End of the activity, write a brief evaluation of your work. Activity
Many farmers and gardeners compost their plant and animal waste. The living material naturally decays in compost bins,
forming a dirt-like substance that's rich in nutrients. The next season, farmers use this substance as a natural fertilizer for
their crops.
A biology student has grown tomato plants for several years. Until now, he used an artificial fertilizer formulated for
tomato plants. This fertilizer caused his plants to grow faster and taller than they grew in unfertilized soil. The student
wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his artificial
fertilizer.
Answer the following questions to plan an investigation using the steps of the scientific method and help the student find
the answer to his question.
Part A
What are the student's observations and inferences before he starts his investigation?

biology is the study of life. it is the study of living organism.

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

instead of copying and pasting things off of tests or work done on computer which im sure you did, try and read over the question carefully
