Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.61P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
State the impact of least efficiency of enzyme that catalyzes carbon dioxide fixation in photosynthesis on energy requirements in photosynthesis.
Concept introduction:
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil and convert them into carbohydrate (mainly glucose) in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
