To determine: The plant’s roots that removed the most selenium.
Introduction: Soil is a thin layer of Earth’s crust and consists of inorganic minerals, gases, liquids, and organic matter. They are in large numbers where different types of organisms colonize in the soil. Almost all the essential nutrients, water, and minerals for the growth of plant are directly obtained from the soil.
To determine: What should be done to the plants after they have absorbed selenium.
