9、only about 12 percent protein. Thats about one-third less than 172 years ago. Over that same period, CO2 levels have gone up by more than one-third. Back more than 170 years ago, they were about 280 parts per million in air. Today they are about 398 ppm. To test whether CO2 changes had played a role
10、 in the falling protein levels, the researchers did some tests. They grew goldenrod for two years at CO2 levels of up to 500 ppm. More CO2 in the air led to lower levels of protein in the flowers pollen. Joan Edwards, one of the researchers, says that this drop in pollen protein could affect a bees

According to the text, Joan Edwards might agree that _. A. the drop of protein in pollen has a good inf
