Engineers have designed a smaller version of such a container that can be used to seal off a small part of the plant. One version of this device, called a leaf chamber, is shown below. When a scientist uses this device on a plant, they don’t need to break the leaves off the branch or stem they are attached to. The leaf chamber makes an airtight seal around the stem or branch even though it is sticking out of the chamber.
Using this device, scientists detected the most change in O2 and CO2 levels inside the chamber when a leaf is in the chamber. They only detected a small change in O2 and CO2 levels in the chamber when a green stem was placed in the chamber. No change was detected when a root or a brown stem was placed in the chamber.
Why do you think a scientist would prefer not to remove the leaves from a tree or a plant in order to take these sorts of measurements?
Paul Klein has a favorite plant which is Duranta repens. He places the plant aloe in a covered airtight container that is exposed to the sunlight. Assume a watering system is provided. What will happen to the plant? Will it live or die? Why?
The following model is what type of root:
Monocot or Eudicot

- A team of researchers investigated the effects of phosphorous availability and light intensity on an angiosperm species. Seeds of the angiosperm were divided into four equal groups. Groups 1 and 2 were exposed to 200 μmol, and Groups 3 and 4 were exposed to 500 μmol. Groups 2 and 4 also received a phosphorous (P) solution. After 20 days, all plants were weighed, and the average dry weight of each group was calculated. The results are in the table below. Group 1(200 μmol, no P) Group 2(200 μmol, + P) Group 3 (500 μmol, no P) Group 4 (500 μmol + P) Average Dry weight (g) 0.8 1.1 1.5 6.2 Describe the effects of light and phosphorous on the growth of the plants in this study.

He planted a tree seedling weighing 2.2 kilograms (5 pounds) in a barrel filled with 90 kilograms (200 pounds) of soil and then watered the tree regularly. After 5 years, the tree had gained almost 75 kilograms (164 pounds), and the soils weight was unchanged. He incorrectly concluded that the tree had gained all of its additional weight by absorbing water. How did the tree really gain most of its weight?arrow_forward

Test tubes 1-3 will be filled with water to about three-fourths full, while only about 5-10 drops of water should be added into tube 4. Three fresh plants with intact roots and rid of the soil, will be placed into test tubes 2, 3 and 4. Roots should be completely immersed in water in tubes 2 and 3 while the root of the plant in tube 4 should not be in contact with (well above) the water. This will establish the setups which are: (a.) plant-free control, (b.) plant immersed in pure distilled water, (c.) plant immersed in distilled water-food color mixture, (d.) un-immersed plant. A few drops of oil should be added in all tubes to form a lipid layer on top of the water column on each set up. The set-ups should sit undisturbed at room temperature for two days. After 2 days, the water level will be observed as well as the condition of the plants in all the test tubes.Interpret the result obtained from each…arrow_forward
