Study the information on the chart and the graphic. What can you infer about photosynthesis? a The closer the light source, the lower the amount of oxygen gas produced. b The closer the light source, the higher the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced. c The closer the light source, the lower the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced. d The closer the light source, the higher the amount of oxygen gas produced.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided about the relationship between light sources and photosynthesis, the correct inference is likely:

d The closer the light source, the higher the amount of oxygen gas produced.

In general, photosynthesis is driven by light; as the intensity of light increases (typically when the light source is closer), the rate of photosynthesis tends to increase, which often results in higher oxygen production as a byproduct.
