Chapter 37.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The effect of air on the growth rate of hydroponically grown plants.
Concept introduction: Hydroponics is the method to grow the plants using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent, without soil. In the hydroponically grown plants the root density is considerably very high than in most soil based plants. Hydroponic plants can develop a condition known as oxytropism in which roots avoid to grow in oxygen-deprived area, stagnant nutrient solutions, and overwatered hydroponic substrates.

Which of the following best explains why the plant in front of the fan lost more mass than the control plant in normal room conditions?
The leaves of the plant in front of the fan had the highest initial water potential and therefore lost the most water.
The control plant had lower initial water potential in the root area and therefore lost less water.
The control plant had a lower initial mass and so lost water at a decreased rate.
The fan rapidly moves water molecules away from the leaf surface, lowering the water potential.
Direction: Explain the following in paragraph form consists of at least five sentences
Stomates must be open for evaporation to occur. Going back to the last lesson, how plant transport and gas exchange happens?
