- Climate monitoring demonstrates a continued increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Most scientists agree that this increased carbon dioxide will also lead to higher temperatures. a) How might future climate change affect metabolic pathways in plant populations? Explain. b) Biotechnologists are currently looking for ways to maintain food sources in climbing heat and carbon dioxide levels, particularly in developing countries. One such endeavor is to convert rice from a C3 to a C4 pathway to increase its photosynthetic efficiency. Will this actually increase its efficiency? Explain.arrow_forwardExplain why transpiration is best explained as a consequence of acquiring CO2 from the atmosphere, as opposed to temperature regulation, nutrient transport, or the use of water as a substrate in photosynthesis.arrow_forwardWhich of the four diagrams shown below correctly show the process of the carbon cycle?
