The experimental design to determine the photosynthetic strategy followed by the new species of succulent plant, which has stomata open during the daytime under the mild spring environment. Introduction: The process of photosynthesis is categorized on the basis of external environmental conditions into different types. C 3, C 4 and CAM photosynthetic pathways are the modes followed by the plants to make sugars from CO 2 . Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a carbon fixation mechanism mainly evolved in plants of dry and arid conditions. The main feature of these plants is the opening of stomata at night to collect carbon dioxide. The closed state of stomata during daytime prevents the loss of water, thus helps the plant to prevent from desiccation.

About 200 years ago, Jan Batista van Helmont wanted to know where growing plants get the materials necessary for increase in size. He planted a tree seedling weighing 2.2 kilograms (5 pounds) in a barrel filled with 90 kilograms (200 pounds) of soil and then watered the tree regularly. After 5 years, the tree had gained almost 75 kilograms (164 pounds), and the soils weight was unchanged. He incorrectly concluded that the tree had gained all of its additional weight by absorbing water. How did the tree really gain most of its weight?

Under what environmental conditions does photorespiration “outcompete" that of the CC? Specifically, what mechanism is responsible for committing the cell to photorespiration and what type of plant does not have any "safeguards" to ensure that the CC is performed rather than photorespiration?

An experiment is conducted to determine the effect of classical music on the growth rate of marigolds (flowers). Two groups of plants are grown from seed in identical soil types, exposed to identical light conditions, and given the same nutrients. Group A is in a quiet atmosphere. The plants in group B provided with the same atmosphere, except that classical music is played for twelve hours daily in this area. The scientist measures the plants in both groups each day and records the data. In experimental design, Group A is known as.* experimental group control group non-experimental group O quasi-experimental group
