Question
Chapter 8, Problem 45A
Summary Introduction
To ascertain:
The effect of cadmium on leaf size, chlorophyll content and rate of photosynthesis.
Introduction:
Cadmium is a heavy metal that is toxic to humans, plants and animals. It is present as a contaminant in soil. The given graph shows the effect of cadmium on the size of a leaf, chlorophyll content and rate of photosynthesis.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 45A
Cadmium has a negative effect on leaf size, chlorophyll content and rate of photosynthesis.
Explanation of Solution
According to the given data, as the concentration of cadmium increases the chlorophyll content in the leaf decreases sharply at first and then becomes almost constant. The size of the leaf also decreases sharply. The rate of photosynthesis, as a result of a decline in chlorophyll content and leaf size, is also hampered. It too decreases with an increase in cadmium concentration in soil.

The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
