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?
In ________, electrons that have been energized by light contribute their energy to add phosphate to ADP, producing ATP. (a) crassulacean acid metabolism (b) the Calvin cycle (c) photorespiration (d) C4 pathways (e) photophosphorylation
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…

Explain briefly why the following ideas are false. a. Photosynthesis is the food-making process done by plants. b The Calvin cycle was called the dark reactions because it can only take place in the absence of light. c. Photosynthesis can only be powered by sunlight.
If ribulose bisphosphate were removed from a chloroplast, which of the following statements would BEST describe the immediate result? b)ATP could not be produced in the thylakoid a) CO2 could not enter the Calvin cycle d) Light energy could not be trapped in the grana c) 02 could not enter the Calvin Cycle
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.
