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.
Create a conceptual framework (either handwritten or digital) of the flow ofevents in each of the plant processes on Plant Growth and Photosynthesis. The concept map should briefly and completely discuss the organized stepwise flow of events and include linking terms to connect the flow. Make a maximum of 3 sentences narrative of how these two plant processes are integrated into the plant body for the plant to survive or adapt.
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

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_forward
- Give explain.arrow_forwardWhat 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_forwardHow do C4 plants minimize photorespiration? Multiple Choice Stomata are only opened at night, storing carbon dioxide in the stroma. During the day, the carbon dioxide is released for photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is fixed twice in different cells. The Calvin cycle occurs in the bundle sheath cells where oxygen concentrations are lower. Carbon dioxide is fixed twice in different cells so that carbon dioxide does not come into contact with rubisco. Stomata are only opened at night, storing oxygen in malate. During the day, the oxygen is released for photosynthesis. Stomata are only opened at night, storing carbon dioxide in malate. During the day, the carbon dioxide is released for photosynthesis.arrow_forward
