Answer

Bob described the mesosphere and Joe described the asthenosphere.

Explanation

The three layers of earth are uppermost crust, middle mantle, and an innermost core.

The mantle of the earth has semifluid asthenosphere that is present below the lithospheric mantle. The rocks are in the semi-molten stage due to the higher temperature and pressure conditions.

The deepest part of the mantle is the mesosphere. Hence, Bob described the mesosphere and Joe described the asthenosphere.

<h2>Bob described the mesosphere and Joe described the asthenosphere.</h2>

The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer and is always in motion. This movement is caused by the heat in Earth and creates convection currents. Convection currents are circular movements based on temperature and density. The heat from deep inside Earth heats up the semi-fluid particles of the asthenosphere. These particles then become less dense and rise. As they rise to the bottom of the crust, they cool off, become denser, and move back toward the core. Back at the core, their temperature will increase again, causing this circular motion to continue.

The mesosphere is the lower mantle (deepest part of the Earth's middle layer). It is a solid layer about 2,250 kilometers thick and around 2,500 degrees Celsius.

As temperatures increase, gases such as CO2 diffuse faster. As a result, plant leaves will lose CO2 at a faster rate than normal

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

If the amount of light reaching a leaf and the water supply is adequate in the face of inadequate carbon dioxide, the <u>latter becomes a limiting reagent in the process of photosynthesis. </u>

The process of photosynthesis has two steps

1. The light reaction

2. The light-independent reaction/the Calvin cycle

<em>Carbon dioxide is only required in the second step which is the Calvin cycle. This means that the light reaction proceeds at a normal rate but the Calvin cycle is slowed due to inadequate carbon dioxide. Overall, the rate of photosynthesis becomes limited to the amount of carbon dioxide that is available in the leaf.</em>

F. F. Blackman performed experiments to investigate the effects of various factors on photosynthesis. In one of his experiments,

Answer:

Light was a limiting factor for photosynthesis under the given conditions. Light is required for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to Blackman's principle of limiting factors, the rate of photosynthesis is regulated by the factor which is present below the minimal value. Photosynthesis is regulated by many factors such as CO2 concentration, temperature, light intensity, etc. However, under particular conditions, the factor present below the minimum levels regulate its rate.

In the experiment, when the light intensity was present below its minimum levels, an increase in the light intensity increased the rate of photosynthesis. Here, light intensity was the limiting factor and no other factors such as CO2 or temperature would affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Once the light intensity reaches its optimal levels, other factors become limiting and there is no further increase in the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the light intensity.
