Suppose that you are a scientist comparing the energy that orchids use for developing flowers to the energy that orchids use to produce nectar. Your research produces the following hypothetical graph. These data make you curious if orchids that allocate less energy to producing nectar (and therefore produce less nectar) reproduce less frequently. Which of the following might be your hypothesis? (Select all that apply.) Orchid Energy Use 70 60 e50 O 40 30 8 20 10 Energy used for flower development Energy used for producing nectar
