5. A biology student carried out an experiment to investigate the effect of mineral deficiencies on
plant growth, Cereal plants of equal age and size were grown in four cultures (A, B, C and D),
Solution A contained all known mineral nutrients in the correet proportions while each of the
other cultures (B, C and D) lacked one mineral. The following diagram shows the apparatus set
up for the experiment.
