the plant 12. Imagine a potted plant growing by the bright window in your dorm room. Then you move into your dark closet for a few days (watering it as needed). Will the plant's dry weight (weight minus the water) likely increase, decrease, or stay the same? A. Dry weight will decrease because the plant is still respiring. B. Dry weight will decrease because no photosynthesis is occurring. C. Dry weight will increase because the Calvin Cycle is still working. D. Dry weight will remain the same because no biomass is produced in the dark.

In C3 plants, _______ makes sugar production inefficient when stomata close on hot, dry days. a. photosynthesis c. photorespiration b. photolysis d. carbon fixation
Photosynthesis sustains plant growth, and inputs of sunlight sustain photosynthesis. Why, then, do seedlings that germinate in a fully darkened room grow taller than seedlings or the same species that germinate in full sun?
1.The shorter the wavelength of visible light the Group of answer choices a, more photons it contains b, less energy absorbed by photosynthetic pigments c, reener the color d, greater the energy 2. The reason we breathe in oxygen is to assist in the production of Group of answer choices a, cell structures b, ATP c, Glucose d, Nitrogen 3. Why does a plant use the CAM or C4 pathway during photosynthesis? Group of answer choices a, To bind carbon dioxide and not use the C3 pathway in photosynthesis b, To bind Carbon dioxide to use later in the C3 pathway when carbon dioxide levels are low due to closed stomata c, Plants that use C4 and CAM do not do photosynthesis d, To use in the process of cell respiration when stomata are closed
