Activity Many farmers and gardeners compost their plant and animal waste. The living material naturally decays in compost bins,

forming a dirt-like substance that’s rich in nutrients. The next season, farmers use this substance as a natural fertilizer for their crops. A biology student has grown tomato plants for several years. Until now, he used an artificial fertilizer formulated for tomato plants. This fertilizer caused his plants to grow faster and taller than they grew in unfertilized soil. The student wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his artificial fertilizer. Answer the following questions to plan an investigation using the steps of the scientific method and help the student find the answer to his question. Part A What are the student’s observations and inferences before he starts his investigation?

Answer and Explanation:

The scientific method is a research method used to produce knowledge. It consists of systematic observations, measures, experimentation, analysis, and verification of a hypothesis. It is based on two aspects: reproducibility (the capability of reproducing the experiment in any other place by any researcher) and refutability (susceptibility to be refused).  The steps of the scientific method are Previous knowledge about the study object. A question the investigator wants to answer. The goal, which is what the investigator wants to know. The hypothesis that the investigator makes in order to predict what is going to happen. The experiment is performed to answer the question. Results obtention. Discussion and Conclusions where the hypothesis is rejected or accepted.  

  • Definition and problem statement. The question for which there is not an answer yet.
  • Objectives, Hypothesis, and Predictions formulation  
  • Data collection and analysis. This step involves testing the observations.
  • Results  
  • Verification of hypothesis. This step involves the deriving of the working hypothesis.
  • Discussion and Conclution.  

About the exposed investigation, the student’s observations and inferences before he starts his investigation are the following:

  • Question: For example, How do tomato plants respond to each fertilizer?. Will the tomato plants grow faster when natural compost is used or when artificial fertilizer is used?
  • Previous knowledge: The student should know the optimal conditions required by tomato plants´ to grow better. What elements, nutrients, and compounds each fertilizer provides, and their characteristics. Antecedents of each treatment employed in the same or similar species.
  • Objective/Goal: What the researcher wants to know or find out. An example could be: To analyze  whether using natural compost or artificial fertilizer will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller.  
  • Hypothesis: It must express what is expected to occur, according to the antecedents and previous knowledge. It must be expressed in a perfectly comprehensive manner. There must be a logical relation between variables. It must be objective. An example could be: By the employment of artificial fertilizers, the plants will grow faster and taller.
  • Predictions: These are different possible explanations to what is expected to occur. They are anticipations of what is going to happen. But these are not necessarily correct. For example, An artificial fertilizer will apport exactly what the plants need to grow faster and taller, while natural fertilizer provides different nutrients in different amounts.  
  • Experiment: The development of the experiment.
  • Results
  • Discussion
  • Conclusion.

Answer:

OFFICIAL ANSWER (do not copy verbatim):

The student has observed that artificial fertilizer makes his plants grow faster and taller than plain soil. He knows that compost is a natural fertilizer. So, he infers that compost will make his plants grow at a faster rate than they grow in plain soil.

Explanation:

The entire cardiac cycle is as follows:

  1. Deoxygenated blood enters the right ventricle from the superior and inferior vena cava.
  2. The right atrium pumps the deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle.
  3. From the right ventricle, the deoxygenated blood moves to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
  4. After gaseous exchange, the oxygenated blood returns to the heart into the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
  5. From the left atrium, blood moves to the left ventricle.
  6. Oxygenated blood is pumped by the left ventricle into the aorta which supplies blood to all parts of the body.
  7. Deoxygenated blood, collected from the body again enters into the right atrium via the vana cava.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

38. Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

39. The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas

40. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.

41. Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
