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.

Can anyone give a help with this please I have to submit it tomorrow!!
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(

Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.

Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.

Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.

Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets

Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.

Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.

which of the following events is most likely to result in conditions suitable for primary succession?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

An earthquake , a forest fire , a hurricane  and a volcanic eruption.

Explanation:

An earthquake , a forest fire , a hurricane  and a volcanic eruption are the events that is responsible for the suitable conditions for primary succession because all the population of animals and vegetation are removed from an area and the new type of organisms is start to living in that new environment. These new organism has the ability to survive that environmental conditions. These events completely removed the population in the environment and provides conditions for primary succession.
