Answer: the correct answer is (B) Whether others of the closely related group of plants also produce histidine in large quantities
Explanation:
This is a CAUSAL argument.
In a causal argument, A and B are observed together, and the CR concludes that A CAUSES B.
Premise = A and B are observed together:
A cultivated herb produces histidine and is able to grow in metal rich soils.
Conclusion = A causes B:
Histidine CAUSES the herb to be able to grow in metal rich soils.
One way to strengthen the conclusion that A causes B is give ANOTHER SUPPORTING EXAMPLE that links A to B.
The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.
Salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases, the amount of salts in the water—also known as salinity, increases. Various events can contribute to change in the density of seawater. Salinity can decrease from the melting of polar ice or increase from the freezing of polar ice.
Plants convert the sun's energy into carbohydrates via photosynthesis.
