- ANH4(+)
- BPO4(3-)
- CNO3(-)
- DMg(2+)

- COleander
14True or false? In deserts, plants stay out all year round and flower very slowly.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15True or false? Mosquitoes are adapted to finding human prey as they are attracted to high carbon dioxide levels caused by exhalation.
- ATrue
- BFalse

- ASubtract the lowest value from the highest
- BTake the middle answer when in ascending order
- CTake the most common answer
- DDivide the sum of all the readings by the number of readings
20True or false? Valid data is where another person could repeat the experiment with different equipment and get the same answer.
- ATrue
- BFalse
