Chewing insects mechanically damage plants and lessen the surface area of leaves for photosynthesis. In addition, these insects make plants more vulnerable to pathogen attack. Suggest a reason why.
the rate of photosynthesis in plants decreases due to clogged stomata of the leaves
Photosynthetic rate of trees with less sunlight will be lower than areas with more sunlight? Accounting for both shade and sun leaves.

- If plants need CO2 to construct glucose (by photosynthesis), why is the rising level of CO2 in the atmosphere cause for concern? You’d think more CO2 would accelerate plant growth, and that would be a good thing.arrow_forwardWhich is an example of Phototropism?

Plants can harvest the energy from light, but also rely on light as a stimulus to control other processes. Briefly describe one example of how plants use light for something other than photosynthesis, including the processes, structures and/or molecules involved.arrow_forward
