Graphing Analysis Assignment
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of mycorrhizal associations on plant growth. Two
groups of plants were grown. One group was planted in soil that had been sterilized. The other group
was planted in the same type of soil, but the soil had not been sterilized. All other factors remained the
same between the two groups. The plants were allowed to grow for 8 weeks. Each week, the height (in
centimeters) of each plant was measured. The picture below shows the plants after 8 weeks of growth.
The data table provides quantitative data on the growth of the plants over the 8-week period. Plot the
data from the experiment on the graph below and then answer the questions provided.
