Question

level of co2 saturation in bell pepper ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

nutrient amount DRI/DV; (%)

Protein 0.91 g 2

Carbohydrates 5.55 g 2

Answer 2

At high light intensities C₃ plants like bell pepper show saturation only beyond 450 ppm of CO₂ concentration.

• The C₄ and C₃ plants respond differently to CO₂ concentration. At low light intensities, neither type responds to high CO₂ concentration.
• At high light intensities, both C₄ and C₃ plants are found to show an increase in photosynthesis rate.
• The saturation point shown by C₃ plants is at about "360 ppm", while C₄ plants show saturation only beyond "450 ppm", thus, the current concentration of CO₂ is limiting for C₃ plants.
• As C₃ plants respond to higher CO₂ concentration by showing an increased rate of photosynthesis which again leads to higher productivity.
• This property has been applied for the production of greenhouse crops like tomatoes and bell pepper.
• These crops are grown in CO₂ enriched atmosphere leading to higher yields (CO₂ fertilization effect).
