Question
Chapter 35, Problem 15TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The hypothesis which will determine the reason for the chlorotic leaves and stunted growth of a plant in a garden, despite the use of fertilizer containing a mixture of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous.
Introduction:
Plant nutrition is defined as the study of chemical elements and compounds, essential for the plant growth and
The absence of it makes the plant unable to complete a normal life cycle.
The element makes a part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite.
Plants generally require 17 essential elements, 9 among them are macronutrients which are required and incorporate in relatively large amounts in plant tissues. The other category of minerals is known as micronutrients, as plant require them in trace amounts.

State that during photosynthesis green plants produce food in the form of glucose. Most of the glucose is converted to starch and stored in the leaves and other parts of the plants, such as the stem and roots?
what is starch?
what are the uses of starch on the body?
provide a conclusion please
How do all organisms other than plants gain their energy?
A plant uses 54 ATP to build one glucose molecule, but only gets 36 ATP when it breaks the sugar down for energy. Why doesn't the plant run into an energy shortage?

- As scientists research and develop biofuels, they are faced with many tradeoffs. A plant's usefulness for biofuels depends on how much energy can be collected from the plant matter. In addition, growing plants on a large scale requires energy—such as the gasoline and power needed to run tractors and other harvesting equipment or the energy needed to create and distribute fertilizers and pesticides. An efficient biofuel would maximize the ratio of energy output to energy input. The following graph illustrates the results of a 10-year study analyzing three different crops used in biofuel production. The data show how much energy was required to grow each crop on 1 hectare of land (energy input) and how much energy was recovered from the total crop on each hectare of land (energy output). A hectare is a measurement of an area of land and is roughly the same as 2.5 acres. What was the estimated energy input of the grass? A. 2 kcal × 106 B. 4 kcal × 106 C. 8 kcal…arrow_forwardAs scientists research and develop biofuels, they are faced with many tradeoffs.

The herbaceous material is approximately 20% dry matter(DM) and has an energy content of 10MJ. (kg DM^-1). Of the total energy ingested per day, 25% is excreted as undigested material. Of the 75% that is digested, 80% is lost to metabolic waste products and heat. The remaining 20% is converted to body tissue. How many MJ are converted to tissue on daily basis? Calculate the percentage of energy consumed that is converted to body tissue. Draw a schematic of energy balance.arrow_forward
