Explanation:

<u>A.light intensity</u>

<u />

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen

At the compensation point, the rate of CO2 production by respiration matches the rate of CO2 utilization in photosynthesis- there is no net CO2 production . Since photosynthesis is rate limited, the rate of energy intake can be reduced in order to reach the compensation point; lowering the light intensity would slow the rate of photolysis and thus photosynthesis. Similarly, an increase in light intensity

  • increases the rate of photosynthesis- the CO2 level would be reduced as more inorganic CO2 is fixed, together with producing O2 as waste.
  • would increase the temperature of the environment- light energy is converted to heat energy which increases temperature.
  • lead to higher levels of humidity- the heightened temperature increases the rate of evaporation of water from tissues, and thus increases the humidity (water vapor content of the surrounding air)

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside. Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

Certain types of ________ have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Answer is C. Bacteria

Certain types of bacteria have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but plants cannot use it because of the absence of a necessary enzyme, nitrogenase, which converts nitrogen into a usable form.  So they form a symbiotic relationship (mutually-beneficial arrangement) with nitrogen fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia) which perform biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is a process in which the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria coverts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and organic derivatives that plants can use to synthesize proteins.  This bacteria form nodules on the roots of plants like legumes in which nitrogen fixation takes place.

Both plants and bacteria benefit from this symbiotic relationship, as the plant obtains ammonia to synthesize proteins from nitrogen in the atmosphere while bacteria obtain carbon compounds from the plant produced through photosynthesis and a secure environment to grow. As the plant roots leave behind some of the usable form of nitrogen in the soil, this process also increase soil fertility.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

a) If the electron transport protein is disrupted in the chloroplast then ATP production will not occur. ATP is required for the light-independent process like in the calving cycle by which carbohydrate production takes place. Therefore disruption in electron transport chain will reduce the production of carbohydrates and cellular respiration will also decrease.

b) The effect will be not good on the individual plant because ATP is important for the cell to grow and remain metabolically active and fit. Therefore this virus will hinder the growth and repairability of plant and would weaken the plant.
