Question

in actively growing young plants ,the best data for estimating the rate of photosynthesis would be ? a.increase in fresh weight b. increase in dry weight c. increase in carbo hydrat.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbohydrates are divided into four types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides consist of a simple sugar; that is, they have the chemical formula C6H12O6. Disaccharides are two simple sugars.

Answer 2

Estimating the rate of photosynthesis

Explanation:

• A ratio of oxygen evolved to carbon dioxide absorbed.

• There are several different methods of measuring the rate of photosynthesis. This may include:

1. the rate of oxygen output
2. the rate of carbon dioxide uptake
3. the rate of carbohydrate production

• However, these methods are not considered as perfect methods, due to the reason that plant will also be respiring, which will use up some oxygen and carbohydrate and increase carbon dioxide output.

• Since, this is most widely used method to estimate the rate of photosynthesis, we can consider A ratio of oxygen evolved to carbon dioxide absorbed, as the most appropriate answer.
