That would be oxidative phosphorylation...this involves the electron transport chain; takes one NADH to make 2.5 ATP, one FADH2 to make 1.5 ATP...overall you make 34 ATP molecules.
The point of the experiment has been foiled by the choice to hand water one group and use sprinklers on the other. Whether talking to the plant or not did anything can't be proven because of this. If the student were to try to publish this experiment and the outcomes. Critics would be able to use the unequal treatment in water supply as a reason to discredit his/her experiment and dismiss the claims. When performing an experiment like this it is very important to treat each side as equal as possible.
Answer:
Because the leaves contain a greater concentration of green chlorophylls than yellow and orange carotenoids.
Explanation:
Chlorophyll and carotenoids are both pigments found in the cells of organisms like plants. They have differing color range depending on which wavelength of light they absorb and which they reflect. For example, chlorophyll pigment are green because they reflect green light and absorb others.
According to this question, the leaves of most plants contain yellow and orange carotenoids in addition to green chlorophylls but leaves are mostly green. This is because there is an abundant of chlorophyll pigment than any other pigment in the leaves of most plants. Hence, GREEN COLOR conferred by chlorophyll dominates and masks the color appearance of the other accessory pigments like yellow and orange carotenoids.
True, organisms take in nitrogen and carry out life processes.
