The table that the scientist constructed does not include light. Describe the role of light in the scientist’s experiment. Then propose an explanation for why light was not included in the table.

Light provides the matter for the chemical reactions that take place during photosynthesis, and the table includes only energy, not matter.

b)

Light provides the energy for the chemical reactions that take place during photosynthesis, and the table includes only matter, not energy.

Light plays no role in the scientist’s experiment and therefore was not included in the table.

Light is a product of the chemical reactions that take place during photosynthesis, and the table includes only reactants, not products.

8.

Under normal conditions, gases diffuse through small holes in the leaves of a plant. When the weather is very hot and dry, plants may close these openings to conserve water. How are the closures most likely to affect photosynthesis?

They increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of water in the leaf.

b)

They decrease the rate of photosynthesis by preventing carbon dioxide from entering the leaf.

c)

They increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of oxygen in the leaf

d)

They have little or no effect on photosynthesis because gases do not take part in the process.

9.
