Trisha Biology Extended Essay
Topic Research
Acne and plant alternatives.
How can different plant extracts increase the healing ability of scars or reduce acne growth.
The effect of various plant leaf methanolic extracts on the growth of acne.
Bacterial skin infections are increasingly common and
Planning
Local Issue of acne and how it is very common in Indian teenagers yet synthetic treatments have many drawbacks that make them inefficient in treatment. This issue of plant-based alternatives can be applied globally
Experiment
Autoclave and sterilize all equipment
Prepare extracts and concentrations
Find and use viable bacteria substitute for P. Acnes
Nutrient Agar
Experimentation and Learning
Learning how to write and structure and informational Lab report with the feedback implemented
Learn to use GraphPad Prism for the analysis of data and use excel for certain analysis.
Conducting an experiment with safety measures and accuracy
Learn to use different kinds of equipment and their function in experimentation
Challenges and Limitations
Measuring exact quantities of extracts and reducing contamination
Creating sufficient extract as many leaf powders produce different amounts of bioactive compound upon filtration
Understanding statistical anisalys
Experimenting with more advanced equipment and facilities was improbable as it was too advanced but I wanted to understand how the leaf extracts interact with skin in terms of absorption and not only surface level bacteria elmination.
