unit 2 exam 2025-26
if carbon dioxide is completely removed from a plants environment, what would you expect to happen to the plants production of
more sugars will be produced
no sugars will be produced.
the same number of sugars will be produced but without carbon dioxide.
carbon dioxide does not affect the production of high - energy sugars in plants.

Explanation:

Plants produce sugars through photosynthesis, in which carbon - dioxide is a key reactant. Without carbon dioxide, the Calvin cycle (the light - independent reactions of photosynthesis) cannot occur, and thus no sugars can be produced.

Answer:

No sugars will be produced.
