  1. Unlike animals, plants never absorb enough water that their cells burst, but they frequently lose enough water to wilt. Describe plant wilting in terms of turgor pressure. What is the optimum environment for growing plants?

2. Shrimp fishing off the coast of Georgia was closed in 200 l , due to a drastic reduction in the shrimp population. Harvest of blue crab plummeted in 2002 and 2003 following 5 years of drought ln 2008 and 2009, however, rainfall amounts reached near normal and the shrimp population returned to pre-drought numbers. Blue crab harvest has more than doubled compared with 2002 totals. Rainfall amounts in upland regions of the state have a significant effect on the salinity of coastal estuaries, regions where open ocean and fresh water from underground aquifers and rivers mix. These estuaries are the "nurseries" for many marine animals. Speculate about possible causes for the decline of shrimp in 200 l and blue crab in 2002 and 2003, and the recovery of these species in 2009.

3.  Each year in the U.S., millions of people become ill and thousands die from eating food contaminated with bacteria. Controlling the growth of microorganisms on food is a particular challenge and over the course of many centuries various methods have been developed for controlling microorganisms in food. Some of these include preservation by irradiation, drying, freezing, canning, and salting. Preservation by salting is based on the principle of osmosis. One example of this is the preservation of ham by applying large amounts of salt ("salt-cured") or sugar ("sugar-cured") to the meat within 48 hours after slaughter. Using information you learned in this lab, speculate about how this process works to preserve the ham.

Answer #1

For the growing plants the suitable environment will be such that the wilting will be performed more.

This happens when the turgor pressure of the leaves becomes zero and the rigidity of them reduces and thus their canopy or orientation of leaves angles becomes altered. This is called wilting.

The condition when the plants will show proper growth are temperature will be in the proper range.

Salinity of the soil will not be more.

Water content if the soil will be more..thank you
