Chapter 29, Problem 7TYU

Two groups of tomatoes were grown in the laboratory, one with humus added to the soil and the other a control without humus. The leaves of the plants grown without humus were yellowish (less green) compared with those of the plants grown in humus-enriched soil. The best explanation for this difference is that

  1. A.          the healthy plants used carbohydrates in the decomposing leaves of the humus for energy to make chlorophyll.
  2. B.           the humus made the soil more loosely packed, so water penetrated more easily to the roots.
  3. C.           the humus contained minerals such as magnesium and iron, needed for the synthesis of chlorophyll.
  4. D.    the heat released by the decomposing leaves of the humus caused more rapid growth and chlorophyll synthesis.
