2 1 An investigation was carried out to show the effects of temperature on plant growth. Two sets of soaked bean seeds were placed on moist paper in containers. The containers were wrapped in foil to keep out the light. One container was placed for three days in a refrigerator at 4 C. The other container was left for three days in a warm place at 30 C.
For Examiner's Use
Fig. 1.1 and Fig. 1.2 show these two sets of germinated bean seedlings after three days.
