Q21. Photosynthesis is an oxidation-reduction process. Which of the following statements about this redox process is correct? The oxidation of NADPH by the Calvin Cycle is linked to the reduction of CO2. In the electron transport chain, plastocyanin is easier to be oxidized than PQ. Following light absorption H2O is oxidized to O2. Absorption of light by P700 makes it easier to be reduced. A. 1, 2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1,2,3 and 4 are correct
I'm studing Cellular Respiration. We did a lab. We had technical difficulties... our CO2 gas sensor wasn't working properly. So I am curious, what trends SHOULD I have seen. We compared the CO2 output of bean sprouts vs mealworms. We tested at both room temp (27 degrees C) vs cold temp (15 degrees C) for both the mealworms and bean sprouts. I need to know the trends I should have seen, ie. does an animal or plant produces more C02 and why? Also does the the cool temp make the reduction in CO2 production? Thank you.
