The following experiment was carreid out at ILC Laboratories to measure the effect of different nutrient solutions on bean root growth. Three nutrient solutions were made:  1.) A solution containing all required nutrients 2.) A solution containing all required nutrients except nitrogen; and 3.) distilled water. The results recorded for root length and leaf colour were as follows: Solution 1.) 47 mm; deep green Solution 2.) 17 mm; pale green-yellow Solution 3.) 14 mm; pale green-yellow   a.) explain how the solution ranked in relation to the other two; b.) state the evidence that supports your answer; and c.) explain why the plant grew the way it did
