Question

You grow plants under two watering treatments: high water and low water. You examine photosynthetic rates as a function of light for plants in each treatment. Your results are in attached image

A) Which treatment is dashed line B?

     a) high watering

     b) low watering

B) What abiotic factor is limiting photosynthesis between the open circle and closed circle for treatment B?

       a) light

        b) water

         c) carbon dioxide

C) What process is limiting photosynthesis between the open triangle and closed triangle for treatment A?

      a) light-dependent reactions

       b) calvin cycle

 

The image displays a graph illustrating the relationship between light levels and photosynthetic rate under two different treatments, labeled as A and B.

**Graph Details:**

- **Axes:**
  - The x-axis represents Light Level, ranging from 0 to 100.
  - The y-axis represents Photosynthetic Rate, ranging from 0 to 100.

- **Treatment A (Solid Line):**
  - This treatment is represented by a solid line.
  - The photosynthetic rate begins at 0 and sharply increases with light level, approaching a plateau around a photosynthetic rate of 100 at higher light levels.
  - Data points are marked with a triangle (△) and a filled triangle (▲).

- **Treatment B (Dashed Line):**
  - This treatment is represented by a dashed line.
  - The photosynthetic rate starts at 0 and increases, but it plateaus significantly lower than treatment A at a photosynthetic rate of about 50.
  - Data points are marked with an open circle (○) and a filled circle (●).

- **Legend:**
  - The legend indicates the types of lines for the two treatments, with solid for treatment A and dashed for treatment B.

This graph demonstrates the effects of different treatments on the photosynthetic rate as light levels increase, showcasing the higher efficiency of treatment A compared to treatment B.

Expert Solution
Step 1: A. Identifying Treatment B:

In the provided image, the dashed line denoted as B corresponds to the "b) low watering treatment". This distinction is based on the observed photosynthetic rate, which consistently remains lower for treatment B when compared to treatment A across all levels of light.
