Answer:
Bell pepper is a C3 plant.
Explanation:
- On Earth, most plant species use a type of photosynthesis called C3 in which the initial carbon molecule is made up of three carbon atoms.
- In this process, carbon dioxide enters a plant through its stomata (the tiny pores on its leaves), where the Calvin-Benson cycle and the enzyme Rubisco work together to fix carbon in sugar.
- Two major limitations, nevertheless, hinder photosynthesis.
- Rubisco is designed to fix carbon dioxide, but it also has the ability to fix oxygen molecules, producing a dangerous two-carbon compound.
- C3 plants are at a disadvantage in drought and high-temperature settings because when stomata are open to let carbon dioxide in, they also let water vapor out.
Hence, option (D) is correct.
