← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome arises when increased salt concentration inhibits Rubisco in plant cells?
A)Reduction in photosynthetic efficiency✓
B)Increased synthesis of chlorophyll pigments
C)Enhanced carbon dioxide uptake via stomata
D)Stimulation of nitrogen fixation enzymes
💡 Explanation
When salt concentration increases, Rubisco's active site is disrupted by altered ion interactions causing reduced binding efficiency, resulting in reduction in carbon fixation, leading leading to decreased photosynthetic efficiency. Therefore photosynthetic slowdown arises, rather than other effects that would enhance photosynthesis.
