- B, C and D
Question 7.
Recalling Joseph Priestley's famous experiment in which a sprig of mint saved the life of a mouse in a sealed chamber, you decide to do an analogous experiment to see how a C3 and a C4 plant do when confined together in a sealed environment.
You place a corn plant (C4) and a geranium (C3) in a sealed plastic chamber with normal air (300 parts per million CO2) on a windowsill in your laboratory.
Which of the following outcome is likely to be true?
You place a corn plant (C4) and a geranium (C3) in a sealed plastic chamber with normal air (300 parts per million CO2) on a windowsill in your laboratory.
Which of the following outcome is likely to be true?
