Moving water up a plant from the roots to the leaves occurs by a combination of different processes. The main process that draws water up from the plant roots is...

1

Water travels from the roots, up the stem to the leaves, through tiny tubes. The attraction of the water particles to each other is called ...

1

Osmosis is the diffusion of water particles when there is a difference in concentration. When the concentration of water in the soil is greater than the concentration of water in the roots of the plant, the water particles will move to the...

1

When earthworms are moving through the soil they eat it, grind it, digest it and mix it. Their mucus helps stick the particles together and their tunnels provide...

1

Farmers need to make money when growing crops. Most farmers only grow one type of crop in a particular area. This type of farming is called...

1

The practice of planting a particular type of crop in a field every year, to match the nutrients the soil has for this particular type of crop is called ...

1

Many farming practices are used to save the soil from excess erosion. Planting trees or shrubs along the edges of field is one such practice. The purpose behind this is to ...

Dandelions are super weeds because they had no natural controls when they were introduced to North America from Europe. They were brought here to be used as a...

1

The use of pesticides can cause a problem. They build up over time in the food chain and get stored in organisms, just as food energy is stored. This process is called...
