As part of an investigation, 10 bean seedlings in one setup were grown in the dark, while 10 seedlings in another setup were grown in sunlight. All other growth conditions were kept the same in both setups. The seedlings grown in the dark were white with long, slender stems. These seedlings soon died. The seedlings grown in the sunlight were green and healthy.

The Arctic National Wildlife

Refuge in Alaska is over 19 million

acres of land. This unique habitat

supports many species of land and

marine animals, including 36 species of

sh and 180 species of birds. Some

people want to drill for oil in parts of

the refuge. Scientists estimate that

the total amount of recoverable oil in

the refuge is between 5 and 16 billion

barrels.


Describe one environmental problem that could be

caused by drilling for oil in the refuge in Alaska.

if oil is spilled it

can kill many plants and animals, the

pollution from an oil spill could be long

lasting
