Question

pick which hypothesis would be best for plant growth. a. plants exposed to higher light intensity will grow shorter and have fewer leaves because light stops them from growing b. plants exposed to higher light intensity will grow taller and have more leaves because light helps them grow.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis (light - dependent) is vital for plant growth. Sufficient light (higher intensity) provides energy for photosynthesis, promoting growth (taller, more leaves). Hypothesis A claims light stops growth (incorrect), while B aligns with light's role in growth.

Answer:

B. Plants exposed to higher light intensity will grow taller and have more leaves because light helps them grow.
