1) Plants are often at the beginning of a food chain. How do they produce their own food?
2. In what ways are humans and other animals dependent on plants?
3. One way plants may respond to increased levels of carbon dioxide is to grow faster. Is this what happens? Does it have any negative impact?
4. Explain in detail how the plants capture carbon dioxide, identify the proteins and its role.
5. What is the connection between the amount of protein a plant has, and the nutrition value and protection measures of the plant?
6. Draw a flow chart or a labelled diagram to show how increased carbon dioxide levels may impact plants, taking into account photosynthesis, protein levels and plant responses.
7. Use your flow chart to show how koalas and grasshoppers might be affected.
8. How might living and non-living things, such as pests and weather, change as a result of altered carbon dioxide levels?
