Jim hasn't been having success in growing strawberry plants for the past few years, so he got his soil checked for soil conditions. He received information that the soil was too acidic. He wanted to check if the acidity of the soll was the reason for the unsuccessful growth of strawberry plants. He added lime (adding lime neutralizes acidic soils) to half of his garden. He did not add any lime to the other half of the garden and planted strawberries in his garden. He found that he had juicy strawberry bunches on the side of the garden where lime was added. 1. What is the observation of this experiment? a) Jim does not know how to grow strawberries Strawberries do not grow on plants b) c) There is some problem with the soil d) Jim does not like strawberries 2. What is the control group in the experiment? a) Strawberries grown in the soil manipulated with lime b) Strawberries grown in the soil with no lime added c) Jim, who added lime to the soil d) Strawberries that were not growing in Jim's garden 3. What is the experimental group in this experiment? a) Strawberries grown in the soil manipulated with lime b) Strawberries grown in the soil with no lime added

About 200 years ago, Jan Baptista van Helmont wanted to know where growing plants get the materials necessary for increases in size. He planted a tree seedling weighing 2.2 kilograms (5 pounds) in a barrel filled with 90 kilograms (200 pounds) of soil and then watered the tree regularly. After five years, the tree had gained almost 75 kilograms (164 pounds), and the soil's weight was unchanged. He incorrectly concluded that the tree had gained all of its additional weight by absorbing water. How did the tree really gain most of its weight?

You are interested in determining the amount of fertilizer your lavender plants need to increase their growth. You get 5 pots of plain soil. You transplant one lavender plant into each pot and measure the height of the plant. You label each pot with letters A-E. A does not get any fertilizer, pot B gets 2mg of fertilizer, pot B gets 4 mg of fertilizer, pot C gets 6 mg of fertilizer, pot D gets 8 mg of fertilizer, and pot E gets 10 mg of fertilizer. For one month you water the plants the same amount and each plant receives the same amount of light. After one month you measure the plants again. The results of the experiment are below. A. Write a testable hypothesis for this experiment. B. Write a prediction based on your hypothesis. C. What is the dependent variable? D. What is the independent variable? E. Do the results support or refute your hypothesis? Results Pot Initial Measurement (cm) Final Measurement (cm) A 5.2…

After a few weeks, you notice that instead of growing tall like the otherplants, the plant with the broken tip has grown denser with thicker lateral shootsthan the other plants. Question: Explain what signal transduction pathway has been impacted by the removalof the growing tip of this tomato plant and contrast this with what ishappening in the normal growing tomato plants (10 facts).
