Question
Chapter 36, Problem 9TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The percentage of the added mass accounted for by soil and compare it with the predicted 4%. Illustrate and test one hypothesis for explaining the difference between the expected and observed results.
Introduction:
Mass is defined as the matter present in the body, which has no definite shape. The nutrients are transported to the plants through the soil. The water is an essential component for transportation of nutrients within the plants. According to the given question, the soil lost 60 grams (g) and the tree gained 74,000 g.

Scientists studied what caused leaf shedding in a drought deciduous (=shedding leaves during the dry season) subtropical species. They quantified the quantum yield (=efficiency) of the PSII complex and the leaf hydraulic conductance (=efficiency of leaf water movement) in leaves of that species during the wet to dry transition
Explain the results in the context of what could drive leaf shedding in this species?

- EXPERIMENT :UTILIZATION OF SOLID WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS There are wastes of four fruits peels; apple, orange, banana, and pineapple were used for this experiment. The percentage of biomass produced and moisture content were calculated by using the given formulas. It is given that the weight of each substrate is equal to 40 grams. The biomass produced is maximum in apple peel followed by banana peel, orange peel, and pineapple peel ( observation 1) and banana peel has highest moisture content followed by orange peel, pineapple peel, and apple peel (observation 2).

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.

- Imagine you were testing how the presence/absence of soil bacteria affected plant growth. In this experiment you had two treatments - one with soil bacteria present, the other with soil bacteria absent. To determine how soil bacteria affected plant growth, you then measured plant height after 1 month. You find that plants grow taller in the treatment with soil bacteria compared to the treatment with no soil bacteria.

The plants were then divided into 5 groups and each group subjected to a different soil water potential as follows: Group 1: 0 bars Group 2: -0.03 bars Group 3: -0.2 bars Group 4: -3.0 bars Group 5: -5.0 bars At the end of three weeks at these various soil water potentials, the plants that would have made the least growth would be expected in which group?
