1. What do you think the experimenters considered as two possible sources for the substances (matter) that became incorporated into new tree growth? (This experiment was performed nearly 300 years ago. People didn't know very much about chemistry, and air was thought to be a non-substance.) QUESTION 2. When the experimenters measured the weight of the two substances (question #1) given to the plant, they found 35 kg of one and 2 kg of the other. Where do you think they thought the rest of the plant's weight came from?

xygen Production Your experimental team has gathered data on the rate of a plant's photosynthesis, measured by oxygen production, as the light intensity was increased. The graph below was created from your gathered data. Note: Diagram 4 may also be helpful in answering the questions. Use the information in order to answer questions #28 -31.

Pmax: The maximum pressure of oxygen gas. 2. Arbitrary units: The use of this term mean the graph is not using specific units as labels. Light intensity could be measured in lumens and oxygen production could have been measured in mm of Hg Select the best explanation for the oxgen production leveling off as the light increases in intensity. More light reduces the activity of the chlorophyll by breaking the pigment down. More light prevents water from getting to the leaf cells…

Part B Photosynthesis plays an important role in maintaining life in most ecosystems on Earth because it has an impact on how organisms obtain their energy. In your science journal, write a claim that supports the idea that photosynthesis helps sustain life on Earth, and support that claim with at least one piece of evidence. Use the rubric below to assist you with your response. Criteria Scale Makes Claim about Photosynthesis and Supports Claim with Evidence 2 This response includes both a claim about photosynthesis and its importance, and supports the claim with one piece of factual evidence. 1 This response either lacks both a claim and a piece of evidence, or contains a faulty claim or irrelevant/faulty evidence. 0 This response lacks the required components for partial credit.
Adjusting the wavelength of light and increasing the temperature can increase the rate of photosynthesis. Using specifics, describe in detail the effect of wavelength and temperature on photosynthesis and why or how these 2 factors affect the creation of the molecules used in or produced by photosynthesis.
