Question
Chapter 35, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
Some of the other factors regarding plant adaptation, which are responsible for gaining nutrients.
Introduction:
Plants require essential micronutrients and macronutrients for their normal growth and reproduction. These nutrients are mainly provided through their complex root system and conducting vessels like xylem and phloem.

Students have asked these similar questions
Xerophytic plants are well adapted for very wet conditions.
True
False
Which types of soils usually have reduced supplies of macronutrients (carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc.)?
neutral soils (pH 7)
slightly basic soils (pH 8-9)
strongly acidic soils (pH 4-5)
Ecology
Consider a soil with the following properties:
The water content at the permanent wilting point is 0 = 5 Vol.%
The actual plant available water accounts for 3 Vol.%
The water content at saturation is 0,-38 Vol.%
The water content at a suction of 10 cm is 35 Vol.%
a) What is the field capacity of your soil? State the calculation, not only the result.
b) What matric potential (suction) values do you assume for the wilting point and field capacity of
your soil?

- The data that is attached below was collected during a lettuce seed ecotoxicity assay. Lettuce seed assays are used to compare the ecotoxicity of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol by these alcohols' effects on germination rate and root elongination.
