answer those questions in short answer
Data Analysis
1. Did your experimental results indicate that there is a wide range in the effectiveness of various allelopathic chemicals used by plants?
2. What were some of the possible sources of error in your experimental design? What are the confounding variables?
3. How could the control container with 100% soil and no leaves be a possible source of error in the experiment?
4. How might knowledge about allelopathic chemicals be used to create natural herbicides and help to promote sustainable agriculture?
5. Do you think that scientists should use their bioengineering skills to remove the genes from allelopathic plants that are responsible for producing allelotoxins and splice those genes into non allelopathic food crop plants in an effort to reduce the need for herbicides and insecticides?
6. Why might knowledge of allelopathic effects be important to farmers who are concerned about crop to crop and weed to crop interactions?
7. Many ecosystems are dependent on low intensity ground fires as opposed to catastrophic wildfires which can destroy important soil decomposers such as fungus and nitrogen fixing bacteria. How do allelochemicals help to reduce the possibility of catastrophic wildfires occurring in forest and other ecosystems?

Order Description
Your proposal should deal with the following area of federal government action:

Economic Policy

You need to broadly address how much your proposal might cost and how it will be funded in general terms (there should be evidence of research for this information). You should be able to identify the groups (political and interest) that would support, and those that would oppose, your plan.

Lab Assignment:

Attach your proposal to your lab answer then discuss your proposal in light of the class discussion for the week. Were the comments on your proposal expected or unexpected? How do you think your proposal compares to the others? Which of all the proposals do you think has the most realistic chance of being adopted (if none explain why)? What have you learned about the policy making process from this exercise?
