Chapter 14, Problem 12IMT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The evident major theme for the statement given in the book: “Plants make their own organic matter from inorganic nutrients by photosynthesis” and also explain how the statement relates to the theme.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis is a process in which the green plants absorb the solar energy and convert the light energy into the chemical energy. This process takes place in chloroplast organelle which is present in the green plants. The chloroplast contains the chlorophyll pigments that transmit green light and absorb other light for photosynthesis. Plants are placed under the domain Eukarya as the plant cell contains a true nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles.

Also, we can’t deny the fact that as time goes by, the amount of carbon rises making it more complicated for the rest of organisms to adapt and survive. In relation to their specialized features, predict how C4 and CAM plants will each respond to a doubling of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.arrow_forward21.4.2 Test (CST): Computer-Scored Unit Test Question 12 of 25 Which activity would be within the field of biology?

An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment, Seedings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20°C for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below.

Change the following sentences to be more accurate. The first one is done as an example:a. Plants have leaves in order to photosynthesize. “Plants have leaves that photosynthesize,” or “photosynthesis in plants occurs in leaves.”b. Plants have flowers in order to reproduce.c. Plant cells divide in order to make more cells.d. Wind-pollinated plants have their flowers located high above the ground in order to be exposed to stronger wind.e. Some plants have red flowers to attract hummingbirds.f. After I eat dinner, my stomach secretes acid in order to help digest the food.arrow_forwardRead the scenario. A botanist (a biologist who specializes in plant biology) is researching the enormous biodiversity of plants found in the tropical rainforest. As she hikes through the forest, she finds a section of forest that contains several types of flowering plants that are unidentified, meaning they have yet to be named and classified into a scientific group. She observes several different examples of this plant over several acres of forest and notes that the leaves and stems of these plants look very similar. The only part of the plant that varies is the flower. She notes that on the southern side of the forest, the flowers are bright pink and have 18 petals per flower. On the northern side of the forest, the flowers are white and have nine petals per flower. The botanist wants to determine if the plants she has discovered are of the same species or different species. How would she be able to determine this? a If they are two different species, she could grow them…arrow_forward
