 Why are bubbles counted in this experiment, and what do they represent?
make a line graph showing the difference in the number of oxygen gas bubbles released by the plant under different light intensities and water temperatures.
Which light intensity and water temperature caused the plant to produce the most amount oxygen gas during the process of photosynthesis? Why

(a) it somewhat makes sense, but a good magnifying lens will also provide the evidence that they need to determine if the plant is alive (b) no it doesn't, because the properties of living things are easy to observe without tools or technology (c) it somewhat make sense, because some characteristics of life are observable by the naked eye, but cells can only be seen with a microscope (d) yes it does, because cells are the only proof that something is living and can only be seen with a microscopearrow_forwardA plant would be grown in a room with a heater maintaining a temperature of 35 degrees, and another plant would be grown in a room at 21 degrees.
