A. C3 only
B. C4 only
C. Either C3 or CAM
D. Either C3 or C4
2. Based on your experiments with water potentials, which tree would be least likely to experience water stress?
A. A tree whose roots are in concentrated salt water.
B. A tree whose roots are fully exposed to air.
C. A tree whose roots are surrounded by wet sand.
D. A tree whose trunk is unusually tall.
Explanation / Answer
1. Plants where light independent reactions take place in the same cell as light dependent reactions (mesophyll cell) are using C4 kind of photosynthesis.In ext C_4C4?C, start subscript, 4, end subscript plants, the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle are physically separated, with the light-dependent reactions occurring in the mesophyll cells (spongy tissue in the middle of the leaf) and the Calvin cycle occurring in special cells around the leaf veins. These cell are known as bundle sheath cell.
2. Based on our experiments with water potential. A tree whose roots are in concentrated salt water, this type tree would be least likely to experience water stress.
