Overview
Sandra is a 93 year old grandmother who has a house full of plants. She tends to her plants three times a week by talking to them, making sure they have adequate water, positions them in the sunlight and opens her front door for fresh air. Her grandchildren have always teased her about her house plants. They say she lives in a jungle. Although many of her grandchildren have tried to grow plants in their own homes, none of them have been as successful as the grandmother. They ask her for her secret, but she laughs and never tells. She told her grandchildren she will never reveal her secret because it forces them to visit her and her house of plants.
Based on your understanding of photosynthesis, why do you think the grandmother's plants are thriving?
