Chapter 37, Problem 14TYK
Using a technique called metagenomics, researchers found that
- a. all plant roots house endophytes.
- b. many plants exhibit some amount of heterotrophy when their roots take up and digest bacteria and yeasts.
- c. the “species” composition of bacterial communities vary the most between bacteria inside roots (endophytes) and soil bacteria in the rhizosphere.
- d. the composition of the soil (clayey or porous) does not affect the “species” composition of bacteria either inside or outside the rhizosphere.

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…
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.

Most of the improvement in agricultural crop yields has been through inputs: getting more fertilizer to the plant, decreasing weeds, spacing, reducing loss from pests and local environmental changes.

- An experiment is conducted to determine the effect of classical music on the growth rate of marigolds (flowers). Two groups of plants are grown from seed in identical soil types, exposed to identical light conditions, and given the same nutrients. Group A is in a quiet atmosphere. The plants in group B provided with the same atmosphere, except that classical music is played for twelve hours daily in this area. The scientist measures the plants in both groups each day and records the data. In experimental design, Group A is known as.* experimental group control group non-experimental group O quasi-experimental grouparrow_forwardThroughout history, spices have been used as preservatives and to cover up the smell or taste of food that is slightly spoiled.

You want to investigate the role that these variables play in plant growth. You decide to test the substrate and see if changing substrate mixes will affect plant growth. Match the following experimental components with their descriptions. Experimental Components: ( Experimental Variable, Dependent Variable, Control Condition, Independent Variabe, A Confounding Variable That Must Be Held Constant) 1. type of substrate used: 2. growth resulting from substrate type 3. amount of water needed in all plants 4. substrate that is changed during the experiment 5. substrate that is not changed during the experimentarrow_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.
