With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
Light saturation for CO2 fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration upto 0.05% can enhance CO2 fixation rate
C3 plants responds to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while C4 plants have much lower temperature optimum
Tomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in CO2 - enriched atmosphere for higher yield
As discussed in
Photorespiration -
A process in plant metabolism where enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, causing some of the energy produced by photosynthesis to be wasted.
- wherein
O2 enters Calvin cycle instead of Co2 this results in reduced rate of photosynthesis.
Rate of photosynthesis is plants is decreased at higher temperature due to photorespiration.
