The prevailing theory at the time was that plants grew by eating soil, and van Helmont devised a clever investigation to test this idea. He weighed a willow tree and weighed dry soil. He planted the tree, watered it and then left it for 5 years. He then re-weighed the tree, which had increased in mass by over 12 stone. He dried the soil and weighed it, showing that the soil was almost the same mass. He concluded that the tree grew by drinking water.

Which traits are challenges of life for all organisms? Choose all answers that are correct.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span><span>a.   </span>Reproducing</span>
d. maintaining structure
f. obtaining energy

These three traits definitely standout as a challenge for every living creature in the ecosystem. In Darwin’s Natural Selection Survival of the fittest: being fit is one category in order to survive the wild, in other words, being flexible. Reproduction is battle royale in both humans and animals, even for plants too. Why? Because the ecosystem changes, the weather changes, the food chain is a combat to chase. Some can’t even reproduce due to hereditary or physical causes. Energy is as important as living. If plants can make their own food how about the carnivores and the omnivores. Food is a challenge. Structure is sustaining the capacity and ability to hunt and survive. Important and a by-product of obtaining energy.
