Lower Secondary Science 9 Workbook Answers - ####### 1 Cambridge Lower Secondary Science 9 - Mary - Studocu

This document contains sample answers for exercises in a science workbook on photosynthesis and the carbon cycle from Cambridge Lower Secondary Science 9. [1] The first exercise asks students to draw conclusions about how light level affects photosynthesis from a table of experimental results. [2] The second exercise asks students to form a testable hypothesis about the effect of carbon dioxide on the rate of photosynthesis in aquatic plants. [3] The third exercise provides sample answers for setting up an experiment to test the effect of different light colors on the rate of photosynthesis.
