Chapter 38, Problem 1COQ
Summary Introduction
To predict: The features of the crop plants that need to be considered before recommending to the farmers in appropriate climate regions.
Introduction: The vegetation of an area depends upon the climate and the amount of rainfall in that area. The areas receiving high rainfall have dense vegetation of trees and therefore certain crops like rice that require an abundance of water are suited for growing.

How can tissue culture techniques be used to study the effects of environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, on the growth and development of plant cells and tissues, and how can this knowledge be applied to improve crop yields and plant resistance to abiotic stress?
As scientists have developed more productive crop varieties, farmers have switched from growing many traditional varieties to new high-yield varieties. For example, in India, the 10,000 varieties of rice once grown have been reduced to 10 major ones for most of the rice crop.
Why is this practice of reducing the varieties of a crop dangerous?
Question options:
It makes the overall crop more susceptible to pests and/or disease.
It reduces the variety of crops available for human diets.
it requires a larger investment than small farmers can make
it could reduce or cause the extinction of some predatory insects
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…

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_forwardWhy do pasture grasses continue growing despite being grazed upon by animals and why do lawn grasses continue growing despite being trimmed regularly? *arrow_forward

- The data that is attached below was collected during a lettuce seed ecotoxicity assay. Lettuce seed assays are used to compare the ecotoxicity of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol by these alcohols' effects on germination rate and root elongination. Using the attached data, help answer which alcohol seems to be the most toxic to lettuce seeds. Why or why not would your results be expected? What does this information tell you about using ecotoxicity data to estimate human toxicity?arrow_forwardLolita performed the following experiment to study the effects of different types of soil on the rate of growth of plants: 1) planted four saplings of the same kind in pots filled with different types of soil Plant 1: sand Plant 2: loam Plant 3: clay Plant 4: silt 2) watered the plants regularly with equal amounts of water 3) made an accurate record of the heights of each plant once a week for 6 weeks Which of these describes the validity of Lolita's experiment? O A. The experiment is invalid because she used the same type of plant in all the trials. The experiment is valid because all the factors except the experiment variable were kept constant.

- 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.
