The C-4 plants are photosynthetically more efficient than C-3 plants because
the CO2 compensation point is more
CO2 generated during photorespiration is trapped and recycled through PEP carboxylase
the CO2 efflux is not prevented
the CO2 efflux is not prevented
The slow rate of decomposition of fallen logs in nature is due to their
low moisture content
poor nitrogen content
anaerobic environment around them
anaerobic environment around them
A.
low moisture content
Photosynthetically fixed carbon is eventually degraded by micro-organisms and two major forms of carbon result methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).The micro-organisms break down the complex compounds of the dead protoplasm of producers and consumers absorb some of the decomposition products and release simple substances. The slow rate of decomposition of fallen logs in nature is due to their low moisture content. The cellulose is in high amount in fallen logs. The environment around the fallen logs is aerobic, ie, O2 is present.

Cork
Wood fibre
Pollen exine
Pollen exine
