Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The dependence of light reaction on the Calvin cycle.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into sugar while harnessing energy from the sunlight. This process involves two major reactions called the Calvin cycle and the light reaction.

In photosynthesis,
reaction?
which of the following is NOT true about the light-dependent ("light”)
Light-excited electrons in chlorophyll provide the energy for ATP production
None of the other four answers (All are true of the light-dependent reaction)
The light-dependent reaction converts light energy to chemical energy stored in ATP
The light-dependent reaction (non-cyclic) captures electrons in NADPH
Glucose is synthesized from CO2 and water during the light-dependent reaction
IS THIS A GOOD BREAK DOWN? WHAT ELSE CAN I SHOULD I ADD?
Briefly explain the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: where does this take place, what are the reactants and what is produced?
Light-dependent reactions are used to convert light energy into chemical energy for use by the plants. Through the process of photosynthesis, the energy collected from the sun is broken down, along with water molecules, to produce NADPH and ATP.
Light-dependent reactions
Goal
Convert light energy into chemical energy
Location

3. Based on your observations, which wavelength (color) of light might be expected to generate the
General Questions:
1. Why are plants typically green?
2. Photosynthesis produces the oxygen (O2) on which all aerobic organisms depend for survival.
What other factors make photosynthesis essential to the maintenance of virtually all life on
earth?
3. In the experiment that tested the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis, we did not
run a control tube during the experiment. Why is a control important in an experiment? How
would you design a control for this experiment? Be specific
4. If during the experiment, you found that the control tube generated pressure and had a
measurable rate of "photosynthesis" just like the experimental tube did, what would this fact tell
you about the experiment?

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?)

- Can someone help me understand this. A student set up an experiment to show the effect of light color on photosynthesis in Elodea plants. She filled two test tubes with distilled water and placed a piece of Elodea in each of the tubes. She added a drop of phenol red, which turns red in a basic solution and yellow in an acidic solution. She blew in each tube before placing the volumeters on the top of the tube. Why did she blow into the tube? to add oxygen to the tube to add carbon dioxide to the tube to add carbohydrates to the tube to add sodium bicarbonate to the tubearrow_forwardPlease answer fast Many commercial herbicides act by inhibiting photosynthetic electron transport.
