The graph below shows the relation between light intensity and the giving off and taking up of carbon dioxide by the leaves of a plant. Why is most carbon dioxide given off when the light intensity is zero units? |
|
a) |
Because it is just the start of the experiment |
b) |
Only respiration is taking place at this intensity of light |
c) |
Only photosynthesis is taking place at this intensity of light |
d) |
The rate of photosynthesis is equivalent to the rate of respiration |
