| Division: | Sciences de la terre et de l'environnement | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Greater Vancouver | | Ville: | Vancouver, BC | | École: | Crofton House School | | Sommaire: | Biodiesel is a cleaner-burning renewable alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel. Lettuce seeds were incubated with various concentrations of biodiesel and diesel to compare their effects on lettuce seed germination and root elongation. Results showed that biodiesel was as toxic and perhaps slightly more toxic to lettuce seeds than diesel. |
