SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on plotting the percentage concentration of carbon dioxide against the rate of photosynthesis under varying light intensities. The specific concentrations of carbon dioxide range from 0.00 to 0.20, while the photosynthesis rates are provided for both low and high light intensities. The solution involves creating a grid where each row corresponds to the carbon dioxide concentration and the respective photosynthesis rates. The key takeaway is the necessity to plot both sets of results on the same graph for comprehensive analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graph plotting techniques
  • Familiarity with data visualization tools
  • Knowledge of carbon dioxide concentration effects on photosynthesis
  • Basic skills in interpreting graphical data
NEXT STEPS
  • Research data visualization libraries such as Matplotlib for Python
  • Learn how to create multi-line graphs to compare datasets
  • Explore the impact of light intensity on photosynthesis rates
  • Study the principles of grid plotting in data representation
USEFUL FOR

Students in biology or environmental science, educators teaching about photosynthesis, and data analysts interested in environmental data visualization.

Homework Statement



Plot the result on the grid.

Percentage concentration of carbon dioxide: 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, 0.18, 0.20

Rate of photosynthesis in arbitrary units
low light intensity: 0, 20, 29, 35, 39, 42, 45, 46, 46,46,...
high light intensity: 0, 33, 53, 68, 79, 86, 89, 90, 90, 90,...


Homework Equations


How do you plot all these results on the same graph??


The Attempt at a Solution



I tried plotting the results on the grid, but i couldn't fit in all the results on the same graph. Whats the question asking me to do?

The question is asking you to plot both sets of results on the same graph. The two sets of results are these: (*)percent concentration carbon dioxide versus low intensity rate in arbitrary units, and (*)percent concentration carbon dioxide versus high intensity rate in arbitrary units. For graphs, plotting the points is straightforward.

If you want to plot onto a grid, and if by "grid" you mean table of data, then you can simply use a row for percent concentration of carbon dioxide, a row for the low intensity rate, and a row for the high intensity data. Each coordinate needs to correspond in each column.
 
thank you! :)
