Which type of graph would best to show how microwave radiation effected the growth of bean plants?
I suppose you are doing this for a science progect :D
The best graph to use in your situation is a line graph. A line graph shows data along a period of time, and your bean plants grew over a period of time. If you did different sets of data like one bean plant got no radiation, one got some, and one got a lot, then mark each one across the line graph in different colors for each one. The colors should be dark and easy to see.

Do microwave radiation affect the growth of flowers?
The specific frequency used in microwave ovens boils water (that's how it cooks) but 'Microwave radiation' covers a wide spectrum of frequencies, all of which (except the cooking one) are totally harmless.Obviously most plants won't like boiling water, so that would effect them. Otherwise no.
Do cacti absorb radiation, and if so, how does it affect their growth and development?
Cacti do not absorb radiation in the same way that plants absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. Radiation exposure can harm cacti by causing mutations in their cells, which can lead to stunted growth or abnormal development.
What has the author Robert Michael Roy written?
Robert Michael Roy has written: 'Some effects of ionizing radiation on vicia faba' -- subject(s): Plants, Photosynthesis, Growth (Plants), Effect of radiation on 'Simulated fallout studies in conifers' -- subject(s): Plants, Effect of radiation on, Coniferae
Is a microwave an example of nuclear energy?
The energy from a microwave oven is taken from an electric outlet. The electricity that reaches your home may come from different sources, including nuclear power plants but also other types of power plants; the microwave oven won't notice the difference.
Can cacti absorb radiation and if so, how does it affect their growth and development?
Cacti do not absorb radiation in the same way that plants absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. Radiation exposure can harm cacti by causing mutations in their cells, which can lead to stunted growth, deformities, or even death.
How does microwave radiation affect plant growth?
The term "radiation" covers a wide variety of types of energy, from the nonionizing radiations to the ionizing radiations. All the forms of radiation may have some effects on plants or seeds, good and bad. To answer your question thoroughly, we would need more information-like what type of radiation and how much. Nonionizing radiations include microwaves (heating effects), visible light, and UV (sunburn), not to mention the lower-energy forms like radiowaves. The ionizing radiations include x rays, gamma rays, beta and alpha particles, and neutrons.All seeds are exposed to natural radiation, as is everything in the world. So, a small amount of radiation would have no effect on the seeds or plants. The higher the dose (amount of radiation), the more of an effect you would expect. Ionizing radiation at high levels can cause inhibited sprouting and slow seedling growth and with increasing dose, reduced plant fertility and induced chromosome aberrations. But, these effects are only seen at very high doses.The Food and Drug Administration has approved irradiation of seeds for sprouting (like alfalfa sprouts) with doses up to 8 kGy (21 CFR 179 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission). Doses this high can kill microorganisms (pathogens like E. coli) on the sprouts without affecting the seeds or sprouts appreciably. This should reduce some cases of food poisoning that occur from eating the raw sprouts each year.Research has been going on for a number of years with ionizing radiation and plants, due to the space program. Will seeds survive and be able to grow if sent on space missions? How much shielding is needed to protect them? Questions like these are what scientists, both in the United States and Russia, have been studying for years. A resource for you to look at is The Effects of Over Exposure to Ultraviolet Radiation on the Growth of Plants and Bacteria. Bruce Busby, CHP
Why is radiation important to plants?
Plants depend on solar radiation (light) to synthesise their energy.
How do animals get solar radiation by eating plants?
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
An experiment tested microwave-heated water to water plants and the plants died. This suggests that the microwave did something to the water to make it harmful. Is microwave heated water harmful?
All a microwave does is send microwaves through objects and speed up the molecules. The reason the plants died is because the water was hot.
How does radiation affect plants?
Just because it duz^ thanx bro helpfull answernow my answer! :DPrevents Seed Growth· Ultraviolet radiation affects plant growth and development in many ways. First, it gradually stops seed growth and sprouting, depended on the how much radiation is released. Soil can become compacted and lose the nutrients needed for plants to grow. The results of various lab experiments supplying Ultraviolet radiation through filtered lamps proved that higher doses of radiation administered to the plants were very damaging.Disrupts Stomata Resistance· The stomata is a small air hole within a plant leaf that also controls water levels. If there is too much evaporation due to intense radiation, the stomata closes to reserve water. If the stomata is unable to open for a long period of time, the growth of the plant is stunted. Prolonged periods of radiation can completely damage the stomata and destroy the plant.Damages Plant Cells· The cells of living organism are also damaged and killed by Ultraviolet radiation. What allows plants to grow is the division and expansion of cells as they take up water. Cells contain chromosomes, the genetic material responsible for plant reproduction. If the cell is overly damaged by radiation, then reproduction is hindered.Increases Cell Mutations· Because ultraviolet radiation destroys cells, the chances of mutation are great. Affected plants are often small and weak with altered leaf patterns.Reduces Plant Fertility· Prolonged radiation can completely destroy the fertility of a plant. The plant gradually dies. The surroundings become poisoned and prevent the growth of future offspring.Not all radiation is bad. Sunshine is a type of radiation that is needed for photosynthesis and normal plant growth.
What parts of plants and flowers are effected by capillary action?
oxygen
What are the influence of the radiation environment on plant growth?
Radiation (depending on the level and dose) can damage the DNA (and RNA) at a cellular level, resulting in mutations (cancers) or even destroy the DNA/ RNA completely - resulting in the death of the cell. As ratiation can penerate through most materials it easily travels through soft tissue (like plants and animals). Low doses of radiation can cause light surface burns (1st and 2nd degree), heavy doses will cause major tissue and organ damage - normally resulting in death.
