Max has been assigned a science fair experiment and must research a topic related to photosynthesis . After looking at the equation for photosynthesis he notices light is listed as shown below :

Photosynthesis Respiration: 6 CO 2 (Carbon dioxide) + 6H20 (water) ➡️(Light)(Chlorophyll) C 6 H 12 O 6 (sugar) + 6O 2 (Oxygen).

Max chooses to explore the effects of light on plant growth . He places three sunflower seedlings in three separate pots . He allows them to grow for 2 weeks and measures the growth of each plant . The pot that was placed in his basement , where no light reaches , grew 2 cm . The plant in his kitchen was a few feet away from a window that allowed some light in .
