- Explanationarrow_forwardThey started to read books, surf the internet and study researches on the effect of music to plant growth, Members from the group continued to formulate their respective hypotheses. They went on performing a simple experiment. The group selected two San Francisco plants of similar size planted on the sanme type of soil and kind of pots. Both plants were healthy. Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants. Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each plant's growth. Multiple Choice: Write the letter of your answer before the number. What was the problem in the Grade 7-Rizal's experiment? Which San Francisco plant is taller?

Read the paragraph carefully, then answer the questions. Dr. Anderson set up an experiment in which she planted bean seeds in two groups, A and B. After the sceds germinated, Group A was fed a balanced application of fertilizer with additional nitrogen, as recommended by most plant growers. Group B was grown under identical conditions, except the fertilizer they received contained no additional nitrogen. Dr. Anderson observed the plants for one month. You can see the results in Figure 1. Group A Group B Figure 1 1) What was the hypothesis for this experiment? (Use IF... THEN .. statement) 2) Which plants represent the control group? Explain your answer. 3) Which plants represent the experimental group?

State what microscope would you use and give reasons why? b) You have been provided with a plant showing the rooting system and the stem with several leaves. Give SIX features that you will look for to determine whether this is a monocotyledonous plant or a dicotyledonous plant. Present your answer in a clear, logical manner. c) In an experiment students were given the following materials and apparatus: - juices from three local fruits; 4% glucose solution; Benedict's solution; test tubes, beakers, syringes and boiling water bath.

- Urkle decided he wanted to test the effects of watering his plants with cold coffee. For a week he watered one group of plants cold coffee. He ignored the other group of plants. Urkle has no idea what might happen to plants that receive coffee. What is wrong with Urkle's experimental design? If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water his control group with cold water. If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water the plants in the other group with Dr. Pepper. If Urkle wants to test to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he should water the plants in the other group with hot coffee. If Urkle wants to test the effects of cold coffee on plant growth, he can ignore the control group as long as he makes sure both groups get the same amount of sun.arrow_forwardImagine you were testing how the presence/absence of soil bacteria affected plant growth. In this experiment you had two treatments - one with soil bacteria present, the other with soil bacteria absent. To determine how soil bacteria affected plant growth, you then measured plant height after 1 month. You find that plants grow taller in the treatment with soil bacteria compared to the treatment with no soil bacteria.
