The following post was added to a bulletin board by user Voidless2.  You will use your knowledge of cell parts to create a model of what may be happening to the grass.

Required

What patterns do you notice in the grass?

Required

What do you think might be causing these patterns?

Research
You do some research and find the following two investigations related to plants that may be helpful as you develop your model.  In the first investigation a lamp was placed at varying distances from an aquatic plant.  The bubbles were used to measure the rate of photosynthesis.

In the second investigation a geranium leaf was covered with paper.  After two weeks measurements were made of both the color of the leaf and the presence of starch (sugar) in the leaf.
