Summary Introduction
To describe:
The factors in the water and air that is necessary to be monitored while growing the lettuce hydroponically in the greenhouse.
Introduction:
The hydroponics is the type of culture, in which the plants are grown in water instead of the soil. The nutrients and water continually flow through the roots of the plants. This allows the regulation of the amount of nutrients supplied to the plants.

Which of the following is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from leaves?
Group of answer choices
Transpiration
Respiration
Evaporation
Photosynthesis
Perspiration
What force drives water into the leaves of a tree?
An important factor for plants is the amount of water lost for each molecule of carbon dioxide absorbed. How could the plant be harmed if it loses a lot of water for each carbon dioxide molecule, that is, if the ratio is high? Would this be more important for a plant in a rainy habitat or one in a desert?

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_forward
