They remove electrons from H20, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. C. They convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate (glucose) D. They reduce P680+ to P680.

Melvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway. Why did they predict correctly that the same set of intermediates would be formed in the light reaction in land plants?
Animal metabolism and plant metabolism are related in that: a. plants carry out photosynthesis and animals carry outrespiration. b. G3P is found in the metabolic pathways of both animals andplants. c. G3P is used by catabolic pathways when it is generated byphotosynthesis, and it is a product of an anabolic pathway incellular respiration. d. light drives electron excitation. e. the reactants of photosynthesis drive cellular respiration inanimals.

Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, which might be the most abundant enzyme on Earth, is part of which photosynthetic reaction? A. the Hill reaction B. the light-independent reaction C. photosystem II D. the light-dependent reaction E. photosystem I
In chapter 9 you were given the overall equation for respiration. In Chapter 10 you were given the overall equation for photosynthesis. It has been said that photosynthesis is the opposite of respiration. But is it really? Describe several of the similarities between photosynthesis and respiration, and list several ways in which these reactions are quite different from each other.
The light-independent or dark reactions of photosynthesis occur only at night. Do you agree with this statement?
