a. true
b. false

Explanation:

B. Matching

1. pH - E (Measurement of acidity and alkalinity)
2. Osmosis - A (Movement through a semipermeable membrane)
3. Corn - G (Specialized stem)
4. Root - C (Storage organ for excess plant food)
5. Sulfur - F (Macronutrient)
6. Leaves - D (Site of photosynthesis)
7. Fertilization - B (Addition of nutrients to the plant - growing environment)

C. Completion

1. Extremes of temperature will stop photosynthesis/respiration (biological processes in plants are affected by extreme temp).
2. Respiration will occur only in the presence of oxygen (or living cells) (respiration is a cellular process, aerobic respiration needs O₂).
3. When the temperature increases, the rate of transpiration increases (higher temp increases evaporation from leaves).
4. Soil provides a natural environment for the growth of plant roots (or plant growth) (soil supports plant root systems).
5. The spaces between the soil particles, where the soil water is found, are called the pore spaces (definition of soil pore spaces).

D. True or False

1. Respiration is a building process that uses sunlight to work. - b. False (Respiration is a breakdown process, photosynthesis uses sunlight).
2. The process by which a plant loses water is perspiration. - b. False (Plant water loss is transpiration, perspiration is in animals).
3. All plant elements perform the same function in the plant. - b. False (Different plant parts/elements have different functions).
4. Humidity refers to the amount of water in the atmosphere. - a. True (Definition of humidity).
