Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 12TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION Natural selection has led to changes in the architecture of plants that enable them to photosynthesize more efficiently in the ecological niches they occupy. In a short essay (100-150 words), explain how shoot architecture enhances photosynthesis.

SUBJECT: GENERAL BIOLOGY 1 / CAM and C4 Photosynthesis
Plant adaptation is varied among all organisms present on Earth’s fauna. Also,
we can’t deny the fact that as time goes by, the amount of carbon rises making it
more complicated for the rest of organisms to adapt and survive.
In relation to their specialized features, predict how C4 and CAM plants will each respond to a doubling
of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Which option describes photoperiodism?
time of the day when light shines with the most intensity
amount of light needed by a plant to exhibit normal growth
biological response of a plant to a change in the length of daylight relative to darkness
duration of flowering in a plant
the light phase of photosynthesis during which photolysis of water occurs
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS In a short essay(100–150 words), summarize phytochrome’s role in alteringshoot growth for the enhancement of light capture

- Please help this is hw and I want to know why I'm wrong Why do many plants use pathways that detect light to regulate their flowering? Selected Answer: This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Answers: This allows plants to link flowering to day length, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal Flower petals carry out high levels of photosynthesis and require high light conditions This allows plants to link flowering to temperature, which corresponds to the season when conditions are optimal A minimum amount of light is always necessary for floweringarrow_forwardRubisco can bind with CO2 or 02. When it binds with O2, it "wastes" some of the energy captured from the sun. This reaction is photorespiration and is favored at high temperatures and low CO2:02 ratios. Which of the following strategies should limit photorespiration (select all that apply). Keep stomata closed. Keep stomata open. Physically separate the light and light-independent reactions. Temporally separate CO2 uptake and fixation.arrow_forwardGive explain.arrow_forward
- What are potential outcomes when a plant's stomata close in response to heat and water stress? Select all that apply. CO2 and O2 may compete for the active site of rubisco. Photorespiration is more likely to occur. Photosynthesis is more efficient. Gas exchange comes to a halt.arrow_forwardJaden grows geraniums in his greenhouse. He has noticed that his flowers are not growing very well. The greenhouse is in the shade for much of the day and maintains a temperature of 23°C (74°F). What might be the problem and how could Jaden do to fix it?arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the cellular structure where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in plants? Stroma Thylakoid membrane Outer chloroplast membrane Stomataarrow_forward
- analyze the conclusion and determine if it is sensible and logical.arrow_forward. Plants can harvest the energy from light, but also rely on light as a stimulus to control other processes. Briefly describe one example of how plants use light for something other than photosynthesis, including the processes, structures and/or molecules involved.arrow_forwardnaam te gee / Using the light microscrope, compile neat and accurate drawings of each leaf with the C3 and C4 photosynthetic routes, and highlight the functional and anatomical features. Please annotate the following: Epidermis, mesophyll (palisade and spongy), stomata, vascular bundles (xylem and phloem), bundle sheaths, chloroplasts, air spaces, Krantz anatomy. Remember to name your drawings.arrow_forward
- The image below shows a plant that has one stem wrapped in plastic. You can see the condensation of water on the inside of the plastic bag. Which of the following best explain the processes required for the bag to accrue 1 point condensation? Water from the root to the leaves via the xylem and transpiration from the stomata O Photosynthesis from the leaves via the stomata. O Cellular respiration through the stems. Cellular division within the dermal tissue.arrow_forwardClosed stomata ________. a. limit gas exchange b. permit water loss c. prevent photosynthesis d. absorb lightarrow_forwardPfr, the active state of _______________, forms when red light is absorbed.
