Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason for growing barley plants in growth mediums and not in soil.
Given:
The result of growing barley plants over three generations in the below-mentioned nickel concentrations is as follows:
A set of seeds out of the total harvest gathered from the experiment were grown in nickel-free conditions to test their germination.
Introduction:
Plant growth depends on micronutrients and macronutrients. These are essential nutrients without which plant development is impaired. Plants can be artificially grown in laboratories by simulating the plant growth conditions like controlling light and humidity.

Imagine you were testing how the presence/absence of soil bacteria affected plant growth. In this
experiment you had two treatments - one with soil bacteria present, the other with soil bacteria absent. To
determine how soil bacteria affected plant growth, you then measured plant height after 1 month. You find
that plants grow taller in the treatment with soil bacteria compared to the treatment with no soil bacteria.

The following experiment was carreid out at ILC Laboratories to measure the effect of different nutrient solutions on bean root growth. Three nutrient solutions were made:
1.) A solution containing all required nutrients
2.) A solution containing all required nutrients except nitrogen; and
3.) distilled water.
The results recorded for root length and leaf colour were as follows:
Solution 1.) 47 mm; deep green
Solution 2.) 17 mm; pale green-yellow
Solution 3.) 14 mm; pale green-yellow
a.) explain how the solution ranked in relation to the other two;
b.) state the evidence that supports your answer; and
c.) explain why the plant grew the way it did
The leaf explants cultured on a culture medium turned black and caused the medium turned to brown colour after 5 days of culture. Explain this phenomenon and suggest two ways to overcome this problem

O A. The experiment is invalid because she used the same type of plant in all the trials. The experiment is valid because all the factors except the experiment variable were kept constant.
