You perform an experiment in which you take 16 pots of strawberry plants and give half of them 1 gm of ammonium nitrate per lite

r of water and the other half receive only water. Each group is then split in half again, and exposed to either 8 or 16 hours of light each day. You monitor the height of the plants for 4 weeks. You observe that plants grown in ammonium nitrate and 16 hours of light grow taller than no ammonium nitrate and 8 hours of light.
The reason for the uptake by plants of nutrients like ammonium nitrate is

asexual reproduction.

homeostasis.

evolution.

Answer:

homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process whereby living systems maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in environmental conditions. Plants, like every other living organisms also perform this process to keep their internal environment in a stable state.

According to the question, some plants were exposed to ammonium nitrate, which serves as a nutrient, and 16 hours of sunlight needed for photosynthesis to take place. The plants exposed to ammonium nitrate and 16 hours sunlight grew taller because they had access to nutrients needed to bring about the process of photosynthesis, which provides the plant with energy source (Glucose).

The uptake of nutrients like ammonium nitrate by the plants is done in order to maintain a homeostatic internal environment. Without nutrients, which is the purpose of the ammonium nitrate, plants cannot grow. Hence, the plants exposed to ammonium nitrate, take it in to keep their internal environment functioning.

Why does a chemical change change the chemical makeup of matter
Vinil7 [7]

Chemical change is a process where a current substance changes or is made into a new type of substance
<span>. Unlike the physical change, which is reversible. Chemical change stays into a its new form. Take for instance these -physical change- examples, making ice cubes. The process involves solidification or freezing where the water becomes ice or solid but when it melts back to its original or typical form with respect to temperature, it’s still water. When the paper is cut into pieces it isn’t burned or exposed to a stimuli that can trigger immediate change in its composition. It’s still the same. On the contrary, baking a cake involves these different compositions or substances –flour, egg, yeast and etc. that is baked to a cake, a newly formed unified substance of all the included ingredients.       </span>
