Click here for project Reflection: This project was independent research that pertained to biotechnology. our group decide to study the effects caffeine has on a growth cycle. To model this experiment we used pea plants and watered them with various amounts of caffeine solution. We learned that in fact caffeine does effect the growth rate of plants. I think that this is important to know about because plants genetic make up his similar to humans. We can learn a lot abut epigenetics and altering them through plants. I drink caffeine regularly so this was really interesting to me. It showed me the effects that caffeine might have on my body with continued use. Next time I would create multiple generations of the plants to see how caffeine use of the parents affected the offspring. In the future i would like to learn more about human and caffeine consumption.
