Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The C3 plants perform photorespiration when the concentration of carbon dioxide is low, and oxygen is high. Photorespiration takes place due to the residual affinity of Rubisco for oxygen. The enzyme assimilates CO2 in C3 plants.

The image below shows a plant that has one stem wrapped in plastic. You can see the condensation of water on the inside of the plastic bag. Which of the following best explain the processes required for the bag to accrue 1 point condensation? Water from the root to the leaves via the xylem and transpiration from the stomata O Photosynthesis from the leaves via the stomata. O Cellular respiration through the stems. Cellular division within the dermal tissue.
Chlorophyll is composed of a central porphyrin ring and a strongly hydrophobic phytol side chain. Which of the following correctly describes the function of the phytol side chain? absorbs visible light energizes an electron anchors the chlorophyll in the thylakoid membrane creates fluorescence
Rubisco can bind with CO2 or 02. When it binds with O2, it "wastes" some of the energy captured from the sun. This reaction is photorespiration and is favored at high temperatures and low CO2:02 ratios. Which of the following strategies should limit photorespiration (select all that apply). Keep stomata closed. Keep stomata open. Physically separate the light and light-independent reactions. Temporally separate CO2 uptake and fixation.
