Jump to... Sapling Learning A group of students hypothesized that plants would grow taller when exposed to full sunlight. To study the effect of sunlight on plant growth, the students planted 20 basil seedlings in a field that received full sunlight The students planted an additional 20 seedlings in a different field that received limited sunlight. After 30 days, the heights of the seedlings in both fields were measured to compare growth. The results are shown in the charts 15% more than 100m 50% less than 10 cm 35% died 85% more than 10 cm 1.10% less than 10 cm 5% died Field with limited sunlight Field with full sunlight What conclusion can be drawn from the data? O Basil plants grow less than 10 cm without sunlight O Sunlight is necessary for growth in basil plants O Basil seedlings grow faster in full sunlight O Sunlight kills diseases that may stunt plant growth. O Basil does not grow tall unless it is in full sunlight ?Previous ?tiritt P ?wwwsutut on ) Check Answer ? Next Exit! Hint

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Option B is correct.

Explanation:

The given data shows that sunlight is necessary for proper plant growth.

i. 15% of Basil plants could grow to 10 cm height even with less sunlight. So, option A is incorrect.

ii. Both the data sets were collected on the same time period (Assumption). In the same time duration, 10 cm plant height can be observed in both the conditions. So, option C is incorrect.

iii. There is no mention of diseases in the experiment. The death of plants may be due to lack of food production. So, option D is incorrect.

iv. 15% of Basil plants could grow to 10 cm height even with less sunlight. So, option E is incorrect.
