Biology

5 0

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.

Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It has two lenses, the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.
