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.

Answer:
Active genotype - environmental effects
Explanation:
There are primarily three types of co-relation between genotype and environment which are as follows –
a) Passive genotype –environment effect – This depicts the relationship between the genetic characteristics acquired by a child from his/her parents and the environment in which he/she is raised.
b) Reactive genotype –environment effect – This represents a relationship between genetically acquired behaviour from parents and the reaction corresponding to such behaviour.
c) Active genotype –environment effect – This represents a relationship between genetic tendency of an individual and the environment condition selected by an individual .
Answer:
Major difference between active transport and facilitated difusion is:
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through the plasma membrane.
Explanation:
- Active transport involves the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
- Since molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration this mode of transport needs energy.
- Facilitated diffusion do not require energy but need some other molecule or carrier protein to transport the molecules across the membranes.
- In facilitated diffusion, the molecules move from their region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
120N because F =ma. You just multiply the mass and the acceleration.
