- Where do nitrogenous wastes come from?arrow_forwardWhat are the three different categories of macronutrients?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
