In this question, I'd like you to think about what would happen if we applied an herbicide that prevented plant growth by inhibiting some of the pieces in your diagram above.  For example, if we applied an herbicide to our plants and it affected the ability of Photosystem II to work, it would prevent he production of oxygen.  Let's say we apply an herbicide to our plants and it affects the function of ATP synthase. What product would be inhibited? Group of answer choices ATP NADPH G3P Oxygen

Expert Solution
Step 1

Herbicides are chemical compounds used to control or kill unwanted plants, also known as weeds. Herbicides work by disrupting essential biological processes in the targeted plants, such as photosynthesis or the synthesis of amino acids. Different types of herbicides target different biochemical pathways or enzymes within the plant. The mode of action of an herbicide determines its effectiveness, selectivity, and potential impact on non-target organisms. Some herbicides can have negative effects on human health, wildlife, and the environment, so their use must be carefully managed and regulated.
