Answer to Question #67785 in Biology for Adam

Question

How would you describe wet mass when talking about measuring growth?

Answer 1

Measuring the wet mass of plants is tricky. It should be saved as a final measure of growth at the end of the experiment. Here is the process for measuring wet mass:

1. Remove plants from soil and wash off any remaining soil.

2. Blot plants with soft paper towel to remove free surface moisture.

3. Weigh immediately
