Students are observing an aquatic plant. They understand that the bubbles they see rising from the cut stem of the plant are the gases produced during photosynthesis. Which of the following observations provides the best evidence that light is the source of energy of photosynthesis?

• Plants observed in both darkness and natural light were both seen to produce bubbles

• The frequency of bubbling increases in bright light and slows to a stop in darkness

• The orientation of the light seems to have no effect on the production of bubbles

• The bubbles always rise to the surface of the water, moving towards the light

The concentration of carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm) was measured for a closed container in several situations. Which of the following data collected would demonstrate the action of photosynthesis?

• When multiple plants were put in the container, carbon dioxide concentration never got above 1,000 ppm

• When carbon dioxide concentration went from 800 to 1,000 ppm, the temperature of the container went up

• Plants in the container kept in the darkness did not lower the concentration of carbon dioxide below 800 ppm

• When the container included a plant exposed to light, carbon dioxide concentration went from 800 to 600 ppm
