Question
As the amount of daylight decreases in the fall and winter, processes such as cellular respiration slow down so plants can conserve energy. When this happens, what stage is the plant most likely entering?A.ProtectionB.PhotoperiodismC.Day-neutral periodD.Dormancy
Solution
The plant is most likely entering stage D. Dormancy. This is a period when a plant's growth and physical activity are temporarily stopped. This helps them to conserve energy and survive adverse weather conditions. It is often triggered by the change in seasons, such as the decrease in daylight in the fall and winter.

The diagram summarizes the steps of photosynthesis inside chloroplasts. If the plant cell the chloroplast is in does not receive enough sunlight, which event will happen first?A.An increase in the rate of the Calvin cycleB.A decrease in the rate of the Calvin cycleC.A decrease in the production of ATPD.An increase in the production of ATP
These steps need not take place one after the other immediately. For example, desert plants take up carbon dioxide at night and prepare an intermediate which is acted upon by the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll during the day.
Plants continually respire but photosynthesis requires sunlight. Explain how this produces a day-night cycle in the concentration of atmospheric CO2, seen in the video as a rapid pulsing.
