The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which greenhouse crops respond to higher CO2 concentrations and are considered C3 plants, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding C3 Plants**: - C3 plants utilize the Calvin cycle for photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide (CO2) is fixed into a three-carbon compound. They are known to respond positively to increased CO2 levels, leading to higher productivity. 2. **Identifying Greenhouse Conditions**: - Greenhouse crops typically require controlled conditions, including higher CO2 concentrations and elevated temperatures, to maximize growth and yield. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - We need to analyze the provided options to identify which pairs of plants are known to thrive in greenhouse conditions. 4. **Analyzing Each Pair**: - **Option 1: Maize and Tomato**: - Maize is primarily a C4 plant and prefers rainy conditions, while tomato is a C3 plant that thrives in warm conditions. - **Option 2: Bell Pepper and Sorghum**: - Bell pepper is a C3 plant that grows well in warm conditions, but sorghum is typically a C4 plant suited for drier climates. - **Option 3: Maize and Sorghum**: - Both are C4 plants and not suitable for greenhouse conditions. - **Option 4: Bell Pepper and Tomato**: - Both are C3 plants that thrive in higher temperatures and respond well to increased CO2 levels, making them suitable greenhouse crops. 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: - Based on the analysis, the correct option is **Bell Pepper and Tomato** as both are C3 plants that benefit from higher CO2 concentrations in greenhouse environments. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Bell Pepper and Tomato**. ---
