Photosynthesis directly opposes respiration in determining how plants influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations. When a leaf is in the light, both photosynthesis and respiration are occurring simultaneously. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant that was enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The same leaf was used to collect the data in Interpret the Data in Chapter 7. Respiration is shown as a negative and photosynthesis as a positive rate of CO2 exchange. The net photosynthesis rate is the amount of CO2 (in micromoles per square meter per second) assimilated by the leaf while respiration is occurring; a positive value indicates more photosynthesis is occurring than respiration. The light exposed to the leaf is quantified as the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD); 2,000 mol/m2/s is equivalent to the amount of light occurring at midday in full Sun.

Looking at the respiration data from Interpret the Data in Chapter 7, at what temperature do you think these data were collected? Source: Data based on unpublished research by Brent Ewers, University of Wyoming.

Which of the following changes would decrease ATP production in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis? a. decreasing the pH of the thylakoid lumen b. decreasing the pH of the chloroplast stroma c. increasing the concentration of NADP+ in the chloroplast stroma d. making the thylakoid membrane freely permeable to protons by adding a proton channel e. two of the above would decrease ATP production
________ reactions of photosynthesis generate NADPH and ATP to carry solar energy. a. The light-independent b. The light-dependent c. Both the light-dependent and -independent
The role of photosystem 1 and photosystem 2 in the process of photosynthesis is to a. absorb sunlight and distribute the energy as heat b. absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons c. form ATP as hydrogen ions cross the thylakoid membrane d. transfer electrons to form NADPH
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
From a plant's perspective, the main purpose of photosynthesis is to Group of answer choices a)to produce sugars and oxygen for heterotrophs. b)plants are not cognitive organisms and therefore we have no idea what the "purpose" of photosynthesis is for the plant. c)to produce enough O2 gas for the plant to survive through the night. d)make sugars, such as glucose, to use for building cell walls and for energy needed by the plant.
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.
Since carotenoids are part of the _________, their electrons are not passed on when they get excited. A) electron carriers of the photosystem B) electron transport chain C) antenna complex of the photosystem D) reaction center of the photosystem
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…
