Which of the statements below support the fact about camellia and azalea stated above? a. Loam soil is not advisable to be used in growing camellia and azalea because of its acidity. b. Camellia and azalea should not be planted in chalk soil. c. Camellia and azalea produced yellow leaves because they are planted in acidic soil. d.

- In home gardening, plants are good sources for nutrition, choose which statement is true? a. Tuberous plants are rich source of carbohydrates and an example would be cassava b. Monggo and lima beans are leafy vegetables and good sources for Vit A, B, and C c. Phytochemicals (anthocyanins, lycopenes, xanthenes) in plants are harmful to humans d. Calcium from plants has the same bio-availability to the human body as from milkarrow_forwardAs scientists research and develop biofuels, they are faced with many tradeoffs. A plant's usefulness for biofuels depends on how much energy can be collected from the plant matter. In addition, growing plants on a large scale requires energy—such as the gasoline and power needed to run tractors and other harvesting equipment or the energy needed to create and distribute fertilizers and pesticides. An efficient biofuel would maximize the ratio of energy output to energy input. The following graph illustrates the results of a 10-year study analyzing three different crops used in biofuel production. The data show how much energy was required to grow each crop on 1 hectare of land (energy input) and how much energy was recovered from the total crop on each hectare of land (energy output). A hectare is a measurement of an area of land and is roughly the same as 2.5 acres. What was the estimated energy input of the grass? A. 2 kcal × 106 B. 4 kcal × 106 C. 8 kcal…arrow_forwardAs scientists research and develop biofuels, they are faced with many tradeoffs.
