The description of C02-diffusion in leaves by Fick s law in the form of Eq. (8b) is convenient because it allows the use of electrical analogue models. In this way the process of C02 diffusion can be described by a series of resistances. However, the external C02 is not the only C02 source for the C02 fixing enzyme system because within the plant cells C02 is produced by respiratory processes (see 6.4.). Thus one obtains the circuit analogue pattern for C02 fluxes depicted in Fig. 4. Then, the net C02 flux from environment into leaves is given by ...
