Why? (See Concept 10.4.)arrow_forwardSelect all that are true regarding soil a. the most abundant element of soil is inorganic mater b. plants passively acquire cations by using ATP to pump H+ into the soil c. soil plays key roles in water regulation and buffering of pollutants d. soil is an essential source of carbon for plants e. plants use H+ from photosynthesis to acquire cations f. anions are unbound in the soil and freely travel into plant roots with water g. cation exchange is required because cations are bound to negatively charged soil particles h. H+ works well for the cation exchange because it is a small molecule with a strong charge 2. Select all that apply to plant nutrition a. green manure can restore minerals to soil but is to expensive for farmers to use b. mineral deficiencies cause symptoms like chlorosis, a browning and death of plant tissue c. fertilizers typically contain nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus,…arrow_forward

- SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • INTERPRET THE DATA A Minnesotagardener notes that the plants immediately bordering a walkwayare stunted compared with those farther away. Suspectingthat the soil near the walkway may be contaminated from saltadded to the walkway in winter, the gardener tests the soil. Thecomposition of the soil near the walkway is identical to thatfarther away except that it contains an additional 50 mM NaCl.Assuming that the NaCl is completely ionized, calculate howmuch it will lower the solute potential of the soil at 20°C usingthe solute potential equation:ΨS = -iCRTwhere i is the ionization constant (2 for NaCl), C is themolar concentration (in mol/L), R is the pressure constant[R = 0.00831 (L · MPa)/(mol · K)], and T is the temperature inKelvin (273 + °C).How would this change in the solute potential of the soilaffect the water potential of the soil? In what way would thechange in the water potential of the soil affect the movementof water in or out of the roots?arrow_forwardi. Based on Figure 2, identify the structure that regulates the movement of water and minerals towards the xylem in the root. ii. Name structure of the cell membrane allows it to act as a selective barrier? iii. Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurred.arrow_forwardWHAT IF? If a plant species has vertically orientedleaves, would you expect its mesophyll to be divided intospongy and palisade layers? Explain.arrow_forward
