Answer to Question 1

In the NFT system the solution passes over the plant roots where it is
radically altered in its nutrient content and pH level. In the ebb-and-flood system
the solution to be recycled does not enter the pot or the root substrate. Therefore, it
is for the most part unaltered except for the loss of some water through
evaporation.

Answer to Question 2

See figures and explanations in the text.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
