Refer to the graph showing the response of a hydroponic plant being transferred into a new solution.The dependent variable is the number of phosphate transporters per unit area of root epidermis as a function of time after transfer. According to the graph, the plant was most likely moved from _______ to a _______.

Question

Refer to the graph showing the response of a hydroponic plant being transferred into a new solution.The dependent variable is the number of phosphate transporters per unit area of root epidermis as a function of time after transfer.  According to the graph, the plant was most likely moved from _______ to a _______.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph shows that the number of phosphate transporters per unit area of root epidermis increases immediately after transfer, indicating that the plant was moved to a low phosphate solution where it needed to increase the number of transporters to maintain nutrient uptake. Therefore, the best choice is C, where the plant was moved from a high phosphate solution to a low phosphate solution.
