Textbook Question
Chapter 39, Problem 5A
You have come up with a brilliant idea to stretch your grocery budget by buying green fruit in bulk and then storing it in a bag that you have blown up like a balloon. As you need fruit, you would take it out of the bag, and it would miraculously ripen. How would this work?
a. The bag would block light from reaching the fruit, so it would not ripen.
b. The bag would keep the fruit cool, so it would not ripen.
c. The high CO2 levels in the bag would prevent ripening.
d. The high O2 levels in the bag would prevent ripening.

- See the question attached below.arrow_forwardYou are responsible for landscaping a very large urban park. You choose a popular flowering garden plant, the hydrangea, to plant throughout the park. The nursery you purchased the plants from said that the flowers should be pink. After a few months, though, you find—to your surprise—that the plants throughout the park display a variety of flower colors ranging from purple and blue, to pink and white, and finally, to all shades in between. After a suggestion from a friend, you test the soil where each plant was planted, and you determine that the color of the flowers seems to correlate with the acidity of the soil in which the plant was placed. Choose the answer that best fits the blank. The parentheses after the blanks are the choices.
