A plant is grown in a sealed container that does not have carbon dioxide inside of it. What explanation BEST describes what will happen with cells of the plant over time? A. The lack of carbon dioxide will increase the rate of photosynthesis within the cell. B. The lack of carbon dioxide prevents the cycling of matter and energy by photosynthesis. C. The lack of carbon dioxide prevents the cycling of matter and energy by cellular respiration. D. The lack of carbon dioxide has no effect on the cycling of matter and energy by photosynthesis.

The lack of carbon dioxide prevents the cycling of matter and energy by cellular respiration. D. The lack of carbon dioxide has no effect on the cycling of matter and energy by photosynthesis.

Answer 1

B. The lack of carbon dioxide prevents the cycling of matter and energy by photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Without carbon dioxide, photosynthesis cannot occur, disrupting the cycling of matter and energy within the plant cells. Cellular respiration, however, primarily requires oxygen and glucose.
