As a group, we hypothesized that plants affected by the drought will absorb less CO2 compared to those that are irrigated regularly by Pepperdine University. In order to test this out we used the Carbon Dioxide CO2 transmitter which analyzed the carbon dioxide levels and conduction of three leaves that are under the drought and three leaves that are fully irrigated. The results were outstanding. As we hypothesized, the irrigated leaves had significantly higher CO2 and photosynthesis values than the leaves that were in the drought. The results are clearly reflected in the data, and consistent with the initial hypothesis. …
