What type of trait shows a blending of two traits? For example, a rabbit

Organic compound is generally any chemical compound that contains carbon. Due to carbon's ability to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. Study of the properties and synthesis of organic compounds is the discipline known as organic chemistry. For historical reasons, a few classes of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., carbonates and cyanides), along with a handful of other exceptions (e.g., carbon dioxide), are not classified as organic compounds and are considered inorganic. No consensus exists among chemists on precisely which carbon-containing compounds are excluded, making the definition of an organic compound elusive.[1]Although organic compounds only make up a small percentage of the Earth's crust, they are of central importance because all known life is based on organic compounds. Most synthetically produced organic compounds are ultimately derived from petrochemicalsconsisting mainly of hydrocarbons.

Explanation:

-The increased light intensity increased the rate of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water. Since photosynthesis is rate limited, the rate of energy intake can be increased in order to speed up photosynthesis, by speeding up photolysis.

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

These end products, namely O2 and glucose are then used in respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

The CO2 and H2O produced as waste in respiration can then be incorporated at the beginning of photosynthesis. Thus the reactions are cyclic- they feed into each other.

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.

Respiration and photorespiration both utilize oxygen for;

the production of ATP via the oxidization of pyruvate;
and the oxygenation of the molecule Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic molecule also used in photosynthesis, to form 3-PGA + phosphoglycolic acid,

∴ the rate of CO2 usage for photosynthesis where O2 is produced, outpaces the rate of O2 use in respiration and photorespiration.
