Textbook Question
Chapter 37, Problem 12TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Acid precipitation has an abnormally high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). One effect of acid precipitation is to deplete the soil of nutrients such as calcium (Ca2+), potassium (K+), and magnesium (Mg2+). Suggest a hypothesis to explain how acid precipitation washes these nutrients from the soil. How might you test your hypothesis?

- Observation: I want to know what effect salt has on the growth of grass. So I measure out 3 equal-sized squares of grass out the back of the Green Building. The first square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water from a watering can every day. The second square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 2 grams of salt mixed in, every day. The third square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 4 grams of salt mixed in, every day. I measure the height of the grass after 14 days and note the following observations. The first square is green and 15 cm high. The second square is greeny-yellow and 6 cm high. The third square is yellowy-brown and looks dead and is only 2cm high. What could we infer about the effect salt has on the growth of grass?arrow_forward30. Living material (like plant roots) consist of many kinds of chemicals dissolved in water. Suppose the water concentration within the root cells is 90% explain why water in the soil (nearly pure water) tends to move into plant roots rather than out of themarrow_forwardWhy fine textured soil hold more water as compared to coarse textured soils?arrow_forward
- The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment? The rate of transpiration will be the same for both water and the nonpolar substance. Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion. Transpiration rates will increase as nonpolar compounds undergo adhesion and cohesion with wood fibers more readily than water. The rate of transpiration will be slightly lower with the nonpolar substance as the plant will not have evolved with the nonpolar…arrow_forwardWhy is it that saltwater cannot be used to irrigate plants?arrow_forwardThe two pictures below are two soil profiles that typically form in under different types of vegetation, but can also occur relatively close together: 20 40 First, using morphological clues learned in lab, define what these two soil orders are.

Then describe which CIORPT factor and which soil forming.process is probably most important in determining the difference between these two soil types are fairly close to one another?arrow_forward
- DRAW IT Draw a simple sketch of cation exchange, showinga root hair, a soil particle with anions, and a hydrogen iondisplacing a mineral cation.arrow_forwardScientific Inquiry - The Scientific Method 1) John wanted to test if light was necessary for green plants to make food. He obtained two identical potted plants, placed one in the light and one in the dark for seven days. He then tested each plant for starch to see if the plant made food. He noticed the plant in the light remained green and tested positive for starch whereas the plant in the dark did not. a) Identify these from the investigation Dependent variable Independent (manipulative or experimental) variable Control b) Write a hypothesis for the investigation c) Why was it necessary to obtain identical plants for the experiment? d) What are three important things you will consider when setting up an experiment to investigate a phenomenon? Explain why.arrow_forward43. Two soil samples, A & B, at same soil moisture levels are placed in contact with each other. Water will more likely move from soil B to soil A if their osmotic potentials, expressed in kPa, are: O A=-30; B=-70 O A=-10; B=+10 O A=-60; B=-10 O A=-50; B=-100 OA=-20%; B=-20arrow_forward
