a)the energy content of th plant will be low
b)the rate of water loss is high
c)the water content of the plant will b low
d)the energy conten of the plant will be unaffected​

Answer 1

Answer:

b is your correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct option - b) the rate of water loss is high.

When green plants perform photosynthesis at a maximum rate, the rate of water loss is high.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process of producing food in green plants. During this process, the plants convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.

The simple reaction is as follows:

Carbon dioxide + Water ---------> Glucose + Oxygen

$6CO_{2} + 6H_{2} O --------------\geg C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6O_{2}$

Thus, in the photosynthetic reaction, water is lost. If the rate of photosynthesis is at maximum, the rate of water loss will be high.

A high photosynthetic rate occurred due to the high amount of water present in the plant body. The glucose formed is a source of energy. Thus by photosynthesis, the energy content is increased. Only the water content will be lost at a high rate.
