Describe two distinct aspects on how photorespiration can adversely impact life on the planet.
Volgvan

Answer:

<u>photorespiration </u>also called as the <u>photosynthesis </u>of plant metabolisms,

Explanation:

  • Green plants use enzymes and carbon dioxide on sunlight to create oxygen through this process by recycling of carbon and nitrogen as ammonia.
  • Conditions that impact the process are the lowering of Carbon dioxide and the increase in Oxygen in air, another aspect is the rise in temperature that determines the presence of these gases.
  • Thus reducing the concentration of carbon and increasing oxygen in the chloroplast. Reducing the amount of photorespiration does not result in increased growth rates of plants. Photorespiration increases the availability of nitrates in the soil which can increase carbon dioxide in the air and increase pant growth.
  • The deficient in photorespiratory enzymes can be characterized by a high level of fat in the cell and impaired stomatal regulation in plants.

Find the volume of 1 ft 3 ft and 2 ft
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: 6 ft.

To find volume use the formula L×W×H

L = Length

W = Width

H = Height

Note: Finding the area and the volume <em>IS NOT </em>the same. Fidning the area means you find L×W. Finding the Volume means you find L×W×H. The only common thing area and volume have is multiplying.

So use the formula to multiply.

<u>Multiply the Length to the Width</u>

1×3=3

<u>Multiply the Width to the Height</u>

3×2=6

That is how 6 is the answer. Multiply Length to the Width then Width to the Height.

Note: Finding the volume means you find L×W×H

Note: Finding the area means you find L×W
