4. Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the provided information and on your knowledge of biology. A small green plant was placed in a flask as shown below. A sensor that measures the CO 2 content of the air in the flask was inserted, and then the flask was sealed with a rubber stopper. The other end of the sensor was connected to a computer to monitor and record CO 2 levels in the flask over a period of time. For part of the time the flask was placed in bright light and for part of the time it was placed in total darkness. The graph below shows data that were recorded by the sensor over a period of time. Which condition most likely produced the effect on CO 2 level over the first 23 minutes? A. The light was on for the entire 23 minutes. B. The light was off for the entire 23 minutes. C. The light was off at the start and turned on after 10 minutes. D. The light could have been either on or off because it would have had no effect on the CO 2 level. page 2
