Question 1

Lemna minor is a species of free-floating aquatic plants from the duckweed family Lemnaceae.
The plants grow mainly by vegetative reproduction: two daughter plants bud off from the adult
plant.

An experiment is carried out to investigate the effect of abiotic factor such as pH on Lemna sp.
growth. Experiment is done under controlled conditions: 12 hours a day light exposure and
using the same Knops solution.
Petri dish is filled with 20 ml Knops solution with different pH value and 5 Lemna sp. each.
The Knops solution is treated by adding acid or alkali to achieve the pH value needed.

** Knops solution is a solution which contains essential nutrient for plants growth.

After 7 days, the observation is made and the result shown in Table 1.1

Question 2

When a boy drinks too much water, the osmotic pressure of blood will fall below normal
level. Under such condition, the hypothalamus will not be stimulated and less antideuratic
hormone (ADH) will be produced. Less water will be reabsorbed and most of the water is
allowed to pass out through urine.

Design a laboratory experiment to determine the urine volume released by a student who
drinks different volume of mineral water.

The planning of your experimental must include the following aspects:

Problem statement
Aim of investigation
Hypothesis
Variables
List of apparatus and materials
Technique used
Experimental procedures or methods
Presentation of data
Conclusion
