The rate of photosynthesis can be determined by measuring the rate that reactants are used up by a plant or by measuring the rate that products of photosynthesis are produced by a plant. How would placing a plant in a dark room for 24 hours affect the rate of photosynthesis? Ⓐ The rate of photosynthesis would increase and the plant would take in more water. Ⓑ The rate of photosynthesis would decrease and the plant would produce more sugar. Ⓒ The rate of photosynthesis would increase and the plant would produce more oxygen. Ⓓ The rate of photosynthesis would decrease and the plant would take in less carbon dioxide.

(me out over the last several centuries, scientists have made the following broad observations while investigating several branches of the life sciences: -the fossil record shows that different types of organisms have existed at different times in earth's history. -many organisms have similar body structures that seem to be adapted to different ways of living in their environment. -organisms of different species often share similarities in stages of embryonic development. -many species share genetic similarities, and almost all organisms use the same basic building blocks to construct proteins. -often, the extent of two species' similarities can be predicted from their geographic closeness to each other. -a great deal of change has been observed among species that have experienced strong selective pressures through many generations. scientists have carefully considered and rigorously tested the observations listed above. when scientists offer a of these observations, they are making 1.) testable explanation, deductive explanation 2.) scientific interference, scientific law
