Question
Chapter 21, Problem 3PIT
Summary Introduction
To include:
Source, pressure flow soil, sink, and transpiration to the given map.
Introduction:
Soil is the uppermost layer of earth’s crust, which contains mineral as well as organic matter. A source is a photosynthetic part of the plant that produces sugar, and a sink is any plant part that receives the sugar. Plants lose water through transpiration. Pressure flow theory explains the phloem sap movement.

- Soil formation is influenced by which factors? How availability of nutrients can affect the quality of soil?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_forwardDraw a simple flow diagram or sketch to illustrate the flow path of water through a plant, from the point of uptake from the soil to transpiration and… (read in image below)arrow_forward
