Chapter 3, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To design: A controlled experiment to test the hypothesis that acidification of water caused by acid rain would inhibit the growth of Elodea, a freshwater plant.
Introduction:
Acid rain includes the emissions when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide react with water to form acids in the atmosphere. They form a layer on the leaf tissues of the plants. This inhibits

It is common for bogs to have a pH of 3, why does this make them nutrient poor?
1. Low pH reduces the solubility of many nutrients.
2. Low pH increases nutrient binding to organic matter.
3. Low pH prevents the growth of the microorganisms responsible for the breakdown of organic matter.
4. Low pH reduces cation exchange.
Why is it that saltwater cannot be used to irrigate plants?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
1) Fertilizer is frequently used in agriculture to increase growth of crops. However, when it rains, excess fertilizer runs off into the local water sources.
How does this fertilizer affect aquatic ecosystems?
increased nutrients kill algae, removing food source for fish
increases growth of algae above natural levels
increased decomposition of algae removes oxygen from water
fish grow larger due to increased nutrients

- A farmer has noticed that his soybean plants produce more beans in some years than others. He claims to always apply the same amount of fertilizer to the plants but he suspects the difference in crop yield may have something to do with the amount of water the crops receive. The farmer has observed that the soybeans on his farm usually receive between 0 to 0.5 inches of water per day, but he is unsure of the optimal amount of water with which to irrigate. Question: state a research question that will directly address the farmer’s problem.arrow_forwardAn experiment tested the hypothesis that soil pH affects the color of flowers produced by plants. A researcher measured the pH of the soil beneath 1,000 hydrangea plants naturally occurring outside, in a park, and recorded the colors of the flowers on each plant. The researcher found that when the soil pH was about 5.0, hydrangeas produced 99% blue flowers, and when the soil pH was around 7.0, the plants produced 98% red flowers. part a: Which of the following would be an abiotic factor in the plants’ environment? Group of answer choices A. daylength B. pollinators C. insects that eat the plants D. flowers E. birds part b: Did the researcher show that soil pH caused the color of the flowers? Group of answer choices A. Yes, because the researcher included 1,000 plants in the study. B. Yes, because the results very strongly showed the relationship between flower color and soil pH. C.
