From a plant's perspective, the main purpose of photosynthesis is to Group of answer choices a)to produce sugars and oxygen for heterotrophs. b)plants are not cognitive organisms and therefore we have no idea what the "purpose" of photosynthesis is for the plant. c)to produce enough O2 gas for the plant to survive through the night. d)make sugars, such as glucose, to use for building cell walls and for energy needed by the plant.
Plant pigments absorb energy from the ________ spectrum during photosynthesis. a. infrared b. electromagnetic c. visible light
You decide to plant a garden with a beautiful black walnut tree at one end and a majestic white oak at the other end. You are quite disappointed, however, when none of the seeds you plant around the walnut tree grow. What might explain this observation? a. The walnut tree filters out too much light, so the seeds fail to germinate. b. The roots of the walnut tree deplete all of the nutrients from the soil, so the new seedlings starve. c. The walnut tree produces chemical toxins that prevent seed germination.
A. The C4 plant performs photosynthesis more efficiently than the C3 when the CO2 concentration is 600ppm or less.

Discuss what is happening in the C3 plant when the CO2 levels are below 50 ppm. Provide one reason why this does NOT happen to the C4 plant.
