PLANT GROWTH

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
We can measure plant growth by measuring the change in the height or mass of a plant as it grows.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An apparatus called the auxanometer can be used to measure plant growth. Measuring the height of the plant. Checking the size and number of the leaves. Evaluating the rate of growth with that of fresh plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant growth rate can be measured as the relative increase in leaf area over time, by substituting total plant leaf area for total biomass in the conventional RGR equation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blot the plants removing any free surface moisture. Dry the plants in an oven set to low heat (100° F) overnight. Let the plants cool in a dry environment (a Ziploc bag will keep moisture out)-in a humid environment the tissue will take up water. Once the plants have cooled weigh them on a scale.

Detailed explanation-4: -The best way to measure the growth of a plant is by the use of an auxanometer. Auxanometer is a device which is used to measure the growth of a plant. In plants growth is defined when the length of roots and stems increase in size.

Detailed explanation-5: -One of the most characteristic biological processes in plant life is their growth; it serves as a good indicator for the compatibility of a plant with varying environmental conditions. For the analysis of such influences, measuring the growth of plant roots is a widely used technique.
