Distinguish between photosynthesis and assimilation. How are they related?
What is the advantage of a lower light compensation point (LCP) for plant species adapted to low-light environments? What is the cost of maintaining a low LCP?
What does it mean to say that life on Earth is carbon based?
For a given opening of the stomata (referred to as stomatal conductance \(),\) how will an increase in atmospheric concentrations of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) possibly influence the rate of photosynthesis? How might this effect the water-use efficiency of the plant?
