Answer:

The correct option is d. In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes photorespiration.

Explanation:

Photorespiration is a metabolic pathway that leads to the loss of half the carbon fixed by photosynthesis, it occurs when the rubisco enzyme (which is responsible for carrying out the carbon fixation) of the Calvin cycle acts on oxygen instead of dioxide carbon. Photorespiration occurs in C3 plants, (considered C3, by the three carbon compound) when the CO2 concentration is reduced. The first step of the Calvin cycle is the fixation of carbon dioxide by rubisco, but at low concentrations of CO2, oxygen begins to be set in place. In conditions of moderate temperatures when C3 plants have enough water, the carbon dioxide supply is abundant and photorespiration is not a problem.

Explain how some hail can become baseball sized
Irina18 [472]
Basically, a droplet of water falls, freezes, and is blown back up over and over and over again without hitting the ground. Each time it keeps accumulating more water droplets that keep freezing to the growing hail stone. That's how all hail is formed. When the hail stone is too big for the winds to keep blowing it back up again, it falls. The stronger the updrafts, the bigger the hail will get before falling to the ground. That's why it takes a pretty powerful storm to make a big hail stone -- the winds have to be strong enough to blow an almost baseball-sized piece of ice back upward again for it to keep growing.
