "Set one...")

Hi! In your paragraph, I noticed that a few of the sentences seemed really long, and could be broken up. For example "The control group of the experiment, Set one had been diluted with a solution of 0% NaCl, to determine whether salt had any effect on the other beans different bags labeled two through seven were watered with different sodium chloride concentrations". Personally, I would write something more along the lines of "The control group of the experiment, set one had been diluted with a solution of 0% NaCl. This was done to determine whether salt had any effect on the other beans different bags labeled two through seven which were watered with different sodium chloride concentrations.
