12.

A researcher claims that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels cause increased growth rates in plants.

a)

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, which is a metabolic process that occurs in plants and other living organisms.

b)

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of fossil fuels, which are formed from the remains of living organisms such as plants.

c)

Atmospheric carbon dioxide typically enters plant leaves through stomata, which plants rely on for regulating gas exchange with the atmosphere.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the raw material for photosynthesis, which plants rely on for producing sugars and other organic compounds

13.

Please look at the picture being displayed. Photosynthesis is solar powered chemical reaction that involves numerous enzymes and ultimately produces the stored energy molecules called carbohydrates. What can be inferred from the following data table about the conditions that are favorable for the process of photosynthesis and carbohydrate production?

a)

The rate of photosynthesis is directly related to the temperature of the environment and the amount of Carbon Dioxide that is available to the photosynthetic organism, but the amount of light is unrelated to the rate

b)

The rate of photosynthesis is inversely related to the amount of light present, the temperature of the environment, and the amount of Carbon Dioxide that is available to the photosynthetic organism.

c)

The rate of photosynthesis is directly related to the to the amount of light present and the amount of carbon Dioxide that available, but the temperature of the environment is unrelated to the rate.

d)

The rate of photosynthesis is directly related to the amount of light present, the temperature of the environment, and the amount of Carbon Dioxide that is available to the photosynthetic organism
