Textbook Question
Chapter 34, Problem 11TYU
There is a trade-off between photosynthesis and transpiration in leaves because (a) numerous stomatal pores provide both gas exchange for photosynthesis and openings through which water vapor escapes (b) a waxy layer, the cuticle, reduces water loss (c) blue light triggers an influx of potassium ions (K+) into the guard cells (d) leaves of deciduous plants abscise as winter approaches in temperate climates (e) stomata are closed at night, although water continues to move into the roots by osmosis

Students have asked these similar questions
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 of the same species that germinate in full sun?
For a given stomatal conductance, how will an increase in atmospheric concentrations of CO2 possibly influence the rate of photosynthesis? How might this affect the water use efficiency of the plant?
Given the meristem, vascular tissue, and cortex in plants, which one best needs respiration and which one needs it least?

- What would be the effect on plants if photorespiration did not exist?arrow_forwardYou continuously monitor the photosynthetic oxygen production from the leaf of a plant illuminated by white light. How and why would oxygen production change if you placed filters in front of the light source that transmit (a) only red, (b) only infrared, and (c) only green light onto the leaf?arrow_forwardPhotorespiration becomes more likely when a. CO2 concentrations are high in leaf cells. b. stomata remain closed in C3 plants. c. glucose concentrations are low in leaf cells. d. ATP binds to rubisco.arrow_forward
- What special adaptation has evolved in CAM plants such as cacti and stonecrops that allows CO2 fixation and the Calvin cycle to occur in the same cell, but still occur separately? Briefly describe how this separation of events works.arrow_forwardWhat is the benefit of Photorespiration in plants and what problem does it pose in many plants?arrow_forwardPhotosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts packed within the mesophyll cells. Summer leaves are green because they contain about 50 times more chlorophyll than carotenoids. But during the fall, carotenoids have their season of glory because chlorophyll breaks down first, revealing the striking orange and yellow colors of carotenoids, which were there all along. The changes that leaves undergo before they fall off allow the plant to reclaim nutrients from the leaves for storage and use the following spring. How do these nutrients leave the leaf ?arrow_forward
- Both NADPH and the related carrier molecule NADH are strong electron donors. Why might plant cells have evolved to rely on NADPH, rather than NADH, to provide the reducing power for photosynthesis?arrow_forwardWhat are potential outcomes when a plant's stomata close in response to heat and water stress? Select all that apply. CO2 and O2 may compete for the active site of rubisco. Photorespiration is more likely to occur. Photosynthesis is more efficient. Gas exchange comes to a halt.arrow_forwardWhat negative impacts will occur if transpiration in a plant is slowed down?arrow_forward
- In an experiment conducted on photosynthesis-CO2 update and photosynthesis-Determining rate in white light. what gas will be produce as an product of photosynthesis and if present, what will this allow the leaf dice to do? Also, what will be the goal of photosynthesis, and how will it be different from the goal of cellular respiration?arrow_forwardIf a leaf disc is exposed to light but not to CO2, why would it not produce enough O2 to float?arrow_forwardWhy do plants seldom exhibit deficiency symptoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen although they are used by the plant in large quantities?arrow_forward
