- Why is a weed significant as a pest?arrow_forwardPhotorespiration causes a number of impacts on a plant. Which of these drives the ECOLOGICAL difference between C3 and C4 plants Question 4 options: Rubisco mistakes Oxygen for CO2 The plant uses energy to convert the toxic product of photorespiration back into something less harmful The plant needs a large number of enzymes to be able to regain the energy invested in the 2 carbon molecule produced by photorespiration None of these explain the difference The plant needs to do gas exchange to remove oxygen and add CO2 to the cell doing photosynthesis to avoid photorespiration.arrow_forwardThe figure below an apparatus for measuring net photosynthesis by measuring the change in CO2 concentrations when a leaf is put into an illuminated chamber. Why might you also measure the change in CO₂ concentration in the dark? Is this statement correct, incorrect or irrelevant answer to the question. Measuring photosynthesis through a decrease in CO2 (CO2 uptake by the plant) over a short time in the light can help one create an estimate of gross primary productivity. In order to estimate net primary activity one needs to measure the decrease in CO2 in the chamber in the dark to estimate energy loss through respiration Light source (a) Light O irrelevant O incorrect correct Sealed chamber Carbon dioxide sensor Leaf CO₂ CO₂ (b) Dark CO₂ Relyea, Ecology, 9e, © 2021 W.
