31
Q

The graph shows the effect of increasing light intensity on the rate of CO2 uptake by
a species of green plant maintained in conditions of constant temperature and CO2
concentration.
Which statement is consistent with the graph?

A

cell respiration leads to net production of carbon dioxide at low light intensity

32
Q
