The label for the x-axis in Figure 1 likely corresponds to a factor that influences the availability of glucose for the sea snail, which is essential for its growth. Given the context, a suitable label for the x-axis could be "Photosynthesis Rate" or "Light Intensity."
This selection is based on the understanding that increased light intensity can enhance the rate of photosynthesis in aquatic plants or algae, leading to higher glucose production. As a result, an increase in glucose availability supports the nourishment of the sea snail, allowing for sufficient food intake for growth.
In summary, the statement emphasizes the relationship between the selected x-axis factor, glucose production, and the growth requirements of the sea snail.
