Scientists studied soybean plants grown in sunlit CO concentration of 700 mol CO mol of air The CO concentration in the chambers was approximately double that of normal concentrations of environmental CO controlled environment Temperature C 25 30 35 40 45 50 chambers with a carbon dioxide Carbon Fixation mol m s 91 96 93 104 71 59 Photosynthetic rate is measured by the amount of CO exchanged in an area of leaf surface over time Scientists measured the amount of carbon fixation that occurred in the leaves of soybean plants grown at each temperature shown in the chart Soybean plants are C3 plants a Which enzyme is directly involved in this process and based on the data determine the optimum temperature range of this enzyme 1 A b Increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are correlated with increased global surface temperatures Based on the data predict how a surface temperature that continues to rise above 40 C most likely affects the amount of energy available to primary consumers in an ecosystem Provide reasoning to justify your prediction 3A C One model predicts that an increase in greenhouse gases will lead to a 2 C increase in average
