Question

Biotechnologists are attempting to reduce the impact of anthropogenic (human) carbon dioxide release on the environment by producing lamps that utilize bioluminescent algae as the light source. What property of the algae helps to reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide? (3 points)

Group of answer choices

Bioluminescent algae consume carbon dioxide during respiration.

Bioluminescent algae consume carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

Bioluminescent algae release carbon dioxide during respiration.

Bioluminescent algae release carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Bioluminescent algae consume carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. This property of bioluminescent algae helps to reduce anthropogenic (human-caused) carbon dioxide release on the environment as the algae utilize carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce energy and grow. Therefore, utilizing bioluminescent algae in lamps can help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment by consuming it during their growth and light production.
