Question
Chapter 37, Problem 15TYU
Summary Introduction
To Explain: How a footprint food affects the properties of soil and the effect of these changes on soil microorganisms and seedlings.
Concept Introduction: Foot traffic can cause soil compaction, which means increased density of soil, reduced air volume, and reduced drain off surplus water. Soil compaction reduces the spaces between soil particles, which forces plants to work harder for their survival. It generally results in lack of water, nutrition, and air at plant roots.

An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment,
Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings
was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below.

- Below are pictures of leaves from a Garry Oak tree (Quercus garryana). These leaves are found on the same tree, however, the top cross section is of a leaf in the lower canopy, which is relatively shaded. The other of the upper canopy, which is exposed to more sun. ENCER 40x (x.s.) Describe two differences between sun and shade leaves at the macroscopic (leaf) and two differences at the microscopic (cross section) scale and provide explanations for the differences observed in color (specific chlorophyll a vs. b enrichment and accessory pigments) and shape (leaf thickness and width).

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.

- Why is clay a challenging soil for plants to grow into? Group of answer choices The field capacity point is really low, causing water to seep through the soil quickly Both the wilting point and field capacity are really low, causing the soil to be immediately oversaturated The distance between field capacity and wilting point is extremely small, which makes the plants highly susceptible to changes in precipitation It has a high wilting point, a lot of rain has to fall before plants can access the waterarrow_forwardBy choosing any 2 of the following topics/systems, discuss how does the animal and plant (name the animal and plant) works in maintaining their function in an environmental stress (name the stress) mentioned above. a) Transport System b) Digestive System c) Respiratory System d) Excretory Systemarrow_forwardII.

Lettuce seed assays are used to compare the ecotoxicity of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol by these alcohols' effects on germination rate and root elongination.

You want to investigate the role that these variables play in plant growth. You decide to test the substrate and see if changing substrate mixes will affect plant growth. Match the following experimental components with their descriptions. Experimental Components: ( Experimental Variable, Dependent Variable, Control Condition, Independent Variabe, A Confounding Variable That Must Be Held Constant) 1. type of substrate used: 2. growth resulting from substrate type 3. amount of water needed in all plants 4. substrate that is changed during the experiment 5. substrate that is not changed during the experimentarrow_forward
