Iculations. 1.2 If only the above food chain exists in an ecosystem, explain the effect of the death of the greenfly that ecosystem. 2 An investigation was carried out using 50g of each of three soil types: sand, loam and clay place n filter paper in a funnel. 80 ml of water was run through each soil. A measuring cylinder was plac elow each set of apparatus to collect the water. An incomplete set of results for the investigation is given in the table below: Amount of water grained through each soil (ml) Amount of water retained by each soil (ml) 2.2.1 Soil A 40 2.2.2 Soil B How much of water was retained by soil C? Which soil type (A, B or C) was sand? Give a reason for your answer. 2.2.3 Identify TWO factors that should be kept constant in this investigation. 15 Soil 25​



Answer :

3 soil types as mentioned in the experiment:

A: Sand

B: Loam

C: Clay

80 ml water was passed through each of them.

  • Small-sized particles are found in clayey soil, large-sized particles are found in sandy soil, and both sizes are found in equal amounts in loamy soil.
  • Soil that is clayey has the largest potential to hold water.
  • Since, the table having incomplete set of observations is not attached, it is difficult to answer the amount of water retained by each soil type.
  • However, since it is mentioned that Soil A i.e., sand had 40 ml water below in the beaker. This means that 40 ml of water was retained by Sand.
  • The factors that should be kept constant in this experiment is:
  1. Amount/ Mass of soil taken
  2. Amount of water run through each soil type
