For both fertilizers, plant growth began to decrease when 1.5 kg of
fertilizer was given.
D)
Rhizobia are bacteria that live on the roots of some plants, such as legumes like pea plants. Rhizobia convert an element in the
atmosphere into ammonia. Identify and explain the type of relationship this represents.
A)
It is parasitism because the bacteria absorbs food from the pea plant.
It is commensalism because the bacteria and pea plant don't harm each
B)
other.
It is competition because the rhizobia and pea plant both need the limited
amount of available nitrogen.
C)
It is mutualism because the bacteria receives carbon from the pea plant,
D)
Eliminate

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. It was then discovered that the relative humidity in the room was very high and transpiration was affected. Explain the appearance of these symptoms in the positive control set-up in lieu of the importance of transpiration? How will thermoregulation of tomato plants be affected if transpiration will not occur?arrow_forward

Next in the pipeline is the production of calumpit juice, which is targeted for export to various countries. Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, a spoilage organism of concern in berry juices, has a D95oC = 1.0 minute in the new product. A.) If you inoculated 3.5x 104 cells to the juice, how long would it take to effect a 3-log reduction of the organism at 95oC? B.) How many cells will remain after four minutes of heating at the same temperature? C.) You found out that Geobacillus stearothermiphilus, another spore forming bacterium, can also spoil the calumpit juice. Thermal inactivation studies revealed a D95oC = 2.0 for G. stearothermophilus in the product. Which of the two spoilage bacteria is more heat resistant?
