You are part of a desert plant research team trying to discover crops that will be productive in arid climates. You discover a plant that exhibits multiple drought responses. What can you conclude about the molecules responsible for these responses? O They alter the amount of energy available to the plant. O They respond to air temperature changes. O They can reset the biological clock. O They are modified by changes in moisture.

How does acid rain lead to a reduction in the amount of plant nutrients available in soil? O Cation exchange leads to covalent bonding of nutrients on soil particles, making them unavailable to plants. O Nutrient cations (like K*, Ca++ etc) bind in place of protons released by soil particles, making the nutrients unavailable and the soil water more acidic. O Cations exchange places with anions during cation exchange, which confuses roots and turns LATS into HATS, after which the endodermis generates a caspian endothelium O During acid rain nutrients leach away after cation exchange takes place
