Question 134 please explain
Solution:
Ans. Option b) is correct: Z > Y
C4 photosynthetic pathway makes sure that the minimum loss of water occur for the maximum CO2 fixed. For same amount of CO2 fixed, a C4 plant loses only half the amount of water lost by a C3 plant.
Ans. Option b) is correct: Z > Y
C4 photosynthetic pathway makes sure that the minimum loss of water occur for the maximum CO2 fixed. For same amount of CO2 fixed, a C4 plant loses only half the amount of water lost by a C3 plant.
C4 plants have adaptation that help to keep the stomata closed more than being opened to prevent loss of water, same time making the CO2 concentration at enzyme site sufficient so that photorespiration is prevented and photosynthesis occur smoothly.
