Chapter 57.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The type of control after applying fertilizer to a bush, which increases spider density on the bush.
Introduction: Bottom down and top-down controls are two control measures of a food web or chain. These control measures are applied in the food chain to regulate the number of species. If one of them gets affected, then the related ones also have an impact.

- A researcher was interested in finding out whether talking to plants was related to plant growth. To test this idea she used 20 plants where all 20 plants had the same amount of food, water and sunlight. She randomly assigned the 20 plants to 1 of 2 groups: she talked to 10 of the plants for 1 minute/day; she talked to the other 10 plants 10 minutes/day. Every day for one month the researcher measured the height of the plants. What is the Independent variable and the Dependent variable in the example above?arrow_forwardYou're growing cabbage and have noticed your plants have lots of insects and disease.

- Intraspecific competition is a competition between members of the same species and is commonly observed in crop plants. Table 6.2 shows the results of a greenhouse experiment which examined the effects of density on the germination and growth of barley. Plants were grown for two weeks in 10- cm diameter pots kept in identical environmental conditions and watered regularly. At the end of the experiment the plants were cropped by cutting the stems at the soil surface. Explain why knowledge of the effects in density is important to the crop farmer.arrow_forwardMina is testing different types of heat lamps to determine which type is most effective for growing strawberry bushes. She purchases two different types of lamps from a local store. Mina applies brand A to one area of the yard and brand B to another area of the yard, both of which receive full sunlight. She waters the area with brand B daily; she waters the area with brand A every other day. At the end of the study, Mina concludes brand B is more effective in growing strawberry bushes. Mina's conclusion valid? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardDoes apiculture offer multiple advantages to farmers? List its advantages, if it is located near a place of commercial flower cultivation.
