← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism shifts photosynthetic pathways when aquatic plant environments experience acidification?
A)Utilizing of C4 photosynthetic pathway✓
B)Increased photorespiration rates occur
C)Decreased Carbon Fixation by the plant
D)Enhanced CAM for carbon dioxide absorption
💡 Explanation
C4 photosynthesis provides a mechanism that concentrates CO2 around Rubisco, which becomes especially important under acidified conditions; therefore, C4 utilization increases carbon fixation because photorespiration is less favorable at high CO2, rather than other normal respiration increases.
