There are four questions regarding Van Helmonts theory with how plants grow bigger in mass.
Although soil does not significantly contribute to plant mass, how might it help plants grow?
If a scientist were able to measure the exact mass of a carbon dioxide and water that entered a plant, and the exact mass of the sugars are produced, would the masses be identical? Why or why not?
What do plants do with all of the carbohydrates they produce by photosynthesis?
Explain how the experiments carried out by van helmont and Calvin contributed to our understanding of how nutrients cycle in the biosphere
1)Soil provides the structure for a plant to root and also contains essential minerals and moisture needed by plants. 3)The excess carbohydrates are sent for storage in the roots/crown.
