While camping you notice a "do not litter" sign nailed onto the trunk of a mature oak tree about 7 feet off the ground. When you return five years later, will the sign be at the same height or will the trees growth have raised it?
If you had nailed an object to a young tree at a height of four feet off the ground and then returned after the tree had grown for several years, the object would still be four feet off the ground. Why has the object not moved further from the ground as the tree grew?
If a tree is leaning toward you, you will underestimate the height.

The numbers below shows the density of stomata on the leaf surfaces of three species of plants. Based on this information, which statement is incorrect? Stomata Density: Elodea (upper epidermis) = 0, (lower epidermis) = 0, Water Lily (upper) = 420, (lower) = 0, Black Walnut (upper) = 0, (lower) = 465 a) Since Elodea does not have any stomata, it does not carry out photosynthesis. b) In Elodea’s aquatic environment, stomata are not used to control gas exchange. c) Since black walnut trees thrive on land, stomata are located on lower surface to decrease the amount of water lost in the heat of the sun. d) Since water lilies live on the surface of water, transpiration occurs from the upper epidermis because that is where it is in contact with air.arrow_forward
