Francis observes that corn seedlings will bend toward a light source. He grows 150 corn seedlings. He then removes the
tips from 50 seedlings, covers the tips of another 50 seedlings with aluminum foil, and leaves the last 50 seedlings alone.
He puts all the seedlings near a strong light source and observes them for three days. Which hypothesis is Francis
testing?
If a seedling is watered , it will always grow toward the light.
If a seedling is exposed to alight source, the seedling will bend toward the light.
If the tip is removed from a seedling, the seedling will die even if exposed to light
If light does not reach the tip of a seedling, the seedling will not bend toward the light

In an experiment, Sara measured the mass of a seedling and the soil in which it was placed. Several months later, Sara
measured the mass of the plant that grew from the seedling and the soil. She found a large increase in the mass of the
plant and little change in the mass of the soil.Based on Sara’s observation, which conclusion is most justifiable?
Plants do not gain mass by absorbing more matter from the soil than they replace.
All the mass of the plant came from the water
Plants get all their nutrients from the soil.
No matter is exchanged, as soil functions only as a stabilizer for plant’s roots.
