To determine: The plant’s roots that removed the most selenium.
Introduction: Soil is a thin layer of Earth’s crust and consists of inorganic minerals, gases, liquids, and organic matter. They are in large numbers where different types of organisms colonize in the soil. Almost all the essential nutrients, water, and minerals for the growth of plant are directly obtained from the soil.
To determine: What should be done to the plants after they have absorbed selenium.

- Phytoremediation is the utilization of plants in the clean up of a polluted area. Are Indian Mustard, Willow, Poplar Tree examples of plants utilized in phytoremediation?arrow_forwardGrowers often wrap potted plants in plastic sleeves prior to shipping. If plants remain in these sleeves too long, their leaves curl and fall off. Imagine you are working at a garden center and have been asked to make a presentation to a local garden club.Question: Explain the processes that may cause the leaves to drop and fall.arrow_forwardConsidering the concepts of hydraulic lifting and water potential, which of the following statements is like not true about the figure/illustration below? * DRY DRY WET The water generally moves from wet soil patches to dry soil patches because the latter have lower water potential. A deep-rooted plant can send water to dry soil patches with lower water potential O while simultaneously absorbing water from deep soil layers with higher water potential. The plant has higher water potential than the wet soil patches, but lower water potential than the dry soil patches. The plant has lower water potential than the wet soil patches, but relatively higher water potential than the dry soil patches.arrow_forward
- Choose the statements that apply to transpiration in the cohesion-tension theory. (Check all that apply) Check All That Apply The H-bonds in water allow for cohesion. Water pressure builds in roots to drive water up the plant. Exposed water in leaves evaporates into drier air. Water forms a continuous stream from leaf into the root. In addition to water, heat is lost cooling the plant during transpiration.arrow_forwardDescribe how water molecules move into the plant from the soil. Give an example that includes the concept of water potential.arrow_forwardIf you have an orchard having a soil with high infiltration rate then which irrigation method you will adopt for better plant growth and profit maximization?arrow_forward
- (a) Younger plant parts/materials decompose faster compared to older more lignified plant parts/materials; (b) Materials with narrow C:N ratio will decompose more easily compared to materials with wider C:N ratio. A. If statement A is true B. if statement B is true C. both statement A and B are true D. statement A nor B are truearrow_forwardPhytoremediation is the utilization of plants in the clean up of a polluted area. In a maximum of four sentences, using a flow chart for illustration, outline the process of phytoremediation.arrow_forwardBy which thing the difference in concentration of ions between roots and soil is eliminated?arrow_forward
- Draw 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_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT?Aquaporins:a. play an active role in the regulation of water movement in the xylem during mild droughtb. are proteins embedded in the cell walls that transport waterc. play an active role in the regulation of water movement outside the xylem during mild droughtd. are proteins embedded in the mesophyll and bundle sheath apoplast that transport waterarrow_forwardPhytoremediation is the utilization of plants in the clean up of a polluted area. In a maximum of four sentences, using a flow chart for illustration, outline the process of phytoremediation. Please include a picture of the flow chart.arrow_forward
