Previous research shows that shade-adapted plants produce more chlorophyll than sun-adapted plants produce. Previous research also shows that sun-adapted plants produce more of the key enzymes that catalyzes photosynthesis and cellular respiration than shade-adapted plants produce. Describe which experiments support each of these previous research findings. Cite your results from Procedure II and Procedure III to support your reasoning.

Both temperature and light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis. However, in this study, the investigator kept the temperature constant and only studied how changes in light intensity affected the rate of photosynthesis, Which of the following best explains the investigator's decision to only study light intensity? Select one or more: a. It is easier to control light intensity than it is to regulate temperature, therefore the investigator chose to measure only light intensity b. Light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis more than temperature, therefore the investigator chose to measure only light intensity c. none of the answers is correct d. If different light intensities and different temperatures had been studied at the same time, it would not be possible to know which of these factors affected the rate of photosynthesis.
How would you design an experiment to test the following hypothesis: " The optimal temperature for photosynthesis in spinach leaves is 20 degrees Celsius?"
When discussing why the rate of photosynthesis did not increase at higher light intensities, the investigator mentioned the possibility that high light intensities could damage chlorophyll, which would result in a decrease in oxygen production. Which of the following accurately explains the role of chlorophyll in oxygen production during photosynthesis and why damage to chlorophyll would results in lower oxygen production? Select one or more: a. Chlorophyll participates in carbon fixation during the Calvin Cycle. During this process, oxygen molecules are formed. b. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight and releases high energy electrons that enter the electron transport chain in the Calvin Cycle. During this process, oxygen molecules are formed. c. Chlorophyll participates in carbon fixation during the light reactions. During this process, oxygen molecules are formed. d. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight and releases high energy electrons that enter the electron…

What are the key components of the light and dark reactions and how do you differentiate one from the other? d. How is photosynthesis measured? e. What are the environmental influences on photosynthesis? f. Include illustrations or figures appropriately. g. List your major references (at least five and no more than 10 references)
Please help me answer questions 79 and 82 79. How do CAM plants minimize photorespiration? A. Stomata are open only at night and oxygen is stored in a four-carbon compound. During the day the carbon dioxide is released for photosynthesis. B. The light reactions and the carbon reactions occur in different cells, so carbon dioxide does not come into contract with rubisco. C. The light reactions and the carbon reactions occur in different cells, so oxygen does not come into contract with rubisco. D. Stomata are open only at night and carbon dioxide is stored in a four- carbon compound. During the day the carbon dioxide is released for photosynthesis. E. None of the answers choices are correct. 82. Asexual reproduction differs from sexual reproduction in that. A. Asexual reproduction produces genetically diverse offspring. B. Asexual reproduction occurs only in plants. C. Asexual reproduction utilizes DNA from two parents to code for traits in offspring. D. Asexual reproduction…
horticulturist wants to grow large, healthy plants by maximizing the rate of photosynthesis. Which of the following actions would be most likely to give the results she wants? *
Propose a hypothesis on how each of these variables affects the production of oxygen from a plant. 1. Increasing light intensity 2.Increasing CO2 levels 3.Increasing temperature 4.How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?
What special adaptation has evolved in CAM plants such as cacti and stonecrops that allows CO2 fixation and the Calvin cycle to occur in the same cell, but still occur separately? Briefly describe how this separation of events works.
Can you please pick the right answer in each parentheses? In photorespiration ["oxygen", "NADH"] is consumed and ["nitrous oxide", "carbon dioxide"] is produced, and requires the activity of ["glycerate dehydrogenase", "the enzyme rubisco"] in the stroma of the chloroplast. Photorespiration ["decreases", "increases", ""] photosynthetic efficiency and is particularly prevalent under conditions of high temperature, found in more equatorial latitudes. Plants in these ecosystems have evolved to alter photorespiration, capturing carbon dioxide in the form of ["phosphoenolpyruvate", "oxaloacetate"] that is then converted to ["malate", "pyruvate"] used to regenerate CO2 and delivered to rubisco in the calvin cycle to achieve carbon fixation.
Heat energy was not identified in the photosynthesis equation, yet gardeners will tell you that the warmth of the greenhouse is advantageous in producing healthy and faster growing plants. How do you explain this?
In photosynthesis, contrast the light reactions with the light independent reactions, in terms of goals, inputs, and outputs of each. Spatially where do they take place (which parts of the chloroplast)? (Optional, for further discussion: Could there be light reactions without light-independent reactions, or visa-versa?)
The investigator suggested that insufficient amounts of carbon dioxide in the water may have been one of the factors that prevented further increases in the rate of photosynthesis at higher light intensities. Why would inadequate amounts of carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis? Select one or more: a. Carbon dioxide is needed for the production of sugars in the light reactions of photosynthesis b. Carbon dioxide is needed for the production of sugars in the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis c. Carbon dioxide is needed for the production of ATP in the Calvin Cycle d. Carbon dioxide is the source of oxygen in photosynthesis e. Carbon dioxide is needed for the production of ATP in the light reactions of photosynthesis
