Thinking About The Question
What happens to a living plant throughout the day and night?
How does the 24-hour day/night cycle affect release of water vapor by plants?
The turning of the earth on its axis has caused a regular and predictable daily cycle of light and darkness. Animals, plants and even microbes have built-in timepieces that help them know when to eat, when to rest, and when to wake up. Draw your impression of a 24-hour day/night cycle.
How does the day differ from the night? Label your drawing to show the lightest and darkest parts of the day. Label the warmest and coolest parts of the day.
