Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 2GFO
In the last paragraph of the chapter, we suggest taking a gardener’s approach—working with natural processes and having a desire to understand—in all of our interactions with the natural world. Describe how this approach could be applied to a current issue concerning human modification of nature. Do you agree that it might be helpful to “think like a gardener,” or do you see disadvantages of this attitude as well?

A team of researchers is interested in testing the amount of oxygen gas (O2) produced when the same species of plant is exposed to different colors of visible light. The research team has developed a hypothesis to test and designed experimental conditions to run.
They have submitted the work to you for feedback and approval. Your job is to provide feedback concerning both the hypothesis and the experimental design. This will enable them to make the necessary changes to obtain approval for their research.
The Team’s Hypothesis:
The levels of oxygen gas will be higher for plants exposed to visible red light.
How would you improve the hypothesis while also putting it into a proper hypothesis with an IF and THEN statement?
emphasized how plastic and adaptable plants are in their environment. Write an essay touching on this concept.
The first paragraph should be broad and discuss why plants must be more adaptable to their environment compared to other organisms, such as animals. Discuss if adaptation is or is not genetically determined and/or heritable.
The second paragraph should provide a specific examples of how plants have adapted to stress. This portion needs to be in depth, and discuss both an abiotic and biotic stress.
Geographer, historian, and author Jared Diamond (1987) once referred to agriculture as "the worst mistake in the history of the human race." Given what you have learned about the health consequences of the domestication of plants and animals for humans, how would you respond to his statement?

They have come out half an hour ago, with all caution, when the sun was peeking over the peaks. Little by little they have gained confidence; lying in the most comical postures they have been nibbling, only to end up chasing each other openly over the fresh grass that grows before the black hole of the cave. Suddenly the five foxes at the same time rush towards their fort. Almost at the same moment I smell a growing buzzing behind my head, like that produced by a flock of pigeons flying low through an oak grove. First I see a huge shadow, exactly in front of the peephole of my observatory. A brown mass is mistaken for it. It is the royal eagle.

- Connor and Miguel want to investigate if the type of fertilizer changes the color of their hydrangea flowers. They select 10 hydrangea bushes and plant them in the same yard with the same type of soil. Every bush gets 3 cups of fertilizer, but each receiving a different brand. One bush gets no fertilizer. All bushes receive morning sunlight and no afternoon sunlight. All bushes are watered the same amount every other morning. After four weeks, the boys observe the color of the blooms on each bush.

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_forwardhow can one distinguish between western medicine and medicine traditionally used in buddihsim by shelly Dhawanarrow_forward
