A plant with low CO2 compensation point is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Atriplex patula
The point where the rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration it is known as compensation point. At this point, the uptake of CO2 through photosynthetic pathways is exactly matched to the respiratory release of carbon dioxide and the uptake of O2 by respiration is exactly matched to the photosynthetic release of oxygen. Atriplex is a C4 plant and thus lacks photorespiration. So, the carbon dioxide compensation point is low in Atriplex.
