Photosynthesis in an aquatic plant was measured by counting the number of bubbles coming out of the cut end of the plant. What will happen to production if you use a pipe blow air from your mouth into water in the beaker?

- ABacteria from mouth will infect plant. Hence reduction in \({O_2}\)production
- BWater is already in contact with air. Hence air from mouth will have no effect
- CAir from mouth contains \(C{O_2}\)which is utilized in photosynthesis. Hence increase in \({O_2}\)productionCorrect
- DAir from mouth contains \({O_2}\)which is being added to the plant. Hence increase in \({O_2}\) production

- Bbeetles change colour from red to green with change of season
- Cbeetles become green by accumulating chlorophyll from the green leaves that they eat
- Dnatural variations occur during sexual reproductionCorrect
