Chapter 29.3, Problem 1TYK
Imagine a garden that has been planted with irises, dahlias, carnations and in which goldenrods also occur as weeds. Match each with the seasonal period during which blooming will occur.
1. iris (a long-day plant)
2. dahlia (a short-day plant) when nights are relatively
3. carnation (a day-neutral plant) short
4. goldenrod
- spring or early summer when nights are relatively short
- anytime that light amounts meet plant growth needs
- late summer, fall, or winter when days are short
- none of the above

- A team of researchers investigated the effects of phosphorous availability and light intensity on an angiosperm species. Seeds of the angiosperm were divided into four equal groups. Groups 1 and 2 were exposed to 200 pmol, and Groups 3 and 4 were exposed to 500 umol. Groups 2 and 4 also received a phosphorous (P) solution. After 20 days, all plants were weighed, and the average dry weight of each group was calculated. The results are in the table below. Group 1(200 pmol, Group 2(200 umol, Group 3 (500 umol, Group 4 (500 pmol no P) no P) +P) Average Dry weight (g) Describe the effects of light and phosphorous on the growth of the plants in this study.
