Question
Chapter 32, Problem 12TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factors that might cause the uneven results in the case of experiments carried out to determine the differences between the organic and conventional farming.
Introduction:
Organic farming is the farming method in which natural fertilizers are used and the farming process is carried out without damaging the soil. It is a sustainable form of agriculture. Conventional farming is the method in which the chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used in the farming. This method damages the soil by causing pollution and it is not a sustainable form of farming.

- Soft drinks are artificially carbonated, which is what causes them to fizz. Beer and sparkling wines are naturally carbonated. How does this natural carbonation occur?arrow_forwardA study in wheat fields showed that high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere impair the absorption of nitrate by plants. Consequently, the nutritional quality of these foods may decrease as the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reach estimates for the coming decades. In this context, the nutritional quality of the wheat grain will be modified primarily by reducing which element?arrow_forwardA well-written research question states the independent and dependent variables in the experiment.
