Introduction:
Acid precipitation includes precipitation of any type of acidic components, such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid that is present in the environment in dry form and fall on the ground with rain, fog or snow. Acid precipitation has a pH of less than 5.6.

nclusion
Under normal conditions root hair cells are relatively low in water
molecules and high in other kinds of molecules (cell salts and nutrients).
Draw arrows to show water movement between the soil water, the root
hair cell, and the water transporting tube.

1. What would happen to the water movement if you put salt or a lot of
fertilizer in the soil?
2. Explain how the properties of water investigated in Exercises #1 and
# 4 assist a plant in the movement of water from the soil, into the root
hair, and throughout the structure of the plant.

- The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment? The rate of transpiration will be the same for both water and the nonpolar substance. Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion. Transpiration rates will increase as nonpolar compounds undergo adhesion and cohesion with wood fibers more readily than water. The rate of transpiration will be slightly lower with the nonpolar substance as the plant will not have evolved with the nonpolar…arrow_forwardScientific Inquiry - The Scientific Method 1) John wanted to test if light was necessary for green plants to make food. He obtained two identical potted plants, placed one in the light and one in the dark for seven days. He then tested each plant for starch to see if the plant made food. He noticed the plant in the light remained green and tested positive for starch whereas the plant in the dark did not. a) Identify these from the investigation Dependent variable Independent (manipulative or experimental) variable Control b) Write a hypothesis for the investigation c) Why was it necessary to obtain identical plants for the experiment? d) What are three important things you will consider when setting up an experiment to investigate a phenomenon?

This is the cultivation of a single crop in large areas. Vast tracts of land are converted to rice farms, sugar farms, and coconut farms. 2. This is used by farmers to kill insect pests and weeds. 3. The continuous and uncontrolled use of this product may increase soil acidity, thus destroying soil structure. 4. This can include clearing the land for agriculture or grazing, or using the timber for fuel, construction, or manufacturing. 5. Farmers use plastic sheets as mulch to cover 50-70% of the soil and allow them to use drip irrigation systems to have better control over soil nutrients and moisture. 6. A huge amount of agricultural territory is used primarily as pasture for cattle and other livestock. 7. Antimicrobial resistant bacteria can move from farms to humans through food and airborne dust. _8. It is a…arrow_forward

- SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • INTERPRET THE DATA A Minnesotagardener notes that the plants immediately bordering a walkwayare stunted compared with those farther away. Suspectingthat the soil near the walkway may be contaminated from saltadded to the walkway in winter, the gardener tests the soil. Thecomposition of the soil near the walkway is identical to thatfarther away except that it contains an additional 50 mM NaCl.Assuming that the NaCl is completely ionized, calculate howmuch it will lower the solute potential of the soil at 20°C usingthe solute potential equation:ΨS = -iCRTwhere i is the ionization constant (2 for NaCl), C is themolar concentration (in mol/L), R is the pressure constant[R = 0.00831 (L · MPa)/(mol · K)], and T is the temperature inKelvin (273 + °C).How would this change in the solute potential of the soilaffect the water potential of the soil?
