The mass of a plant increases over time primarily due to the process of photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and store it as energy. This leads to the formation of new plant cells and tissues, resulting in growth and an overall increase in mass. Water uptake from the soil also contributes to the plant's mass gain.

Why is finding the increase in fresh mass not a reliable way to measure plant growth?

Measuring the increase in fresh mass is not a reliable indicator of plant growth because it can be influenced by factors such as water content and environmental conditions, which do not directly reflect the plant's biomass or health. Fresh mass can fluctuate significantly due to hydration levels, making it difficult to assess true growth over time. Additionally, it doesn't account for the composition of the plant tissues, such as the balance between roots, stems, and leaves, which are crucial for understanding overall growth and development.


If instead of the sun there was a black hole of the same mass in the center of the solar system would all the planets have the same orbits?

No. The sun is decreasing in mass (fusion) over time whereas a black hole would increase in mass over time (sucking up astroids, gas, etc). So over very long periods of time the sun's gravitational force will significantly decrease, and if it was a black hole it would increase. Increase/decrease in mass directly affects increase/decrease in gravitational force. Since gravitation (and motion) is what causes orbit, over long periods of times the planets would have very different orbits in the two scenarios (sun vs black hole).


Does the bowflex machine increase your muscle mass?

Yes, the bowfex machine increases your muscle mass. You can get buff and big in no time! Studies show that by using the bowfex machine you can increase you muscle mass over 30%!


What occurs when a force causes the speed of an object to decrease?

When a force causes the speed of an object to decrease, it is known as deceleration or negative acceleration. The object's velocity decreases over time until it eventually comes to a stop, depending on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object.


What kind of air mass causes hot humid weather?

A tropical air mass typically causes hot and humid weather. This air mass forms over warm tropical regions and carries high levels of heat and moisture, leading to sultry and sticky conditions when it moves into an area.

The movement of air mass over earth's surface causes?

The movement of air mass over Earth's surface causes changes in weather patterns, including the formation of high and low pressure systems, wind patterns, and precipitation. These movements can lead to the development of storms, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms.

How can a volcano benefit the Earth's surface?

Volcanoes can increase land mass and over time produce very fertile land for growth.


Can a decrease in mass with an increase in volume result from the equation for density mass divided by volume?

Don't know what you are asking here. Mass is a innate property of matter you cant decrease mass. You can however increase volume (especially in gasses) so that the mas is spread out over a larger volume (usually by adding heat) and this DOES decrease the density. That is why hot air/water rises.


Does the suns mass increase each second?

Yes, the Sun's mass increases over time as it accumulates gas and dust from the surrounding space. This increase is relatively small, but it does happen continuously as the Sun goes through nuclear fusion processes converting hydrogen into helium in its core.
