What Do You Think?
Nature documentaries often feature the competition among animals for food, water, and space. These scenes are exciting to watch. However, plants seem to take a backstage to this type of activity.
- Do plants need to compete among themselves in any given environment?
- If plants do compete, how do they do it?
Write your answer to these questions in your Active Biology log. Be prepared to discuss your ideas with your small group and other members of your class.
For You To Do
This activity gives you an opportunity to observe the effect on plant growth when plants must compete for nutrients
