- - - - Polyatomic ions are similar to other ions in that they bond with ions of the opposite charge.
        
        Ionic compounds with polyatomic ions are neutral.
        
        This relates to our lab because polyatomic ions such as ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate are forms of nitrogen needed for plant growth. Since plant growth is the objective of our lab, polyatomic ions are very important in our Poop Loop Lab. # # #
        
        Salmon provide nitrogen to plants, predators eat the salmon, then deposit the carcass in the forest, where the corpse will emit useable nitrogen to the trees. With lower amounts of salmon returning, fewer plants will receive nitrogen, plants such as the ones that produced the seeds for our lab. #
- - - - In our lab, the plants absorbed useable nitrogen from the soil, which enabled them to grow . #
  - - - In our lab, our fertilizers follow an NPK ratio, but have different amounts of potency. The amount of each of these will result in which plant has the most substantial growth, or which have the most successful reproduction.
- - - - In asexual reproduction, only one parent is required and the offspring is "genetically identical" to the parent.
        
        In sexually reproduction, two parents are involved and each contribute half of their "genetic information" to the offspring.
        
        Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Flowers contain both male and female parts and construct seeds through pollen from the male gametes being inserted into the female gametes of another flower.
        
        Plants reproduce asexually when new plants grow from the stems, leaves, or leaves of an existing plant
        
        In our lab, we planted seeds, and because seeds are a product of sexual reproduction, our plants are reproducing sexually.
        
        Our Poop Loop Lab plants are going to have half of each of their parents genetic makeup which means they will not be clones of either parent.
    - - This relates to salmon runs because as fewer salmon return, fewer can be reproduced, and in our lab, it would mean that every plant would only have as much fertilizer as plants C or D rather than being able to have a fertilizer as potent as plant A. #
