Question

Amy set up the following experiment to study how plant growth is influenced by weather conditions. mc052-1 One pot will model normal growing conditions, and the other will model drought conditions. Which of the following factors is it most important for Amy to change to model drought conditions?

Answer 1

Answer:

lack of sunlight, overcrowded region for shelter of the plants, no nutrients and water supply, etc.

Explanation:

The plants needs favorable climatic conditions and nutrient to grow. Plants need air, sunlight, water, proper temperature, nutrients, etc. grow and make their food. They make their food with the help of sunlight and carbon dioxide by a process called as photosynthesis.

Now in the context, Amy is setting up an experiment where she will study the growth of plants in two models. One in the normal growing conditions and the other in a drought condition.

Drought is considered the most important abiotic factor that limits the growth and adversely affects the growth and the crop. The factor that is important for Amy to change the model into a drought conditions is the lack of water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Also scarcity of sunlight and nutrients. The drought stress is considered as one of the crop performance limiting factors.
