If there is dissolved carbon dioxide in the water, are underwater plants able to perform photosynthesis? Explain why or why not.

Plants undergo photosynthesis, which is the process where carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are transformed into sugar and oxygen. Even though they look different than terrestrial (land) plants, aquatic plants, or plants that live on the water's surface or submerged underwater, also undergo photosynthesis.

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
