. Based on the data in the scatter plot, estimate the percentagechange in dry mass of corn and velvetleaf plants if atmosphericCO2 concentration increased from 390 ppm (current levels)to 800 ppm. (a) What is the estimated dry mass of corn andvelvetleaf plants at 390 ppm? 800 ppm? (b) To calculate thepercentage change in mass for each plant, subtract the massat 390 ppm from the mass at 800 ppm (change in mass), divideby the mass at 390 ppm (initial mass), and multiply by 100. Whatis the estimated percentage change in dry mass for corn? Forvelvetleaf? (c) Do these results support the conclusion fromother experiments that C3 plants grow better than C4 plantsunder increased CO2 concentration? Why or why not?

Scientists studied what caused leaf shedding in a drought deciduous (=shedding leaves during the dry season) subtropical species. They quantified the quantum yield (=efficiency) of the PSII complex and the leaf hydraulic conductance (=efficiency of leaf water movement) in leaves of that species during the wet to dry transition. Please describe the results in Figure Figure 1. Changes in leaf hydraulic conductance during the wet and dry season transition of a subtropical species
