- Part F - How to determine transpiration rates by the whole plant method 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.arrow_forwardDifferentiate the saturation concept from the limiting factor concept of plant response to the environment.arrow_forwardB) If you have a mesophyll cell in a leaf (a living, parenchyma cell in a leaf) with a slight positive turgor pressure (Yp = 0.01 MPa) and solutes (Ys = -3.0 MPa), and it is next to a xylem vessel element with very few solutes in the xylem sap (Ys = -0.01 MPa) but high physical tension (Yp = - 2.0 MPa), which way will water flow? a) from the mesophyll cell into the vessel element b) from the vessel element into the mesophyll cell c) neither direction. They are at equilibrium. Activa GoroSearrow_forward
- Imagine an experiment where I am testing the effects of salt on the growth of corn plants. I set up several treatments where some plants get no salt, some are watered with a 0.05% salt solution, and some are watered with a 0.1% salt solution. I use the same species of plants, the same soil, and the same total amounts of water in my experiment. Every other day I record the height of the plants in cm. What is the independent variable in my experiment? What is the dependent variable in my experiment? What is the control treatment in my experiment? What are three controlled variables in my experiment?arrow_forwardDiscuss 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…arrow_forwardWhen analyzing the data for the fan treatment, did the rate of transpiration increase by the same amount for all plants? What are three reasons why different species of plants transpire at different rates?arrow_forward
