The line graph shows the number of first time visitors and returning visitors 
who visited Caryl Island from 2000 to 2008
 
 
 
 
The line graph depicts the number of people who visited Caryl Island over an 8 year 
period from 2000, with data given in two yearly increments.
In 2000, the number of people who visited the destination for the first time was 
approximately 8,000 per annum, compared with only about 3,000 returning visitors. 
However, by 2002, this trend had reversed, with slightly more than 4,000 new visitors 
compared to nearly 10,000 returning visitors.
From 2002 to 2006, both returning and first time visitor numbers increased 
dramatically rising to a combined total of well over 24,000 visitors.
While the combined number of people visiting the island remained high in 2008, the 
variation between first time and returning visitors narrowed as the number of people 
on their first visit continued to increase while those coming back for additional visits 
fell.
In total, it is evident that the number of people visiting Caryl island increased significantly 
over the period given.

The process shows how plants create food
 
 
The illustration shows the process by which plants are able to produce food.
Plants require input from four different sources to produce the sugars that are 
needed. First, the roots absorb water. Added to this, the plant is able to convert 
sunlight into energy needed for the process to be able to take place. Additionally, 
carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere through the leaves. Finally come the 
minerals which are extracted from the soil through the roots.
When combined, these four factors allow the plant to produce sugar, which is then 
converted into starch and stored in the leaves and the stem until required, when it is 
used for growth and repair of damaged leaves, stems or roots. A byproduct of this 
process is the conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen, which is released into the air.
Overall, the process requires four elements to function, and in turn produces two 
different effects.
