- An experiment tested the hypothesis that soil pH affects the color of flowers produced by plants. A researcher measured the pH of the soil beneath 1,000 hydrangea plants naturally occurring outside, in a park, and recorded the colors of the flowers on each plant. The researcher found that when the soil pH was about 5.0, hydrangeas produced 99% blue flowers, and when the soil pH was around 7.0, the plants produced 98% red flowers. part a: Which of the following would be an abiotic factor in the plants’ environment? Group of answer choices A. daylength B. pollinators C. insects that eat the plants D. flowers E. birds part b: Did the researcher show that soil pH caused the color of the flowers? Group of answer choices A. Yes, because the researcher included 1,000 plants in the study. B. Yes, because the results very strongly showed the relationship between flower color and soil pH. C. Yes, because the researcher had a clearly stated hypothesis. D. No, because there…arrow_forwardDiscuss the following prompt: In this experiment, we are looking to see how much different types of soil will affect the time it takes for pinto Bean seedlings to germinate out of the ground. The scientific name of a pinto bean is Phaseolus vulgaris. Pinto beans are kind of beans people usually eating, and people commonly use pinto beans in many dishes, such as rice and pasta. Planting pinto beans need many necessary factors, however, I think the type of soil is the most important one to grow it faster. Pinto beans are kind of plants can grow in dark and dry area, so even in dark (less light), they can grow as well. The goal is to determine that soils have different characteristics that can help or hurt plant growth. In order to discover the effects soils have on plant growth, three different soil samples will be used in a controlled study. The samples will vary in consistency, texture, color, location, moisture, and contact with human life to ensure that the samples are…arrow_forwardDiscuss the following prompt: In this experiment, we are looking to see how much different types of soil will affect the time it takes for pinto Bean seedlings to germinate out of the ground.
