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…

Growers often wrap potted plants in plastic sleeves prior to shipping. If plants remain in these sleeves too long, their leaves curl and fall off. Imagine you are working at a garden center and have been asked to make a presentation to a local garden club.Question: Explain the processes that may cause the leaves to drop and fall.

- Some 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?

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.

In order to follow the scientific method, your description should start with an observation and be followed by: a testable hypothesis, an outline of the experiment that will test the hypothesis, a description of the type of data that will be collected, and a possible conclusion that could likely be made after completing the experiment and analyzing the data.arrow_forward
- A scientist is studying the effect a new fertilizer has on root growth on bean seedlings. Three groups of plants are grown in the same location in a greenhouse, each receiving the same amount of sunlight and water every day. The scientist measures the length of the roots for each plant every day. The scientist then calculates the mean for each group for five days. The results are shown in the following table. Fertilizer Experiment Data Table Which are the controlled variables in this experiment? Select all that apply.

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_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_forwardConsidering 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_forwardEXPERIMENT : GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS OF PHOSPHORUS IN PLANT FOOD I want at lest 10 Precautions for this experimentarrow_forward
- You 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_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.
