Question

1. predict what would happen to the rate of photosynthesis if the stomata were not opening as frequently. a) rate would increase due to more rubisco present b) rate would increase due to more water present c) rate would decrease due to less carbon dioxide present d) rate would decrease due to less rubisco present

Explanation:

Las estomas son estructuras en las hojas que permiten el intercambio de gases. El dióxido de carbono es un reactivo esencial para la fotosíntesis. Si las estomas no se abren con frecuencia, menos dióxido de carbono entrará a la planta, lo que disminuiría la tasa de fotosíntesis.

Answer:

C. rate would decrease due to less carbon dioxide present
