Question 2

In the following instance describes an experiment involving the effect of precipitation on the photosynthesis of the native, long-lived, perennial, warm-season C4 species Switchgrass.

If you measure leaf photosynthesis at different time, how would temperature influence your leaf photosynthesis measurement? What’s the best time for leaf photosynthesis measurement in a day?

Expert Solution
Step 1

At low temperature the rate of photosynthesis is  limited  by the enzymes to carry out the process which would be collided with  substrate. So more the temperature rises more the photosynthesis would occur. 

C4 plants are adapted to higher temperature environment. They survive at higher temperatures almost from 32°C to 55°C. 

They use C4 pathway in dark reaction.
