With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration up to can enhance CO2 fixation rate.
C3 plants respond to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while C4 plants have much lower temperature optimum.
Tomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in CO2 ā enriched atmosphere for higher yield.
Light saturation for CO2 fixation occurs at of full sunlight.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement regarding factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis:Option 1: Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration up to 0.5% can enhance CO2 fixation rate. - This statement is correct. Increasing CO2 concentration can enhance the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point, as CO2 is a substrate for the Calvin cycle.Option 2: C3 plants respond to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while C4 plants have much lower temperature optimum. - This statement is incorrect. C3 plants generally have a lower temperature optimum compared to C4 plants. C4 plants are adapted to higher temperatures and have a higher temperature optimum for photosynthesis.Option 3: Tomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in CO2 ā enriched atmosphere for higher yield. - This statement is correct. Tomatoes can benefit from CO2 enrichment in greenhouses, leading to increased photosynthetic rates and higher yields.Option 4: Light saturation for CO2 fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight. - This statement is correct. Light saturation for photosynthesis can occur at relatively low light intensities, often around 10% of full sunlight, depending on the plant species.Therefore, the statement that is not correct is Option 2.The correct answer is Option 2.
