Chapter 13, Problem 62TQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for the inhibition of photosynthesis under high oxygen concentration in C3 plants.

Introduction:

C3 plants are generally found in temperate zones. They produce a 3-carbon compound as the end product of photosynthesis, which is why they are called C3 plants. They have special adaptations that allow them to survive in the changing environment. They can shift from photosynthesis to photorespiration under low carbondioxide and high oxygen conditions.
