Considering the body plan of a plant (shoot and root), describe some features that make wetland plants some of the most productive plants in the world
What will be an ideal response?
The best responses should include that wetland plants get ample carbon dioxide and water. They have a steady supply of water as roots are submersed in water or in moist soil. The shoots are often above the water line absorbing ample carbon dioxide. Therefore they get the best of both plant worlds: all of the water and carbon dioxide they need. This combination results in very high productivity.

In a biological reaction, succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, a substance that resembles succinate but cannot be acted upon by succinate dehydrogenase
Increasing the amount of succinate molecules to those of malonic acid reduces the inhibitory effect if malonic acid. Select the correct identification of the molecules described in the reaction. A) Succinate dehydrogenase is the enzyme, and fumarate is the substrate in the reaction. B) Succinate dehydrogenase is the enzyme, and malonic acid is the substrate in the reaction. C) Succinate is the substrate, and fumarate is the product in the reaction. D) Fumarate is the product, and malonic acid is a noncompetitive inhibitor in the reaction.
