Answer;

Hot & Dry conditions

Explanation;

-C4 is the alternative pathway of Calvin cycle (C3 cycle) taking place during the dark phase (light-independent stage) of photosynthesis. In the C4 cycle the first stable compound is 4 carbon compound, namely oxaloacetic acid. Hence it is called C4 cycle. It is a process of carbon dioxide fixation.

-C3 plants have the disadvantage that in hot dry conditions their photosynthetic efficiency suffers because of a process called photorespiration. When the CO2 concentration in the chloroplasts drops below about 50 ppm, the catalyst rubisco that helps to fix carbon begins to fix oxygen instead.

-The problem of photorespiration is overcome in C4 plants by a two-stage strategy that keeps CO2 high and oxygen low in the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle operates.

Hot & Dry conditions.. Because C4 cycle is used in reducing the loss of water during hot seasons.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The aerotaxis movement experiment performed by the Theodor W. Engelmann played an important role in understanding the photosynthesis.

The experiment was performed on the <em>Spirogyra </em>filamentous algae which were exposed to a different wavelength of light.

The other aerobic bacteria present in the test tubes started moving and accumulated near the two regions of the <em>Spirogyra</em> where they were exposed to the blue and red light of the VIBGYOR.

The region receiving red and blue light produced more oxygen through photosynthesis which indicated that these two wavelengths of the light are more active for photosynthesis than any other wavelengths.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
