Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 5S
A carrot is a biennial plant. In the first year of growth, the seed germinates and produces a plant with a thick storage root, hi the second year, a shoot emerges from the storage root and produces a flower stalk. Following fertilization, seeds are formed to start the life cycle again. Draw a carrot plant during the spring, summer, and fall of the two years of its life cycle and indicate the carbohydrate sources and sinks in each season.

The Flemish physician/plant physiologist Jan Baptista van Helmont was the first to publish his claim that the growth of plants (like willow trees) requires nutrition from which environmental source?
water (a hydrogen-containing source which we now designate as H2O)
sucrose (a carbon-containing source which we now designate as C12H22O11)
ammonia (a nitrogen-containing source which we now designate as NH3)
glucose (an oxygen-containing source which we now designate as C6H12O6)
methane (a carbon-containing source which we now designate as CH4)
Please complete the following question:
(attached is the question & the table)
Describe the similarities and differences in the absorption and regulation of iron and zinc.
What is the mechanism/process that makes phytates affect iron and zinc absorption? How can we enhance the absorption of these sources?
Which is the better choice—to eat processed foods that have been enhanced with phytochemicals or to eat natural foods that are rich in phytochemicals? Explain your answer.
Look up any uncommon food item in our culture, and find out the nutritional content (what nutrients can this item provide us both macro and micro? How to use it in the diet?)

We have figured out which elements are essential by using hydroponic culture, which involves growing plants in clay instead of soil. Micronutrients of plants include carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.

- Anna conducted an experiment that aimed to determine the deficiency symptoms of tomato plants placed in a hydroponic solution. Six bottles were prepared, and each bottle, except for the positive control, lacked a certain micronutrient. In the positive control, all nutrients were provided. Unexpectedly, the control setup still showed symptoms of micronutrient deficiency. Students later on found out that the relative humidity in the room was very high and transpiration was affected. 1.Explain the appearance of these symptoms in the positive control set-up in lieu of the importance of transpiration? 2.Theoretically, how will thermoregulation of tomato plants be affected if transpiration will not occur 3. Discuss internal factors that could affect the rate of transpiration of the tomato plant.arrow_forwardDanish is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends.
