Your classmate is trying to determine the rate of photosynthesis for a fern plant growing in his or her backyard. Your classmate wants to set it up in a way for it to have a high photosynthesis rate. Which of the following setups has the highest photosynthesis rate?
A. High intensity of light, high levels of carbon dioxide, moderate temperature level
B. Low intensity of light, medium levels of carbon dioxide, low temperature level
C. Medium intensity of light, low levels of carbon dioxide, extremely high temperature level
D. High intensity of light, low levels of carbon dioxide, high temperature level
Answers
Answer:
absolutely no. A)high intensity of light, high level of CO2,moderate temperature level
Answer:
Temperature, light and CO2 all affect the growth of plants.
Explanation:
In Photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and add oxygen into the atmosphere/air. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria.
For photosynthesis plants need light energy from the sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide from air. Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere through tiny pores in the leaves of plants called stomata. The leaves also contain chloroplasts which holds chlorophyll converting light energy into chemical energy.
Without enough light a plant cannot photosynthesise properly. Even if there is water, carbon dioxide and a appropriate temperature. If carbon dioxide is high and temperature increases too photosynthesis increases likewise. Hence A. High intensity of light, high levels of carbon dioxide, moderate temperature level is the correct setup.
