Question

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the process of Photosynthesis evolving on Earth?
A. Filtering of UV light
B. Reduction of atmospheric CO2
C. Increase in atmospheric O2
D. Increase in atmospheric Nitrogen

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Increase in atmospheric Nitrogen

Explanation:

When plants undergo photosynthesis, they do not use the UV radiation that comes along with the sunlight. However, due to the UV radiation damaging plant cells and causing mutations, over time the plants evolved to have a filtering of UV light to protect themselves while they absorb sunlight.

At the same time, the photosynthesis would have increased atmospheric O2 and decreased atmospheric CO2 due to the photosynthetic process itself producing O2 and absorbing CO2. However, nitrogen is not affected by the process.

Hence, D is the answer.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The following that is not the benefit of the process of Photosynthesis evolving on Earth is an increase in atmospheric Nitrogen. The correct option is D.

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a process performed by organisms containing chlorophyll. It is a process of producing food. The reaction includes water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll.

As, nitrogen is not needed for the process of photosynthesis, its decrease or increase doesn't affect the photosynthesis.

Thus, the correct option is D. Increase in atmospheric Nitrogen.
