The provided question is incomplete as the important part and group of choices was missing, however, the correct question is given below:
In an experiment, Tony placed a potted plant under a bell jar, completely sealing the jar to the tabletop. After placing a box over the bell jar for 24 hours, he measured the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the gas in the jar. Which statement best describes the measurements he would find in the jar, compared with the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the classroom air?
Concentrations of both carbon dioxide and oxygen decreased.
Concentrations of both carbon dioxide and oxygen increased.
Carbon dioxide concentration increased; oxygen concentration decreased.
Oxygen concentration increased; carbon dioxide concentration decreased.
Answer:
The correct answer would be - Carbon dioxide concentration increased; oxygen concentration decreased.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two major processes respiration and photosynthesis that help in the production and utilizing the carbon dioxide and oxygen in plants. In order for your plant to grow photosynthesis is the process that converts carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis only occurs in the daylight process so the use of carbon dioxide and producing oxygen is limited.
On the other hand, respiration is a continuous process that uses oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide therefore the correct answer is Carbon dioxide concentration increased; oxygen concentration decreased
