Question
Explain why the student added glucose solution to each Petri dish.
A student investigated the effects of indoleacetic acid (IAA) on the growth of
oat seedlings (young plants).
The student:
• removed the shoot tip from each seedling and cut out a 10 mm length of shoot
• placed 10 lengths of shoot into each of 5 Petri dishes
• added to each Petri dish an identical volume of 5% glucose solution
• added to each Petri dish 40 cm of a different concentration of IAA solution
• left the Petri dishes at 20 °C in the dark with their lids on for 5 days
• removed the shoots after 5 days and measured them
• determined the mean change in length of shoot at each concentration of IAA.
Table 1 shows her results.
