Amelia claims that when the outside air temperature gets too hot, the rate of photosynthesis in a plant decreases. Amelia conducts an experiment to support her claim. Amelia exposes five bean plants to different air temperatures for 24 hours. Then, she measures the amount of glucose made by each plant. The table shows the data from her experiment.

• The data does not support her claim because the amount of glucose increased as the temperature increased.

• The data supports her claim because the rate of photosynthesis increased as the temperature increased.

• The data does not support her claim because the amount of glucose decreased as the temperature increased.

• The data supports her claim because the rate of photosynthesis decreased as the temperature increased.

A student set up an investigation with four bean plants that are each 4cm tall. He waters the plants daily, measuring in milliliters (mL). Two of the plants receive light each day and the other two plants receive no light as shown in the table. The height of each plant is measured after three weeks.

Which statement best describes the outcome of the investigation?

• Plant C grew because it had only light.

• All the plants grew well because they all had only light.

• Plants A and D did not grow because they did not get light.

• Plants B and C grew taller because they had water and light.
