The purpose oI this experiment was to Iind the vitamin that prevents antioxidants

most eIIiciently. It is predicted that Vitamin C will be the best preventive vitamin
against antioxidants. This will allow the seeds to grow.
First, 15 petri dishes were lined with Iilter paper. Then, they were put into Iive groups
oI three, and two groups acted as the controls. Each oI the three groups was saturated
with the RDA oI a vitamin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, or Beta Carotene, and the Iourth
group was saturated with water, and the IiIth with hydrogen peroxide. Finally, each
petri dish was Iilled with 150 cherry belle radish seeds, and saturated with Iive mL oI
hydrogen peroxide. All the groups were placed under a growing light and the seed
germination was recorded.
The result oI the experiment proved that Beta Carotene was the best preventive
vitamin against antioxidants. Water germinated 211 seeds, with a percentage oI 70.
Hydrogen Peroxide germinated 256 seeds, with a percentage oI 85. Beta Carotene
germinated 141 seeds, with a percentage oI 47. Vitamin E germinated 82 seeds,
with a percentage oI 27. And Iinally, Vitamin C germinated 37 seeds, with a
percentage oI 12.
