Which of the following would allow a plant to tolerate a cold environment?
Group of answer choices
A. producing small, smooth leaves with a small boundary layer
B. generating sparsely placed leaf hairs to reflect solar radiation
C. increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes
D. increasing evapotranspiration
E. increasing the proportion of leaf mass relative to total body mass
(1)
a. The process responsible for absorption of water by root hair of plants is :
a. Osmosis
b. Active transport
C.
Diffusion
b. The reason for my answer is because :
a. Concentration of cell sap is lower than that of soil water
b. Concentration of cell sap is higher than that of soil water
C. Movement of water molecules spending energy, opposing to diffusion
d. Water concentration of soil particles is lower than that of root hair cells
An experiment is conducted to determine the effect of classical music on the
growth rate of marigolds (flowers). Two groups of plants are grown from seed in
identical soil types, exposed to identical light conditions, and given the same
nutrients. Group A is in a quiet atmosphere. The plants in group B provided with
the same atmosphere, except that classical music is played for twelve hours daily
in this area. The scientist measures the plants in both groups each day and
records the data. In experimental design, Group A is known as.*
experimental group
control group
non-experimental group
O quasi-experimental group
