PHOTOSYNTHESIS

THE CALVIN CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which factor would not increase the production of glucose by photosynthesis in plants?
A
freezing temperatures
B
extra rainfall
C
increased carbon dioxide levels
D
increased sunlight exposure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -photosynthesis in plants is Freezing temperature. energy from the Sun to form glucose and oxygen. rainfall and increased carbondioxide levels will increase glucose production except Freezing temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Atmospheric carbon dioxide has no affect on the rate of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is affected by light, temperature, water, and CO2. Stomata affect the process of transpiration and do not affect photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Low temperature depresses the rate of photosynthesis both directly and indirectly, either by influencing the activity of photosynthetic enzymes involved in the Calvin cycle, such as Rubisco (Yamori et al., 2010), or by reducing stomatal conductance (Allen et al., 2002).

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxygen is not a limiting factor as it is never considered as an element required for photosynthesis.
