- 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_forwardNitrogen deficiency stunts plant growth and causesleaves to turn yellow and then die. Why does nitrogendeficiency cause these symptoms? Hint: Think aboutwhich biological molecules incorporate nitrogen atoms.arrow_forwardPhosphorus is a mined, nonrenewable resource and comes from phosphate rock.

She leaves a set of special macronutrients supplement that you can apply to the plant while she's gone.

- You are shopping for fertilizer for your new tomato plants in your garden. You have a choice between a name-brand fertilizer and a generic-brand fertilizer, which are both in liquid form. The labels indicate that they are identical in composition (the type of nutrients and their amount per unit volume of fertilizer are identical). The name-brand fertilizer advertises that it is superior to any other fertilizer on the market. To test the claims of the two fertilizers you decide to buy one bottle of each and treat equal numbers of "Big Boy" tomato plants (a single type of tomato that goes great with salads) with the same amount of each fertilizer for the entire growing season. Using the information from the paragraph above, which of the following is an example of a controlled variable in your experiment?
