Which outcome arises when increased salt concentration inhibits Rubisco in plant cells?

💡 Explanation

When salt concentration increases, Rubisco's active site is disrupted by altered ion interactions causing reduced binding efficiency, resulting in reduction in carbon fixation, leading leading to decreased photosynthetic efficiency. Therefore photosynthetic slowdown arises, rather than other effects that would enhance photosynthesis.
