When plants undergo photosynthesis, they make food for themselves and release

oxygen as a byproduct. A scientist measured how much oxygen was produced under
different light intensities. She had hypothesized that the amount of oxygen produced
would increase consistently with the light intensity. Her results are shown in the
table below.
Does the scientist results support her hypothesis?

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

It would not because when the light was at 700W it was 66O2 and when it was at 900W it went down to 65 O2.

Hence, it did not gradually increase.

Hope this helps!

Answer: The answer is "No; levels of oxygen increased and then began to level off despite increasing light intensity."

Explanation: because the graph is consistent until the intensity quickly increases then the oxygen produced varies in number.
