Plants experience a vast array of conditions that can alter their growth and development, including temperature and availability of water, nutrients, and light. They are also exposed to pollutants such as acid rain formed largely as a result of burning fossil fuels and volcanic eruptions. Acid rain can strip minerals and nutrients from the soil, and eat away the outer waxy layer of tissue that protects a plant. Acid rain is still a major environmental problem in certain regions. How does acid rain affect plant growth? Develop a hypothesis on the likely effects of acid rain on primary growth in trees. Based on your hypothesis, make some predictions about the impact of acid rain on the height of tree trunks.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So acid rain can decrease leaf water content, destroy chloroplast structure and decreased clara passed 80 P synthesis activity. What is the general effect of as a rain on growth? So we need to understand that if water is affected and chloroplast and this 80 P synthesis, then energy production will be affected because if the plant wants to produce energy in order to grow then it needs all of these just resources of all of these aspects of energy production. Now, since everything was either destroyed or negatively affected, then the energy production capability of the plant will decrease or just be reduced because of this. The correct answer choice is going to be answer choice A. It reduces plant growth. That is the final answer to a question and I really hope this helped you.
