Farmers depend on a growing season to provide for their families. A growing season is the part of the year when rainfall and amount of sunlight allow plants to grow at a rapid rate. For many plants, especially crops that humans consume, the growing season occurs in the spring after the last frost and can last through the summer. You are to provide support for proving that additional sunlight during the growing season provides an increase in grow for plants.
First, your teacher asks you to demonstrate the relationship between sunlight entering the plant cell and increased growth. How do two organelles in the plant cell work together so the plant can grow? Use the following flowchart to show this relationship. Select the correct order of the terms to fill in the blanks. (TAKE YOUR TIME ANSWERING THIS QUESTION!)
