Calculate the gross and net photosynthetic productivity for this whole plant (lea stems & roots) in this experiment. What do you think is happening in this plant regard to the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis, and might a living plant be exhibiting these metabolic characteristics?

A mutant form of an Arabidopsis thaliana plant has defective chlorophyll production, such that the abundance of chlorophyll molecules in chloroplasts is 5% the normal level, and the chlorophyll molecules are on average too far apart for resonance energy transfer to occur. What will be the effect on the overall efficiency of photosynthesis in the plant? Rationalize your answer
Tags: photosynthesis, plants, biology, chemistry, biochemistry Consider a recently discovered planet that scientists believe is capable of supporting life due to its similarities to the earth. However, its daytime temperature and oxygen content in its atmosphere are HIGHER than earth. Design a plant that can survive and show MAXIMUM photosynthetic efficiency in this planet by enumerating the features (anatomical/metabolic) that you will include and explain why it is necessary to include them.

Introduction The major context for this lab is photosynthesis, and the overall equation for photosynthesis is: 12 H2O + 6 CO2+ light energy → C6H12O6+ 6O2+ 6 H2O Exercise A: Photosynthetic Pigments Watch the following two videos about plant pigments and chromatography. To analyze the data we’ll give you, you’ll need to understand what types of pigments are found in a leaf, and understand some general characteristics of those pigments.

Answers can be kept very simple and concise Photosynthesis: A) Is NADPH consumed during the light reactions or Calvin cycle? What is it’s energy used to do? Protons move across the thylakoid membrane in both directions during the light reactions of photosynthesis. B) When protons move in to the thylakoid, are they moving up or down their concentration gradient? (From low to high concentration or from high to low concentration?) C) Since protons are charged, they cannot freely diffuse across a plasma membrane. What protein(s) facilitate the transport of protons in to the thylakoid?
Light that the chlorophyll-a pigment uses may be measured by the solar-induced fluorescence (650-850nm). This fluorescence caused by the sun and a plant's gross primary output are correlated linearly. Why does this reasoning shows that solar induced fluorescence can be used to infer net photosynthesis?
