Which of the following is true about Liebig's Law of the Minimum? * The growth of a plant is affected by one limiting factor at one time. The growth of a plant is affected by multiple limiting factors at one time. The growth of a plant is not affected by multiple limiting factors at one time. The growth of the plant is not affected by one limiting factor at one time. According the Shelford's Law of Tolerance, the organisms wide environmental factor tolerance limit show * narrow distribution with low population size narrow distribution with high population size wide distribution with high populations size wide distribution with low population size If you are having a fever, you are in your zone of optimal tolerance zone of intolerance zone of physiological stress

Imagine an experiment where I am testing the effects of salt on the growth of corn plants. I set up several treatments where some plants get no salt, some are watered with a 0.05% salt solution, and some are watered with a 0.1% salt solution. I use the same species of plants, the same soil, and the same total amounts of water in my experiment. Every other day I record the height of the plants in cm. What is the independent variable in my experiment? What is the dependent variable in my experiment? What is the control treatment in my experiment? What are three controlled variables in my experiment?
Discuss the following prompt: In this experiment, we are looking to see how much different types of soil will affect the time it takes for pinto Bean seedlings to germinate out of the ground. The scientific name of a pinto bean is Phaseolus vulgaris. Pinto beans are kind of beans people usually eating, and people commonly use pinto beans in many dishes, such as rice and pasta. Planting pinto beans need many necessary factors, however, I think the type of soil is the most important one to grow it faster. Pinto beans are kind of plants can grow in dark and dry area, so even in dark (less light), they can grow as well. The goal is to determine that soils have different characteristics that can help or hurt plant growth. In order to discover the effects soils have on plant growth, three different soil samples will be used in a controlled study. The samples will vary in consistency, texture, color, location, moisture, and contact with human life to ensure that the samples are…

Experiments usually have several controlled variables. These are variables that must be kept constant in all parts of an experiment. For example, if an experiment is testing the effect of sunlight on the growth rate of 5 seeds, the only variable that should change should be the amount of sunlight. All other variables should remain the same to ensure that sunlight is the only aspect affecting the results. The other variables, such as soil type, amount of water, type/amount of fertilizer, are the controlled variables. Looking back at the simulation experiment on the meteorite, describe two variables that should have been controlled.
What is the importance of knowing the following in crop production? Give a specific crop example. a. Mode of reproduction b. Growth habit c. Life cycle
Suppose a scientist measures sunflower height six months after groups of sunflowers were planted with and without phosphorus in order to test the effect of phosphorus on sunflower growth. All flowers were grown in a nitrogen-abundant environment. Which of the following would be considered a standardized variable? A. The duration of plant growth, B. The presence or absence of nitrogen, C. The presence or absence of phosphorus, D. None of the choices are correct
For each of the following plant growth indices provide a definition, a formula and an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each for assessing plant growth:- Absolute growth rate- Relative growth rate - Net assimilation rate- Specific leaf area
Intraspecific competition is a competition between members of the same species and is commonly observed in crop plants. Table 6.2 shows the results of a greenhouse experiment which examined the effects of density on the germination and growth of barley. Plants were grown for two weeks in 10- cm diameter pots kept in identical environmental conditions and watered regularly. At the end of the experiment the plants were cropped by cutting the stems at the soil surface. Based from the given table and graph, discuss the data and the relationship of the two factors (Mean wet biomass of plants (g) and Number of plants that germinated). Then, what is the effect of density to the Mean wet biomass of plants?
Which three soil colours would suggest the following conditions in the soil 1. Poor drainage 2. Reduced compounds of manganese 3. Well drained and aeration soil

Table 6.2 shows the results of a greenhouse experiment which examined the effects of density on the germination and growth of barley. Plants were grown for two weeks in 10- cm diameter pots kept in identical environmental conditions and watered regularly. At the end of the experiment the plants were cropped by cutting the stems at the soil surface. In the given context, can you explain thoroughly the meaning of plant density that this passage is talking about?
What can be concluded from the graph and the description of the experiment? A) fertilizer b is more expensive than fertilizer a B) fertilizer a has a slower growth rate effect on the plants compared to fertilizer b C) plants using fertilizer a were located further away from windows where sunlight was present D) during a four week period, the plants with fertilizer b received more water than the plants with fertilizer a
