Which of the following statements is/are correct? (1) The rate of respiration of plant X is lower than that of plant Y. (2) The maximum rate of photosynthesis of plant X is higher than that of plant Y. (3) Plant X grows better than plant Y in an environment with light intensity lower than 2 arbitrary units.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to analyze a graph that shows the net carbon dioxide uptake or release of two plants at different light intensities. It requests to determine which of the provided statements about the plants' respiration and photosynthesis rates are correct based on this graph.
Answer
(2) and (3) are correct.
The statements (2) and (3) are correct.
Answer for screen readers
The statements (2) and (3) are correct.
More Information
Statement (2) is correct as plant X has higher CO2 uptake at maximum light intensity, indicating a higher maximum photosynthesis rate. Statement (3) is correct as plant X shows net CO2 uptake at light intensities below 2 units, indicating better growth.
Tips
Pay close attention to graph axes and labels when interpreting net CO2 uptake and release in plants.
