- Two groups of tomatoes were grown under laboratoryconditions, one with humus added to the soil and one acontrol without humus. The leaves of the plants grownwithout humus were yellowish (less green) compared withthose of the plants grown in humus-enriched soil. The bestexplanation is that(A) the healthy plants used the food in the decomposing leavesof the humus for energy to make chlorophyll.(B) the humus made the soil more loosely packed, so waterpenetrated more easily to the roots.(C) the humus contained minerals such as magnesium andiron needed for the synthesis of chlorophyll.(D) the heat released by the decomposing leaves of the humuscaused more rapid growth and chlorophyll synthesis.arrow_forwardWhat do you think is its main purpose of this picture?arrow_forwardIf a gardener picked a fertilizer with the following numbers on the package: 6-6-24, what would you assume they were growing?
