An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment,
Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings
was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below.

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…arrow_forwardVisit Garfield Park Conservatory website, https://garfieldconservatory.org You can find a lot of information in the following digital tours: Sweet treats, Demo Garden tour, and Herbs: Garden, Kitchen, and Medicine Digital Tours - Garfield Park Conservatory (garfieldconservatory.org) 1.
