With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
- AIncreasing atmospheric concentration upto can enhance fixation rate
- Bplants respond to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while plants have much lower temperature optimum
- CTomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in - enriched atmosphere for higher yield
- DLight saturation for fixation occurs at of full sunlight
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Statement B is incorrect. plants are adapted to tropical climates and have a higher temperature optimum (around –) compared to plants (around –). plants often suffer from photorespiration at higher temperatures, which reduces their photosynthetic efficiency.
