Question
Chapter 20, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The fixation of CO2 by plants into organic compounds should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The fixation of CO2 into organic compounds, i.e., the carbon fixation or carbon assimilation is the process of conversion of inorganic carbon-di-oxide to organic carbon compounds by the living organisms most commonly by plants through photosynthesis.

- Photosynthesis directly opposes respiration in determining how plants influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations. When a leaf is in the light, both photosynthesis and respiration are occurring simultaneously. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant that was enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The same leaf was used to collect the data in Interpret the Data in Chapter 7. Respiration is shown as a negative and photosynthesis as a positive rate of CO2 exchange. The net photosynthesis rate is the amount of CO2 (in micromoles per square meter per second) assimilated by the leaf while respiration is occurring; a positive value indicates more photosynthesis is occurring than respiration. The light exposed to the leaf is quantified as the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD); 2,000 mol/m2/s is equivalent to the amount of light occurring at midday in full Sun.
