Question
The given table represents the statements of each student regarding the image. With reference tothe steps of biological method of study, which of the following students’ statements will becategorised as ‘observation’?Student StatementA The plant is in wilted condition.B The plant is provided with excessive nutrients.C Insufficient water is provided to the plant.D Transpiration has occurred in the plant.
Solution
The statements that can be categorized as 'observation' in the biological method of study are those that describe what can be directly seen or perceived without making any inferences or conclusions.
In this case, the statements that fall under 'observation' are:
A: The plant is in wilted condition. B: The plant is provided with excessive nutrients. C: Insufficient water is provided to the plant.
These statements are simply describing the state of the plant or the conditions it is in, without making any further conclusions or inferences.
On the other hand, statement D: "Transpiration has occurred in the plant" is not an observation, but an inference or conclusion drawn from certain observations. Transpiration is a process that is not directly observable but inferred from certain signs like wilting of the plant or drying of the soil.
