    With reference to factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, which of the following statements is not correct?                                                                                                                                                               

    A)  Tomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in \[C{{O}_{2}}-\]enriched atmosphere for higher yield

    B)  Light saturation for\[C{{O}_{2}}\] fixation occurs at 10% of full sunlight

    C)  Increasing atmospheric \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration upto 0.05% can enhance \[C{{O}_{2}}\] fixation rate

    D) \[{{C}_{3}}\] plants responds to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while \[{{C}_{4}}\] plants have much lower temperature optimum

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     In\[{{C}_{3}}\] plants photosynthesis is decreased at higher temperature due to increased photorespiration. \[{{C}_{4}}\]plants have higher temperature optimum because of the presence of pyruvate phosphate dikinase enzyme, which is sensitive to low temperature.
