Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Thirty corn seedlings of equal size were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. At the beginning of the experiment, the plants in group I were dried and the mass was determined. The plants in group Il were maintained in light for a week. The plants in group III were maintained in the dark for a week. All conditions, other than light, were the same for groups IlI and III. At the end of the week, the plants in groups Il and III were dried and the mass was determined. The experimental results are provided in the table.
