Question

Photosynthesis Powdery mildew is a fungal pathogen of many plant species. It covers the upper surface of the leaves, decreasing the amount of light that can enter the leaf cells. Draw a properly labeled and formatted graph illustrating the change in carbon dioxide uptake you would expect to see in response to powdery mildew cover. A scientist adds DCPIP, suspended chloroplasts, and phosphate buffer to each of two clear jars. She then places one jar in an open area near Bagley Pond and the other in the forested area of Bagley Nature Area. She removes these jars after 60 minutes and measures percent transmittance in the lab. Describe what you expect she will find and explain why.
