the Vessels elements (Titouan and Naël)

The vessel element from lettuce

A vessel element is a little spiral shaped object in the wall of the vessel that carry sap and water in the plant. The vessel element is made of lignin the same molecule that composed the wood.It’s utility is to prevent the vessel from collapsing on itself,because the lignin make it very hard. When the lettuce die,some little organisme start eating the lettuce and the vessel,and only left the hardest part,the vessel element.

Ph results (Titouan and Naël)

 

With these measurment,we can say that the Ph in the outside artificial puddle grow faster than the
ph in the inside artificial puddle.

graph ph

The other measurement show that the temperature is also higher outside than inside.

-a higher temperature make micro-organism more active,an accelerate the decomposition of the lettuce.Thus,the Ph grow faster with the higher temperature.

-a higher temperature also make evaporation faster. The amount of water reduce,but the amount of acid stay the same,so the acid concentration grow up,and so the ph.
