**Graph 1: Amount of Chlorophyll with Different Amounts of Light**

This graph illustrates the relationship between light intensity and chlorophyll production over time. Chlorophyll content is measured in micrograms per gram (µg/g) and plotted over a period of 48 hours.

- **X-Axis (Horizontal):** Represents time in hours, starting from 0 to 48.
- **Y-Axis (Vertical):** Represents the amount of chlorophyll in µg/g, ranging from 0 to 600.

**Key Observations:**

1. **Low Light (Solid Line):**
   - Initially, there is a gradual increase in chlorophyll content.
   - From 0 to 12 hours, the increase is modest.
   - A noticeable rise is observed between 24 to 48 hours, reflecting a steady growth.

2. **Moderate Light (Dashed Line):**
   - Chlorophyll content starts low, similar to the low light conditions.
   - A gradual increase is observed up to 12 hours.
   - From 12 to 48 hours, particularly after 24 hours, there is a sharp and significant increase in chlorophyll content, reaching close to 600 µg/g.

**Conclusion:**
The graph indicates that moderate light conditions result in a more substantial increase in chlorophyll production over time compared to low light conditions. This demonstrates how light intensity can significantly influence chlorophyll levels in plants.
