1.1.9. To determine in which test-tube the carbon dioxide concentration will decrease, we need to consider the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.

  • Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, requiring light.
  • Respiration consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, occurring in both light and dark.

Let's analyze each test-tube:

  • Test-tube A (Plant + Animal + No light): Both the plant and animal will respire, producing CO2\text{CO}_2. The plant cannot photosynthesize due to lack of light. Therefore, CO2\text{CO}_2 will increase.
  • Test-tube B (Plant + No light): The plant will respire, producing CO2\text{CO}_2. It cannot photosynthesize. Therefore, CO2\text{CO}_2 will increase.
  • Test-tube C (Plant + Light): The plant will photosynthesize (consuming CO2\text{CO}_2) and respire (producing CO2\text{CO}_2). Under light conditions, the rate of photosynthesis is typically greater than the rate of respiration, leading to a net consumption of CO2\text{CO}_2. Therefore, CO2\text{CO}_2 will decrease.
  • Test-tube D (Animal + Light): The animal will respire, producing CO2\text{CO}_2. There is no plant to consume CO2\text{CO}_2. Therefore, CO2\text{CO}_2 will increase.

Thus, the carbon dioxide concentration will decrease in test-tube C.
