We receive more solar energy than is available for consumption. Consider this scenario: A garden has beautiful flowers and a beehive filled with honeycomb. Every day, the honeybees collect nectar from these flowers to produce honey. Do you think that the energy trapped by the flowering plants is completely transferred to the honeybees and from the honeybees to the honey? Relate this to the second law of thermodynamics.

What is the best conclusion based on this data? the hypothesis was not supported because the data indicated that fertilizing plants does not improve plant growth. the hypothesis was supported; to get the best growth, use 5 milliliters of fertilizer per plant. the hypothesis was not supported; the data indicated that too much fertilizer can inhibit plant growth. the hypothesis was supported; to get the best growth, use 15 milliliters of fertilizer per plant.
