Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have

evolved to minimize its occurrence.

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.

At what levels do biologists study life?
andriy [413]
Biologist study life to the extent to which they can uncover, unearth and investigate unseen, latent and concealed life forms that are still many in number, these crawling and under the water creatures. And in experimental sense, many biologists are guided by the ethics in researching life forms. This is to protect and inhibit other biologist in killing thousands of these living organisms and prevent them from becoming extinct. Remember that biologists or any other scientists study because of knowledge and to contribute to the scientific world of making the ecosystem including us into a much better and cultured place and not the opposite.

Hence, there are non-experimental and experimental approaches which are all subject to ethics. In exploring life forms, it is quite unlimited but studying life forms in experimental sense, it is somehow depends on the number of species that the biologists’ study.

Describe a horse walks along a straight path it travels 3 m in one second 4 m in the next second and 5 m in the third second des
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: The motion is accelerated.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that the horse is walking along a straight line.

The horse travels 3 m in first second, so its speed is 3m/s.

In the next second, the horse travels 4 m, so its speed is 4 m/s.

In the third second, the horse travels 5 m, so its speed is 5 m/s.

Since the speed of the horse is increasing per second i.e., the speed in not constant, so the motion of the horse is accelerated.
