What would enhance water uptake by a plant cell?(A) decreasing the Ψ of the surrounding solution(B) positive pressure on the surrounding solution(C) the loss of solutes from the cell(D) increasing the Ψ of the cytoplasm
Which is the primary function of the roots?
a.) reproduce
b.) supports the plant
c.) absorbs water and mineral salts from the soil
Use to answer
Household chemicals are sometimes discarded in ways that allow the chemicals to enter lakes and streams. These diluted chemicals may affect the growth of aquatic plants or terrestrial plants growing beside the water. A student hypothesized that a particular household chemical would have a negative effect on the photosynthetic rate of plants. She assumed that the chemical would not kill the plants.
Question: Unit C - Design an experiment to determine whether a household chemical affects the rate of photosynthesis in plants .
Your response should include
• a detailed procedure • identification of the controlled, manipulated, and responding variables
• an explanation of evidence that you will collect and how it will be interpreted to determine the effect the chemical had on rate of photosynthesis
