If you had nailed an object to a young tree at a height of four feet off the ground and then returned after the tree had grown for several years, the object would still be four feet off the ground. Why has the object not moved further from the ground as the tree grew?

- Stomata are pores on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gaseous exchange. The numbers below shows the density of stomata on the leaf surfaces of three species of plants. Based on this information, which statement is incorrect? Stomata Density: Elodea (upper epidermis) = 0, (lower epidermis) = 0, Water Lily (upper) = 420, (lower) = 0, Black Walnut (upper) = 0, (lower) = 465 a) Since Elodea does not have any stomata, it does not carry out photosynthesis. b) In Elodea’s aquatic environment, stomata are not used to control gas exchange. c) Since black walnut trees thrive on land, stomata are located on lower surface to decrease the amount of water lost in the heat of the sun. d) Since water lilies live on the surface of water, transpiration occurs from the upper epidermis because that is where it is in contact with air.arrow_forwardPlant roots develop differently from plant shoots during primary growth. Explain: How is the formation of lateral roots different from making new branches on shoots? Why don't roots and shoots generate new primary growth the same way?arrow_forwardIf the shoot apical meristem gets broken off due to bad weather or damage, what type of tree growth you expect to observe in the immediate future? The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.arrow_forward
- The meristems of plants continue to grow throughout their lifetime. This is known as inde- terminate growth. Imagine a 100-year old tree, with active meristems producing new buds. leaves, and stems each year. Compare and contrast this with the growth pattern of humans: 100-year old tree growth pattern: Human growth ttern: Infancy 0-12 months Toddarrow_forwardIn a germinating seed, the downward growth of roots and upward growth of stems are the plant’s responses to gravity. Which statement best describes this phenomenon? * downward growth of roots – positive response to gravity ; upward growth of stems – negative response to gravity downward growth of roots – negative response to gravity ; upward growth of stems – positive response to gravity downward growth of roots – positive response to gravity ; upward growth of stems – positive response to gravity No answer downward growth of roots – negative response to gravity; upward growth of stems – negative response to gravityarrow_forwardWhat are the limits to tree height and why?arrow_forward
- Describe and explain the results shown in Table 1 and suggest how the results might have differed if lengths of root had been used.arrow_forwardJenny wanted to plant sunflowers, but wasn't sure of the best place to plant them on her property - so she decided to investigate! Jenny planted 6 sunflowers where they would get sun all day, 6 where they would get some sun and some shade, and 6 where they would be in total shade all day. Jenny watered all of the sunflowers at the same time of day with the same amount of water. After 3 months Jenny measured how tall the sunflowers in each location were. What is the hypothesis that Jenny was testing? Choose all that apply. Question options: A Amount of water affects plant growth B Plant growth is affected by light exposure C Plant growth is affected by the time of day of watering D Amount of light affects plant growth because light is required for photosynthesisarrow_forwardWhat is the habit growth of potato, onion, turnip, carrots, and ginger?arrow_forward

He planted a tree seedling weighing 2.2 kilograms (5 pounds) in a barrel filled with 90 kilograms (200 pounds) of soil and then watered the tree regularly. After 5 years, the tree had gained almost 75 kilograms (164 pounds), and the soils weight was unchanged. He incorrectly concluded that the tree had gained all of its additional weight by absorbing water. How did the tree really gain most of its weight?arrow_forward
