[2] Plot the data that you entered into Procedure I Table. What type graph will you use and why? TableTop Science – All Rights Reserved 1 [3] Describe the trend for mushroom yield as the nitrate concentration is increased. [4] Write a hypothesis statement about the relationship between the number of mushrooms and nitrate concentration in the soil. Procedure II - Mushroom Yield - Heavy Metal Concentration Complete the table below using your data and information found under the Background tab Trial Metal Concentration Level (ppm) Mushroom Yield (Number of Mushrooms) 1 0.00 45 2 0.50 32 3 1.00 20 4 1.50 8 Observations and Questions [5] Plot the data that you entered into Procedure II Table. 2 TableTop Science – All Rights Reserved [6] Describe the trend for mushroom yield as the concentration of heavy metals in the soil is increased. [7] Write a hypothesis statement about the relationship between the number of mushrooms and the concentration of heavy metals in the soil. [8] What is the purpose of holding the nitrate concentration and the pH level at constant values for the four test levels of heavy metal concentrations? [9] A local researcher would like to check a new species of mushrooms for whether they can be used for bioremediation of heavy metals at a local hazardous waste site. Using the same experimental parameters as in Procedure II, provide hypothetical data (mushroom yields) in Table 9 (see below) that could serve as evidence that this new species of mushroom is weaker at taking up and accumulating toxic heavy metals. Explain the reasoning for your decision about the hypothetical data.

[11] Plot the data that you entered into Procedure 3 Table. What type graph will you use and why? [12] Describe the trend for mushroom yield as soil pH level increased. [13] Write a hypothesis statement about the relationship between the number of mushrooms and soil pH. [14] Considering the food web, which trophic levels would be impacted by lower yields of fungi (mushrooms) due to, for example, acid rain?
