A class performed experiments to observe the effects of light and temperature on the growth of a certain type of fungi. All the fungi were grown for the same period, in the same type of soil, and with the same amount of water. The class sketched the mushrooms at the end of the experiment.Which of the following is the best interpretation of the data as shown in the sketches?A. The fungi grew away from the light. The fungi grew faster at the lower temperature.B. The light and temperature had no effect on the growth of the fungi.C. The fungi grew towards the light. The fungi grew faster at higher temperatures.D. The fungi grew away from the light. The fungi grew slower at the lower temperature.

Respuesta :

There are two variable to analyze separately, 1) The incidence of light on the fungi, and 2) tTe incidence of temperature on the fungi's growth.

1) The incidence of light on the fungi. As seen on the sketch, both groups of fungi are pointing towards the light, from what it can be deduced that they "like" the presence of light.

2) The incidence of temperature on the fungi's growth. For this, there's a chart with quantitative information, where it can be seen that fungi that were left with more temperature (on the right) grew more than the ones that were exposed to lower temperatures (on the left). From this, it can be deduced that fungi prefer higher temperatures to grow more and faster.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
