A student conducted a scientific experiment with a plant. She cut out three 1-inch circles from construction paper and attached each circle to a different leaf of the plant. Finally, she set the plant in front of a sunny window with good air flow and left it there. She made sure that the plant was given enough water during her experiment. After 2 days, she removed one of the circles; after 4 days, she removed another circle; and at the end of the week, she removed the last circle.Here are her results:Day 2: slight mark where the paper covered the leaf; it is a lighter green than the rest of the leaf.Day 4: yellow circle where the construction paper was.Day 7: almost white circle where the paper covered the leaf.Using your knowledge of photosynthesis, which answer choice explains what most likely will happen to those leaves once the plant is put back in the sun without the construction paper circles attached?(1 point)ResponsesThose areas that were covered by the paper circles will now be able to absorb the sunlight energy into the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts, photosynthesis will occur in those areas, and the green color will eventually return.Those areas that were covered by the paper circles will now be able to absorb the sunlight energy into the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts, photosynthesis will occur in those areas, and the green color will eventually return.The rest of the plant will develop yellow or white circles just like the leaves that had the construction paper circles on them and photosynthesis will not occur in those areas even though the sunligh energy is being absorbed by the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts.The rest of the plant will develop yellow or white circles just like the leaves that had the construction paper circles on them and photosynthesis will not occur in those areas even though the sunligh energy is being absorbed by the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts.Those leaves will fall off and the rest of the plant will continue to grow and perform photosynthesis.Those leaves will fall off and the rest of the plant will continue to grow and perform photosynthesis.The plant will die because the damage caused by the construction paper circles prohibited photosynthesis to occur at all.

A student conducted a scientific experiment with a plant. She cut out three 1-inch circles from construction paper and attached each circle to a different leaf of the plant. Finally, she set the plant in front of a sunny window with good air flow and left it there. She made sure that the plant was given enough water during her experiment.

Answer 1

Those areas that were covered by the paper circles will now be able to absorb the sunlight energy into the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts, photosynthesis will occur in those areas, and the green color will eventually return.

Answer 2

Those areas that were covered by the paper circles will now be able to absorb the sunlight energy into the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts, photosynthesis will occur in those areas, and the green color will eventually return.

Answer 3

Using the scientific experiment and observations, we can deduce the likely outcome for the leaves once the plant is put back in the sun without the construction paper circles attached.

During the experiment, the areas of the leaves covered by the paper circles exhibited changes in color. After 2 days, there was a slight mark and lighter green color. After 4 days, a yellow circle formed, and after 7 days, the circle became almost white.

These changes in color indicate that the covered areas of the leaves were not able to perform photosynthesis properly. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight energy into chemical energy, using chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts.

When the plant is put back in the sun without the construction paper circles, those areas that were covered by the circles will now have direct access to sunlight energy. This means they will be able to absorb the sunlight energy into the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts.

As a result, photosynthesis will occur in these areas, and the green color will eventually return. Therefore, the correct answer is: "Those areas that were covered by the paper circles will now be able to absorb the sunlight energy into the chlorophyll contained in the chloroplasts, photosynthesis will occur in those areas, and the green color will eventually return."
