A) The concentration of CO2 is lower inside a plant cell than in the atmosphere (outside the cell).  In your own words, describe how the CO2 levels are kept low inside the plant cell and explain why this is necessary. Assume stomata are open.    B) Regarding the situation presented in Part A and assuming that the stomata of the plant leaves are closed, would this favour the induction of photorespiration in a C3 plant? Explain. Make reference to relevant molecule or molecules as needed.     Please clearly label your responses as A and B
Plant roots are adapted as storage organ( such as potatoes and carrots)Typically photosynthesize during the summer and remain dormant underground during winter. Explain how sugar transport in such a plant would be different during summer, when the plant is photosynthesizing and in the spring when new growth is coming up
