A student is collecting the gas given off from two groups of plants given equal sunlight. One group of plants is at a temperature of 30°F while the other group of
plants is at 85°F. The student notices more gas is given off by the plants in 85°F.
Which explanation best fits the experiment's results. (AKS 4b)
a)
More carbon dioxide is given off at 85°F because temperature positively
impacts photosynthetic rate until around 95°F
b)
More oxygen is given off at 85°F because temperature positively impacts
photosynthetic rate until around 95°F
