Question
The figure below an apparatus for measuring net photosynthesis by measuring the change in CO2
concentrations when a leaf is put into an illuminated chamber. Why might you also measure the
change in CO₂ concentration in the dark? Is this statement correct, incorrect or irrelevant answer to
the question.
Measuring photosynthesis through a decrease in CO2 (CO2 uptake by the plant) over a short time in the
light can help one create an estimate of gross primary productivity. In order to estimate net primary
activity one needs to measure the decrease in CO2 in the chamber in the dark to estimate energy loss
through respiration
