The graph peaks during the times of peak sunlight, typically around midday. This is because photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, and during these peak sunlight hours, plants absorb higher amounts of carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen, resulting in increased gas absorption reflected in the graph.
The graph below shows the amount of a certain gas absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. In 2-3 sentences, explain the reason why the graph peaks at the times shown in the graph.
Grading Considerations:
Your answer must include:
2-3 complete sentences
What times the graph peaks
Why the graph peaks at these times, using reactants and products of photosynthesis to explain your answer.
Your answer should be 2-3 sentences in length. Answers longer than 4 sentences will not be considered. Answering concisely and to the point is evidence of your understanding of the topic.
