Q

How could a light absorbance at 0 (compensation point) be observed

A
  • at the compensation point rate of PS = rate of RESP
  • the uptake of CO2 by the Calvin cycle is equal to its release of CO2 through the link reaction and Krebs cycle
  • absorbance=0 because there is no change in indicator colour as there is no change in concentration of dissolved CO2 and pH
