If carbon dioxide is completely removed from a plant’s environment, what would you expect to happen to the plant’s production of high-energy sugars (rate of photosynthesis)?
|
|
Sugar production will likely increase.
|
|
|
Sugars will not be produced.
|
|
|
The rate of sugar production will decrease .
|
|
|
Fewer sugars will be produced at first, but then the plant will recover.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The same number of sugars will be produced but without carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide does not affect the production of high-energy sugars in plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -The leaves contain green pigment known as chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight. The tiny pores present in the leaves helps in gaseous exchange in the leaves. They take carbon dioxide from the outer environment and release oxygen to the environment. Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis.
