Question
Chapter 54.3, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason due to which most plants cannot grow in salty habitats.
Introduction: Soil provides water and other essential nutrients required for plant growth. Plant growth is also affected by salt present in the soil. Halophytes are species of plants that can tolerate high salt concentrations. The ability of soil to support the growth of the plant is known as soil fertility. Soil fertility varies greatly from region to region.

That is, you do not actually do the experiment but you will think the experiment though. Question Does talking to plants help them grow? 9. Replication and continued hypothesis testing - using similar methods and asking similar questions multiple studies will examine the same phenomenon 10. Formation and continued refinement of a larger theory Hypothesis A plant that is talked to will grow taller and produce larger flowers than plants that have not been talked to. Experiment Plant a seed, talk to the growing plant each day, and record how tall it grows. 9 Observations You planted a seed and watched it grow for 3 weeks, talking to it several times a day. It grew tall with a lot of leaves and produced a beautiful flower. Question Did this experiment prove that talking to a plant helps it grow? The answer is no.
