Is the following statement true or false? Unlike animals, which make many ATP by aerobic respiration, plants make all of their ATP by photosynthesis.
Identify the correct compound to create a chemical equation that represents Photosynthesis. + Drag and drop the right reactants and products of the Light Dependent and Light Independent (aka Dark) Reactions. Chloroplast NADPH NADP+ ADP Water - H20 Calvin Cycle Glucose - C6H1206 ATP Light Reaction Thylakoids Stroma O2 Carbon Dioxide CO2 Identify the reactants and products that are used and given off by plants and animals.
Identify each statement below as True or False. * Another name for phase I of photosynthesis is electron transport. Phase I of photosynthesis stores energy in NADPH molecules. Photosynthesis takes place inside the mitochondria. Energy is stored in water molecules during phase I of photosynthesis. Phase I of photosynthesis is also known a the light- dependent reactions. Photosynthesis phase I stores energy that is used to power phase II. Phase I of photosynthesis stores energy in ATP molecules. Phase I of photosynthesis can only take place when light is available. Light is not required for phase I of photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis takes in the chloroplasts of a cell. place True ο ο ο ο ο ο ο ο False O о
Which of the following does not occur in anoxygenic photosynthesis? Bacteriochlorophyll is involved in the light reaction. Water is split into oxidized and reduced parts. The system operates under anaerobic conditions. O ATP is formed via cyclic 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…
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoids. Chlorophyll directly absorbs light for use in photosynthesis. Carotenoids absorb light and transfer the energy from light to chlorophyll. The efficiency of photosynthesis varies with the wavelengths of the light that illuminates the chloroplasts. In an experiment to study the relationship between the incoming light wavelengths and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis using a species of green algae, a researcher labeled the CO2 supply to the algae with 14C, and the H2O with 18O. Which of the following results is expected? More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 18O is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light than when it is illuminated by green light. More 18O is found in the algae when…
Cells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant cells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The photosynthetic reaction releases free energy to the surroundings. The photosynthetic reaction’s free energy is in equilibrium. The reactants of photosynthesis have less free energy than the products. The change in free energy (∆G) of the photosynthetic system is less than zero.
Which of the following statements about the challenges of C3 photosynthesis under hot conditions is TRUE? O When they close stomatal cells, they save water but lose too much O2. O Rubisco has a higher affinity for CO2, making the rate of photosynthesis too rapid. When stomatal cells close, photorespiration increases and CO2 is lost. C3 plants have to spend energy to store carbon in a separate specialized cell.
Which of the following statements about the light reactions of photosynthesis is NOT true? Chlorophyll and other pigments absorb light energy, which excites electrons ATP is generated by photophosphorylation Electrons from water are given to the chlorophyll molecules of Photosystem!
