A) The concentration of CO2 is lower inside a plant cell than in the atmosphere (outside the cell).  In your own words, describe how the CO2 levels are kept low inside the plant cell and explain why this is necessary. Assume stomata are open.    B) Regarding the situation presented in Part A and assuming that the stomata of the plant leaves are closed, would this favour the induction of photorespiration in a C3 plant? Explain. Make reference to relevant molecule or molecules as needed.     Please clearly label your responses as A and B

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
