- Enumerate at least three (3) importance of nutrients. Differentiate macronutrients and micronutrients. Provide three (3) examples of each. Provide a chemical test to detect the presence of the following: a.) carbohydrates b.) proteins c.) fats d.) calciumarrow_forwardFor an element to be regarded as essential, all of the following criteria must be met, except: a. No other element can perform the function. b. The element is directly involved in plant nutrition. c. The element is inorganic. d. The plant cannot complete its lifecycle without the element.arrow_forwardAnna conducted an experiment that aimed to determine the deficiency symptoms of tomato plants placed in a hydroponic solution. Six bottles were prepared, and each bottle, except for the positive control, lacked a certain micronutrient. In the positive control, all nutrients were provided. Unexpectedly, the control setup still showed symptoms of micronutrient deficiency. Students later on found out that the relative humidity in the room was very high and transpiration was affected. 1.Explain the appearance of these symptoms in the positive control set-up in lieu of the importance of transpiration? 2.Theoretically, how will thermoregulation of tomato plants be affected if transpiration will not occur 3. Discuss internal factors that could affect the rate of transpiration of the tomato plant.arrow_forward
- (a) Under acidic conditions, all of the plant micronutrients become more available; (b) Mo availability increases as pH increase * A if a is correct B if b is correct C if both statements are correct D if neither statement a nor b are truearrow_forward(a) Define biofuel. (b) Describe three sources of biomass.arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1.Insufficient dissolved oxygen is necessary for the life of fish and other aquatic organisms. As aquatic photosynthesis is light dependent, the dissolved oxygen produced will peak during daylight hours and decline at night. 2. The potability or “drinkability” of tap water varies from place to place. The distillation process ensures that contaminants are left in the boiling vessel, which results in a cleaner and more pure water in the collection vessel. 3. The stable form of oxygen in the Winkler Titration Method in determining the dissolved oxygen in water was magnesium dioxide. The free iodine in the Winkler Titration Method turned the solution into a red color. 4. Tap water is more pure than distilled water. The purity and cleanliness of distilled water remains constant no matter where you get it…arrow_forward

It is second only to Nitrogen as to the amount used by plants. List 3 functions in organisms (plants & animals).arrow_forwardcompare and contrast the nutrient procurement and processing in plants and animals. a.) compare and contrast the organs in plant and animals. b.) compare and contrast the nutrient requirements in plant and animals. c.) compare and contrast the feeding mechanisms in plant and animals. d.) compare and contrast the food processing pathway in plant and animals.arrow_forward
- Identify the nutrient: is an antioxidant; animal sources are more reliable than plant sources; deficiency symptoms include night-blindness and trouble tasting/smelling; oxalates and phytates bind to it, reducing absorption from plant foods; is water soluble calcium vitamin A vitamin C iron O zincarrow_forwardYou are asked to take care of your teacher's favorite plant while she goes on a research trip. She leaves a set of special macronutrients supplement that you can apply to the plant while she's gone. While in your care, you notice that the plant has distinctive yellowing leaves while the veins remain green. Which supplement would most help this plant? Select one: O a. Magnesium O b. Phosphorous O c. Nitrogen O d. Sulfur e.
