Answer 1

a. If the student reduced the amount of carbon dioxide available for plants in area 2, the plants in area 2 would have a lower rate of photosynthesis than the plants in area 1.

b. If the student increased the carbon dioxide available for the plants in area 2, the plants in area 2 would photosynthesize faster than the plants in area 1.
