Question
Chapter 37.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To idenify: The plastids that contain more of the enzyme Rubisco.
Introduction: The rate of photosynthesis in plants increases with the increase in CO2 concentration. This process keeps on going until rubisco has become fully saturated with CO2. The plants present in arid and hot regions use CO2 through an adaptation called C4 photosynthesis. The internal structure of the leaves of C4 plants helps in efficient utilization of CO2.

- SimpLENI will be competing in a Lugaw Cooking Competition in May. She will be using onions as a special ingredient and garnish in her recipe. She then planted onions in two soil treatments labelled as ANGAT and UNITY. After a week, SimpLENI noticed that her onions in ANGAT increased in number compared to that of onions in UNITY. She then hypothesized that the soil treatments affected the cellular division in the roots of onions contributing to the difference in yield. To prove this, SimpLENI prepared longitudinal sections of onion root tips. Support SimpLENI in her experiment and win the competition by answering the following questions:arrow_forward: Which of the following type of inflorescence has an axis with limited growth?
