What is most likely to cause the greatest disruption on an ecosystem?
a greater mass of animals than plants
How does the gravity of the plant vary with their mass?
More mass means more gravity.Please note that the gravity between everyday objects, including animals or plants, is insignificant for most practical purposes.
What would have most likely stopped Gregor Mendel from finding a pattern in the results of his experiments?
if the f14 pea plants had traits of neither parent Mendel might not have concluded that factors for traits are passed from one generation to the next
What process do plants absorb minerals?
Diffusion,ion exchange and mass exchange is the mechanism of active absorption of minerals in plants.
What are MOST plants and animals unicellular or multicellular?
Most plants are multicellular
Jan Can Helmont concluded that plants gain most of their mass from where?
From water(It was Jan Van Helmont not Jan Can Helmont)
Which scientist concluded that most of the growing plants mass comes from water?
Jan van Helmont
Jan van Helmont concluded that plants gain most of their mass from what?
Its water :) Good luck :)
Which scientist concluded that most of a growing plants mass comes from water?
Jan Van Helmont. in his 5-year experiment he planted a seedling in soil and watered it. it grew to a small treegaining 75kg. mass of soil didn't change. since water was all he added, he concluded it was from the water. - from Prentice Hall Texas Biology Book (9th grade)
What did Jan van helmont conclude from his experiments?
Jan van Helmont concluded that most of the gain in mass had come from water, because that was the only thing that he added.
What did van helmont discover plants?
Van Helmont proved that plants got most of they're mass from water and nutrients in the soil. he also proved that plants release a combustible gas.
What conditions relate to the research of van Helmont?
He grew a willow tree in a carefully weighed amount of soil. He noticed that little of the soil was consumed, but that the weight of the tree greatly increased. He concluded that the extra weight came from the water. His willow tree experiment was one of the first to use quantitative measurements. Van Helmont wanted to understand digestion chemically, believed all substances could be reduced to air and water, and thought that acid/base reactions were fundamental.
How was the way plants feed discovered?
Aristotle was a Greek scientist who thought that plants ate soil and sucked it up through their roots. Most people believed this until the 17th century. In the 17th century, a scientist called Jan van Helmont tested Aristotle's theory. He measured the masses of a small tree and some soil in a pot. He planted the tree and watered it for 5 years In van Helmont's experiment the mass of the soil did not go down much (0.06kgs/ 0.132lbs) but the mass of the tree went up a lot (74.47kg/163.834lbs). This showed that Aristotle's theory was wrong. Van Helmont suggested that the tree got all of its food from water. In 1782, Jean Senebier showed that plants need carbon dioxide gas from the air and suggested that plants only use this gas to make food. In 1804, Nicholas de Saussure did van Helmont's experiment again, but he carefully measured the amounts of carbon dioxide and water he gave to the plant. He showed that both carbon dioxide and water are needed.
When Rutherford found that some of the alpha particles fired at the gold foil were widely deflected he concluded that?
He concluded that most of the mass of the mass of the atom is concentrated at a single place at the centre of atom. He named this place as the nucleus.
Who discovered that most of plant biomass does not come from the soil?
Von Helmont
