Acid rain can have a pH between 1.5 and 5.0. The effect of acid rain on the
environment depends on the pH of the rain and the characteristics of the
environment. It appears that acid rain has a negative effect on plants. The
scale below shows the pH of normal rain. Provide the information requestec
below that should be included in a research plan to test the effect of pH on
the early growth of bean plants in the laboratory. Which of the following
would be the dependent variable? (choose all that apply)kr

Corn has been genetically engineered to produce the anti-insect poison of a bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. What is one benefit of this? What are some of the risks?
Experiments usually have several controlled variables. These are variables that must be kept constant in all parts of an experiment. For example, if an experiment is testing the effect of sunlight on the growth rate of 5 seeds, the only variable that should change should be the amount of sunlight. All other variables should remain the same to ensure that sunlight is the only aspect affecting the results. The other variables, such as soil type, amount of water, type/amount of fertilizer, are the controlled variables. Looking back at the simulation experiment on the meteorite, describe two variables that should have been controlled.

- They 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? What kind of music should be given to plants? 1. a. How long can plants grow? d. Does music make a plant…arrow_forwardObservation: I want to know what effect salt has on the growth of grass. So I measure out 3 equal-sized squares of grass out the back of the Green Building. The first square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water from a watering can every day. The second square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 2 grams of salt mixed in, every day. The third square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 4 grams of salt mixed in, every day. I measure the height of the grass after 14 days and note the following observations. The first square is green and 15 cm high. The second square is greeny-yellow and 6 cm high. The third square is yellowy-brown and looks dead and is only 2cm high. What could we infer about the effect salt has on the growth of grass?arrow_forwardA poultry farmer is curious about the effectiveness of two types of exogenous enzymes, namely papain and bromelain, to be used as an additive in poultry feed. The farmer is farming chickens and ducks. It is the first attempt for the farmer to evaluate the potential effect of these two exogenous enzymes on the growth performance of the poultry he farmed. Create a research framework to aid the farmer with experimental design and statistical analysis.

Plants cannot absorb wavelengths between 350nm to 1pm and wavelengths between 800nm-1mm. b. Plants are more likely to die and not survive if they have malfunctional pigments or no pigments at all. c. Leaves have green coloration and carrots have orange coloration because the pigments responsible for the coloration absorb wavelengths that correspond to the green color for leaves and orange color for carrots.arrow_forward
- Imagine an experiment where I am testing the effects of salt on the growth of corn plants. I set up several treatments where some plants get no salt, some are watered with a 0.05% salt solution, and some are watered with a 0.1% salt solution. I use the same species of plants, the same soil, and the same total amounts of water in my experiment. Every other day I record the height of the plants in cm. What is the independent variable in my experiment? What is the dependent variable in my experiment? What is the control treatment in my experiment? What are three controlled variables in my experiment?arrow_forwardWhat did Went's experiments with the gelatin block demonstrate? A. Plants cannot be induced to bend during growth unless they are exposed to an indirect source of light. B. Light induces the coleoptile to produce a diffusible substance that moves to the growing region of a plant where it stimulates cells to elongate. C. Gelatin can enhance the movement of a soluble factor from the growing region of a plant to the coleoptile where it accelerates growth. D. When a plant tip is removed from a growing plant, the plant acquires the ability to bend toward the lightarrow_forwardWhy do you think it is a good idea to soak wilted lettuce in cool water before serving it? a. The water is a hypotonic solution relative to the cytoplasm in the plant cells, so the plant cells will gain water and the lettuce will become crisper. b. The water is an isotonic solution relative to the cytoplasm in the plant cells, so they will gain water and the lettuce will become less wilted. c. The water is a hypotonic solution relative to the cytoplasm in the plant cells, so the plant cells will gain water and the lettuce will become more wilted. O d. Soaking the lettuce in water would have no effect.arrow_forward
