Botany - Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Question with Solution | TestHub
Assertion : The atmospheric concentration of at which photosynthesis just compensates for respiration is referred to as compensation point Reason: The compensation point is reached when the amount of uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of in the atmosphere is more than that required for achi eving compensation point.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
At very low concentration photosynthesis is strongly limited by the 1 ow while respiratory rates are unaffected. As a result there is a negative balance between fixed by photosynthesis and produced by respiration and a net efflux of from the plant. By increasing the atmospheric concentration of at which photosynthesis just compensate for respiration is referred to as compensation point.
