Title: Evaluate the effect of light on plants.
Course: Introduction to Plant Systems (18051) > Section: Evaluating the Environmental Stimuli that Affect Plant Growth and Development

Evaluation should be made by conducting experiments, incorporating the scientific method, that may involve variables in

- light duration
- light intensity
- light quality (color).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What impact does light have on plants?
- Why can most plants not be grown in the dark?
- What role does light duration, intensity, and quality play in plant growth and development?
- What role do phytochromes play in seed germination, and the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth?
- Why is light quality important?
- When is there a need for a balanced light spectrum?
- What role does photoperiodism play in plant reproduction and growth?
