Rubisco is the enzyme that catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle.

Rubisco is the enzyme that catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle.

Tea Tree oil is well-known for its strong antimicrobial properties.

Survival of the fittest explains how plants adapt to their environment over time, with those best suited to their conditions surviving and reproducing.

Allopatric speciation occurs when new species develop from a common ancestor due to geographic isolation, leading to reproductive isolation.

Speciation is the evolutionary concept that explains the development of new species from a common ancestor.

Convergent evolution explains the development of similar traits in unrelated species due to similar environmental pressures.

Speciation is the evolutionary process through which new plant species arise from a common ancestor.

Speciation is the evolutionary process through which new species arise from a common ancestor.

Convergent evolution explains the similarities between unrelated species that adapt to similar environments.

Speciation is the evolutionary process through which new species arise from a common ancestor.

All of these factors can limit the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants.

Soil pH does not directly affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Soil pH does not directly affect the rate of photosynthesis; it affects plant health indirectly.

Oxygen is released as a byproduct of the light reactions of photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide is consumed during the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants during photosynthesis to produce glucose.

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Gymnosperms are characterized by having seeds but no flowers.

Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants that do not form flowers or fruits, unlike angiosperms.

Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that include conifers.

Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are considered the most evolutionarily advanced due to their complex reproductive structures and mechanisms.

Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are considered the most evolutionarily advanced due to their complex reproductive structures.

Ferns exhibit a dominant sporophyte generation, which is the diploid phase that produces spores.

Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants that include conifers, which produce seeds that are not enclosed in an ovary.

Abscisic acid is the hormone that signals stomata to close in response to water stress, reducing water loss.

Blue light is most effective for photosynthesis as it is absorbed efficiently by chlorophyll.

Using cuttings is a form of asexual reproduction where a part of the plant is used to grow a new individual.

Asexual reproduction, such as cuttings or grafting, allows farmers to produce genetically identical plants with desirable traits.

Asexual reproduction in plants often involves the use of spores, which can develop into new individuals.
