[2] (b) Soy beans have been cultivated for hundreds of years, and many different varieties are grown. The more soy bean plants grow, the more seeds they produce. An investigation was carried out to find out how four different varieties of soy beans would be affected if the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. Four varieties were used, called Arksoy, Dunfield, Mukden and Mandarin. Several plants of each variety were grown in normal concentrations of carbon dioxide. Another set of plants of each variety was grown in a high concentration of carbon dioxide. The mean mass of seeds produced per plant was measured at each carbon dioxide concentration. The results are shown in Table 3.1.
