What will happen to the photosynthetic process if a plant leaf loses CO2 too quickly?
a. Photosynthesis will increase exponentially.
b. Photosynthesis will decrease and then increase.
c. There will be no effect on the rate of photosynthesis.
d. Photosynthesis will slow down or stop possibly.

Respuesta :

The answers should be D as long as the rate of photosynthesis is based on Co2 concentration/ temperature/ and light

The correct answer as to what will happen to the photosynthetic process if a plant leaf loses CO2 too quickly is that photosynthesis will slow down or stop totally in the leaf. The correct option would be D.

During photosynthesis, CO2 is fixed into carbohydrate in the present of sunlight by green plant. The equation can be summarized as follows:

[tex]6CO_2 + 6H_2O ---> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

Thus, CO2 represents an important reactant in the photosynthetic process. Therefore, if the leaf of a plant loses CO2 too quickly, the compound will become a limiting reagent in the photosynthetic reaction and the process will slow down or even stop completely.
