Question

name julia suga date 9/18 - 12/5 period 3 from october to february, more tropical fruits and vegetables are grown in hawaii than at any other time of year. table 1 shows the average weather conditions for each month in hilo, hawaii. precipitation is measured in millimeters (mm) and daylight is given in hours (hr). table 1. hilo, hawaii growing conditions

month	average rainfall (mm)	average daylight (hr)
november	198	11.0
december	267	10.5
january	289	10.8
february	223	11.2

equation 1 is the chemical equation for photosynthesis. equation 1. photosynthesis reaction 6co₂ + 6h₂o+light→c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ many hawaiian farmers grow taro, sweet potato, and papaya during this period because the frequent cloud cover and shorter days create optimal conditions. in contrast, during hawaiis dry season (april - september), intense sunlight and longer days can stress these traditional crops. based on this information, click on the boxes in the table to predict how the components of the photosynthesis model would change over time.

Explanation:

During October - February in Hawaii, more tropical fruits and vegetables are grown due to cloud - cover and shorter days being optimal. Photosynthesis equation is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+\text{light}\to C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). Shorter days mean less light, so photosynthesis rate decreases. With less photosynthesis, oxygen (\(O_2\)) production decreases as it is a product. Carbon - dioxide (\(CO_2\)) consumption decreases as the reaction slows, so it stays the same in the environment. Water (\(H_2O\)) consumption also decreases, so it stays the same in the environment. Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) production decreases as it is a product of photosynthesis.

Answer:

\(O_2\): decrease
\(CO_2\): stay the same
\(H_2O\): stay the same
\(C_6H_{12}O_6\): decrease
