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.

Discuss the following prompt:
In this experiment, we are looking to see how much different types of soil will affect the time it takes for pinto Bean seedlings to germinate out of the ground. The scientific name of a pinto bean is Phaseolus vulgaris. Pinto beans are kind of beans people usually eating, and people commonly use pinto beans in many dishes, such as rice and pasta. Planting pinto beans need many necessary factors, however, I think the type of soil is the most important one to grow it faster. Pinto beans are kind of plants can grow in dark and dry area, so even in dark (less light), they can grow as well. The goal is to determine that soils have different characteristics that can help or hurt plant growth.
In order to discover the effects soils have on plant growth, three different soil samples will be used in a controlled study. The samples will vary in consistency, texture, color, location, moisture, and contact with human life to ensure that the samples are…

Make a simple HAND DRAWN sketch or flow diagram toillustrate the flow path of water through a plant, from the point of uptake from the soil totranspiration from the leaves. Ensure that you incorporate the following aspects in your sketch / diagram:• Water movement from the soil into the root, to the vascular tissues and the rest of theplant and into the atmosphere.• Label all the organs, tissues and structures involved in water uptake and transport.• Mention the mode of water movement (e.g. diffusion, osmosis, mass flow) whereapplicable along the symplastic and apoplastic pathways of water uptake and transport

- It is June in Fresno and the officials at the water district have just reduced your irrigation ration by 26%. In the field, you determine that the water potential in your soil is -1.68 MPa while the water potential of your crop is -1.62 MPa. Question A. Is your crop able to take up water from the soil? Explain. Question B. It is now late August and your soil water potential is -2.10 MPa, fortunately, you have been granted one magic wish in altering the physiology of your crop to increase its ability to take up water, however, you must choose from one of the options below. Fill in the values denoted by the ? as needed, and select the option that will cause the greatest water uptake by your crop. Option Vs (MPa) Vp (MPa) Vw (MPa) -1.90 0.00 -2.59 +0.13 -2.4 -2.09 -2.05 -2.28 +0.17 4.arrow_forwardSome seeds (tomato, for example) had been germinated and the seedling grew for 2 weeks in soil, where the soil water potential was maintained at -0.2 bars. The plants were then divided into 5 groups and each group subjected to a different soil water potential as follows: Group 1: 0 bars Group 2: -0.03 bars Group 3: -0.2 bars Group 4: -3.0 bars Group 5: -5.0 bars At the end of three weeks at these various soil water potentials, the plants that would have made the least growth would be expected in which group? Question 11 options: Group 3 Group 1 Group 2 Group 4 Group 5arrow_forwardExplain the three different ways water is moved from the soil, through the cortex, and then forced into to the stele of a root. Next, explain how water is moved from the roots up to the leaves.arrow_forward
- College students have conducted an experiment to determine the deficiency symptoms of tomato plants that is placed in a hydroponic solution. Each bottle out of the six bottles except for the positive control has lacked a certain micronutrient. In the positive control, all the nutrients were provided. However, the control setup showed symptoms of micronutrient deficiency unexpectedly. College students later found out that the room has a very high relative humidity and the transpiration was affected. Theoretically, how will the thermoregulation of tomato plants be affected of transpiration will not occur?arrow_forwardImagine an experiment where I am testing the effects of salt on the growth of corn plants. I set up several treatments where some plants get no salt, some are watered with a 0.05% salt solution, and some are watered with a 0.1% salt solution. I use the same species of plants, the same soil, and the same total amounts of water in my experiment. Every other day I record the height of the plants in cm. What is the independent variable in my experiment? What is the dependent variable in my experiment? What is the control treatment in my experiment? What are three controlled variables in my experiment?arrow_forwardDraw a simple flow diagram or sketch to illustrate the flow path of water through a plant, from the point of uptake from the soil to transpiration and… (read in image below)arrow_forward
- Imagine you were testing how the presence/absence of soil bacteria affected plant growth. In this experiment you had two treatments - one with soil bacteria present, the other with soil bacteria absent. To determine how soil bacteria affected plant growth, you then measured plant height after 1 month. You find that plants grow taller in the treatment with soil bacteria compared to the treatment with no soil bacteria. Which graph or graphs would be most appropriate for portraying the results from your experiment? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY. Scatter plot Pie chart Bar graph Box plot Line grapharrow_forwardYou are an amateur gardener and are reading an article that explains that plants need only five basic factors for growth: sunlight, water, air, nutrients, and a substrate on which to grow (soil). You want to investigate the role that these variables play in plant growth. You decide to test the substrate and see if changing substrate mixes will affect plant growth. Match the following experimental components with their descriptions. Experimental Components: ( Experimental Variable, Dependent Variable, Control Condition, Independent Variabe, A Confounding Variable That Must Be Held Constant) 1. type of substrate used: 2. growth resulting from substrate type 3. amount of water needed in all plants 4. substrate that is changed during the experiment 5. substrate that is not changed during the experimentarrow_forwardDescribe how the water potential of a leaf changes throughout the course of a 24-hour period. What is driving this change? How does the water potential of this leaf compare to the water potential of a root in the same plant during the same period? How does it compare to the soil underneath the plant? Please fast and properly explain.arrow_forward
- Considering the concepts of hydraulic lifting and water potential, which of the following statements is like not true about the figure/illustration below? * DRY DRY WET The water generally moves from wet soil patches to dry soil patches because the latter have lower water potential. A deep-rooted plant can send water to dry soil patches with lower water potential O while simultaneously absorbing water from deep soil layers with higher water potential. The plant has higher water potential than the wet soil patches, but lower water potential than the dry soil patches. The plant has lower water potential than the wet soil patches, but relatively higher water potential than the dry soil patches.arrow_forwardList the types of solar collectors suitable to dry the fruits and fish? And Draw and explain its working operation?arrow_forwardA farmer has noticed that his soybean plants produce more beans in some years than others. 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
