A

Light saturation for `CO_2` fixation occurs at 10% full sunlight .

B

Increasing atmosphere `CO_2` concentration up to 0.05% can enhance `CO_2` fixation rate

C

`C_3` plants respond to higher temperatures with enhanced Photosynthesis while `C_4` plants have much lower temperature optimum.

D

Tomato is a . greenhouse crop which can be grown in `CO_2` enriched atmosphere for higher yield.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct regarding the factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis, let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Options 1. **Option 1**: "Light saturation of CO2 fixation occurs at 8% full sunlight." - This statement suggests that CO2 fixation reaches its maximum rate at 8% of full sunlight. This is a plausible statement as light saturation can occur at lower light intensities for certain plants. 2. **Option 2**: "Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration up to 0.5% can enhance CO2 fixation rate." - This statement indicates that higher CO2 concentrations can enhance the rate of photosynthesis. This is generally true, as CO2 is a key substrate for photosynthesis. 3. **Option 3**: "C3 plants respond to higher temperatures with enhanced photosynthesis while C4 plants have much lower temperature optimum." - This statement is incorrect. C3 plants typically experience decreased photosynthesis at higher temperatures due to increased photorespiration. In contrast, C4 plants are adapted to thrive at higher temperatures. 4. **Option 4**: "Tomato is a greenhouse crop which can be grown in CO2 enriched atmosphere for higher yield." - This statement is correct. Growing tomatoes in a CO2 enriched atmosphere can indeed enhance their yield. ### Step 2: Identify the Incorrect Statement From the analysis, **Option 3** is the incorrect statement. C3 plants do not enhance photosynthesis at higher temperatures; instead, their photosynthesis decreases due to increased photorespiration. ### Conclusion The statement that is not correct regarding the factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis is **Option 3**. ---
