Increasing the temperature of the reaction will always increase the rate, though the actual yield will depend on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Increasing the pressure of the... Read More

What characterizes the rates of photosynthesis and transport in a plant on a dry cloudy day?
Both the photosynthesis and transpiration rates are low.
Which plant does highest photosynthesis?
Transpiration rates increase in a plant when the stomata are open. In desert plants, the stomata are very small but are almost always open. They have the highest transpiration rate.
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis when the CO2 levels exceed 3 percent?
Photosynthetic rates could increase if a commensurate increase in photons per lea f area also increases, or is a a high enough level.
Would transpiration in cacti be high or low?
Low, so that there would be less moisture lost. Because of the fact that there is not an abundance of water in the desert environment, Cacti require low transpiration. They do this by having smaller amounts of stomata. I would double check on that using other resources, but it is a fairly simple concept. Cacti need to hold in more water than other plants so they have lower transpiration rates. :)
What is the life cycle of a water?
You'll find the hydrological cycle hard at work high in our atmosphere as well as several kilometers below the earth's surface. The cycle operates through a number of natural processes scientists call evaporation, transpiration and precipitation. Evaporation describes the change from water as a liquid to water as a vapor. Water evaporated from ocean surfaces combines with water evaporated from freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes and streams to produce clouds. The clouds, in turn, produce precipitation, 78 percent of which falls back into oceans while the remaining 22 percent falls back on land. Transpiration, on the other hand, is the loss of water by plants. Transpiration rates depend upon temperature, humidity and wind speed conditions near the leaves of plants. And since plants draw water from the soil, transpiration rates can greatly effect soil moisture content. Soil water loss resulting from both transpiration and evaporation is called evapotranspiration.

What adaptations would not reduce the rate of transpiration in plants?
If the stomata are at a serious deficiency in sclerenchyma cells, at which point the general diffusion of potassium ions decreases incredibly. This would result in an adaptation that would adversely decrease the chance of a reduction in transpiration rates.

Photosynthetic rates could increase if a commensurate increase in photons per lea f area also increases, or is a a high enough level.

Do all plant tissues have the same rate of photosynthesis?
The degree of stomatal openings in plant leaves is influenced by how turgid (rigid) the plants guard cells are. When a plant is subjected to substancial light, ions are pumped into the guard cells. The more ions (hence light) means the larger the stoma will open. When the stoma is opened, water and nutrients from the plants roots (osmosis) travel up the plants xylem and is lost through evaporation at the stoma. this is called transiration. the larger the stomatal opening, the higher the transpiration (water travelling) rate. the stoma opens for photosynthesis (intake of CO2) and at the same time water is lost. to save water the stoma does not open at night when there is no sunlight for photosynthesis. So to answer the question, transpiration rate in plants will increase when subjected to higher light intensities and slow when there is no light.
What is the primary source of oxygen?
Plants: they take in CO2 during photosynthesis and give off oxygen. The rainforests are a major help, but are being cut down at very fast rates.

How do different pigments colors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The wavelength of a color is directly related to the rate of photosynthesis, with longer wavelengths leading to higher rates of photosynthesis.
What is the relationship between demand for money and interest rates?
as interest rates increase, demand for money increases.
