Larry notices that com growing in the field behind a coal-powered factory is much taller than the corn that grows on his farm. Put the tiles in the correct order to explain why this happens. Photolysis occurs. Burning of fossil fuels uses atmospheric oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The rate of photosynthesis increases. More oxygen is released into the atmosphere. Water is absorbed by the roots of the corn, and more carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air. Com grows tall and more carbohydrates are formed.
