At the end of the school year, students in the science club cleaned up dead plants from the school garden and placed them in the school's two compost bins. Red worms were added to one bin but not the other bin. In the fall, the students notice that the bin with the red worms seems to have much less volume of material than the other bin. The best explanation for the decrease in volume is - 13 A red worms help plant matter decompose faster B during the summer, one bin was cleaned out C more sunlight fell on one bin than on the other bin D one bin received more moisture than the other

39 You are growing tomatoes and your plants are healthy and nearly one metre tall. Youworry that they might get blown over by the wind, so you decide to lend them extrasupport with a wire frame. You accidently break the growing tip off the top of one ofthe plants. After a few weeks, you notice that instead of growing tall like the otherplants, the plant with the broken tip has grown denser with thicker lateral shootsthan the other plants.Answer the following questions in sentence format, that are related to the abovecase study. bc) What three plant hormones (plant growth regulators) and signaling moleculeare involved? And What hormone could you apply to the cut tip to reduce lateral shootdevelopment?

In the early 1600s, Jean Baptista van Helmont investigated how plantsacquire new mass as they grow. He weighed a willow shoot andplanted it into soil that he had also weighed. After 5 years of addingnothing but water to the plant, he found that the soil had lost only alittle weight, while the plant had grown from 2 kg to about 76 kg. Hetherefore concluded, incorrectly, that water was the sole source of theadded plant material. What other source did he fail to consider in hisexperiment?
Growers often wrap potted plants in plastic sleeves prior to shipping. If plants remain in these sleeves too long, their leaves curl and fall off.
