You are an amateur gardener and are reading an article that explains that plants need only five basic factors for growth: sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and a substrate on which to grow (soil). 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 experiment
By 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 System
You hypothesise that plants will grow faster if they receive more fertiliser. Briefly explain how you would experimentally test this hypothesis by describing the experimental and control groups, independent-, dependent- and control variables

Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…arrow_forward
