Which of the following would be the best hypotheses about how rainy days influence photosynthesis in plants? Be sure to consider all aspects of a good hypothesis, not just the logic.Select the two best hypotheses.On rainy days, plants have lower rates of photosynthesis because of the interaction between rainy days and photosynthesis. Plants that live in rainy regions have greater rates of photosynthesis because they have more water, which is required for photosynthesis.When it is rainy, plants have lower rates of photosynthesis because they have less light energy available.Plants engaging in more photosynthesis will increase the amount of rain because plants remove water from the soil and put it into the air during the process of photosynthesis. Plants that live in rainy regions have lower rates of photosynthesis (on average). If photosynthesis is measured in 100 plants over the course of 100 days that vary in the amount of rain, there will be a negative correlation between the amount of rain and the rate of photosynthesis.

Solution

The two best hypotheses from the list provided would be:

  1. "When it is rainy, plants have lower rates of photosynthesis because they have less light energy available." This hypothesis is specific, measurable, and based on the known scientific fact that photosynthesis requires light energy.

  2. "If photosynthesis is measured in 100 plants over the course of 100 days that vary in the amount of rain, there will be a negative correlation between the amount of rain and the rate of photosynthesis." This hypothesis is also specific, measurable, and testable, making it a good hypothesis.

The other hypotheses are either not specific enough, not testable, or not based on known scientific facts.
