The rate of O₂ production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour

ce for O₂ formation. Thus, lower light levels generally mean a lower rate of O₂ production. In addition, lower light levels also affect the rate of CO₂ uptake by the Calvin cycle. This is because the Calvin cycle needs the ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions. In this way, the Calvin cycle depends on the light reactions. But is the inverse true as well? Do the light reactions depend on the Calvin cycle?

Answer:

No, the light-dependent reactions doesn´t depend on the Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

While the Calvin cycle produces ADP and NADP+, both of which are photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions, there is another carbon cycle, called PHOTORESPIRATION, in which the enzyme RuBisCO (RuBP oxygenase-carboxylase), OXYGENATES RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate), instead of the CARBOXYLATION OF RuBP (the normal Calvin Cycle), releasing 3CO2 and spending ATP and NADPH (produced by the light-dependent reactions), thus, providing the ADP and NADP+ photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions.

PHOTORESPIRATION results in a NET LOSS of fixated carbon, and is activated by certain conditions like HIGH TEMPERATURE and LOWER CO2 AVAILABILITY (due to CLOSED STOMATA as a response to droughts). However, the main functions of this system are not clear. It may be involved in nitrate assimilation, free radicals regulation, plant growth, homeostasis of plant cells, among others.

An annual mustard plant survives only one month during which it produces 50 flowers. each flower produces a fruit containing 20
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Replacement rate

Explanation:

In biology, replacement level or replacement rate refers to the amount number of offspring required to be produced to keep the level of population at a stable state without causing it to much decease.

Scientists use the replacement rate of plant and animal specie to assess the rate at which the population is reproducing at a stable level or are at some threshold zone and need to be taken care of.

Here in question, we see that some specific properties of mustard plants are focused that, plant survives only one month during which it produces 50 flowers. each flower produces a fruit containing 20 seeds.

It clearly do not depicts the population size of mustard plant, or niche or fitness, it just describe the replacement rate that how many offspring does mustard plant produce to keep its population at a stable or steady state without being getting into a danger of extinction.

Hope it help!
