Why are finches important to Darwin's idea?

It helps to give solid evidence of natural selection. The idea is that there are a number of finches in the Galapagos Islands. These birds vary slightly in appearance, in the function of their beaks and in size. Two species can eventually alter themselves because of the environmental conditions they live in. Some traits will be passed on or developed in one group and not in the other or vica versa. These finches are remarkable in that it did not take long for the changes to take place. It is probably one of the strongest reasons for believing in natural selection, because only those birds who could adapt to change could easily pass on these advantages to their offspring. The relatively short period of time to enact these changes is what makes the this example  so attractive.

What would be the expected effect on plants if the atmospheric CO2 concentration was doubled? What would be the expected effect
Elis [28]

Answer:

C3 plants would have faster growth rates; C4 plants would be minimally affected.

Explanation:

C3 and C4 pathways are the variations of dark reactions of photosynthesis present in green plants. The photosynthetic efficiency of C3 plants is reduced due to the affinity of RuBisCo enzyme for oxygen which in turn leads to the futile pathway of photorespiration. RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction of the C3 pathway. On the other hand, the C4 plants concentrate CO2 around RuBisCo in their bundle sheath cells of leaves to minimize photorespiration and exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis.

Increased levels of atmospheric CO2 would reduce the photorespiration in C3 plants and would allow them to fix CO2 efficiently due to the increased concentration of CO2 around the enzyme RuBisCo. The increased photosynthetic efficiency would help these plants to exhibit faster growth rates.

However, the photosynthetic rate of C4 plants is not limited by CO2 concentration as they themselves reduce photorespiration by spatial separation of primary carboxylation in mesophyll cell and CO2 fixation in bundle sheath cells. Hence, increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere would not have any impact on their photosynthetic rate and growth.
