Question

unit 3 test.m
glucose produced over 24 hours
identify which of the two processes more efficiently produces sugar over time.
photosynthesis
respiration
they are equal.

Explanation:

To determine which process produces sugar more efficiently over time, we analyze the area under each curve (respiration: cyan, photosynthesis: orange) in the graph. The area under a curve represents the total glucose produced over time. The respiration curve (cyan) has a larger area under it across the 24 - hour period compared to the photosynthesis curve (orange), which is more concentrated in a shorter time. So respiration produces more sugar over time.

Answer:

Respiration
