Crops such as tomatoes and bell pepper, allowed to grow in a carbon dioxide rich environment, show higher yields because:
1. | They show an increased rate of photosynthesis at higher carbon dioxide concentrations. |
2. | They can respond to high carbon dioxide conditions even in low light conditions. |
3. | They show C4 pathway for carbon fixation at high carbon dioxide is the limiting factor in such plants. |
4. | Only carbon dioxide is the limiting factor in such plants. |
