Can tomato plants show photo respiration?
No, tomato plants do not undergo photorespiration. Photorespiration is a process that occurs in C3 plants, where oxygen is mistakenly used instead of carbon dioxide in the initial steps of photosynthesis. However, tomato plants are classified as C4 plants, which have evolved mechanisms to minimize photorespiration.
Is photorespiration independent of light intensity?
Photorespiration occurs in dry situations, where there is intense light. Desert plants are a great example. Therefore, no, photorespiration is not independent of light intensity.
What is the process called that allows gases in and out of plants?
Gases enter plants through the Stomata, microscopic mouth like structures on the bottoms of leaves, for the purpose of inhaling CO2 for Photorespiration.
Do plants need light to respire?
No, in fact most respiration plants perform occurs at night. There is a form with sunlight, called photorespiration, but its performed rarely as photosynthesis is more common.
What 3 factors determine what kinds of plants grow in a particular grasslands?
pruning, poor sunlight and deficient soil conditons.

What are some ways plants?
Plants have adapted to avoid photorespiration

How do you increase photorespiration?
There is no need to increase photorespiration . It is an injurious process for plants . It is increased by strong sun light and high temperature as it happens at mid day .It specially happens in tropical regions .
Why C4 plants able to photosynthesize with no apparent photorespiration?
the use PEP carboxylase to initially fix CO2
What happens to the plant if it is deficient in phosphates?
potassium deficient plants have brown scorched blooking leaves
What will happen if the soil is deficient of plant nutrients?
The plants will not grow as well, as large, or as healthy as they would otherwise. The crop yield will probably be lower as well.

What has the author Israel Zelitch written?
Israel Zelitch has written: 'Photosynthesis, photorespiration, and plant productivity' -- subject(s): Photosynthesis, Plants, Respiration
Why insectivorous plants grow on mineral deficient soil?
Insectivorous plants (flycatcher, sundew and slug catcher, to name only three) can grow in nutrient (mineral) deficient soils because they can catch insects and absorb the insect's nutrients.
