1.

Why do plants need magnesium?

a)

Make chlorophyll

b)

Make protein

c)

Absorb water

d)

Transport blood

2.

A scientist investigated whether giving plants different quantities of magnesium affected their growth.

He measured growth by counting the number of new leaves produced.

Write down a hypothesis he could test in his investigation.

a)

With more magnesium, less leave grows

b)

Increasing the amount of magnesium given to plants will increase the number of new leaves produced

c)

With less magnesium, more new leaves grows

d)

More water given, the more magnesium produced

3.

Here are his results.

• 0.5 mg magnesium: 3 new leaves

• 1.0 mg of magnesium: 5 new leaves

• 1.5 mg of magnesium: 6 new leaves

• 2.0 mg of magnesium: 4 new leaves

• 2.5 mg of magnesium: 1 new leaf

Which amount of magnesium gives the greatest number of new leaves growth?

a)

0.5 mg

b)

1.0 mg

c)

1.5 mg

d)

2.0 mg
