The researchers set up experimental and control microcosms, or small artificial ecosystems, to measure the release of minerals f

rom rocks. First, they placed rock fragments of volcanic origin, either granite or andesite, into small glass containers. Then they made a suspension of water and macerated (chopped and crushed) moss of the species Physcomitrella patens. They added this mixture of water and moss to the experimental microcosms. For the control microcosms, they filtered out the moss and just added the water. After 130 days, they measured the amounts of various minerals found in the water in the control microcosms and in the water and moss in the experimental microcosms.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Control microcosms did not contain living moss, while experimental microcosms did contain living moss.

Explanation:

The difference between the control microcosms and experiment Microcosms is, the presence of the living moss in the experimental group whereas the control group does not contain living moss.

The independent variable in this research setting is the presence or absence of the living moss and for the control group, the mosses are filtered out and only added the water.

Place in order the correct sequence by which water flows through plants
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct sequence is - 2, 3, 4, 1.

Explanation:

The movement of the water takes place in the plant from the soil and moves up to leaves and from there to the atmosphere. Root hairs help in the absorption of the water from the soil with help of the epidermis of root hairs. Water then takes the path from the root to the stem with help of cortical cells.

Once the water reaches the endodermis or endodermal cell the water freely flow in the xylem cell upwards the stem moves to leaves by the transpiration stream. In the process of transpiration, an excess amount of water evaporates into the atmosphere.
