(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of sudden reduction of carbon dioxide concentration by 1000-fold will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate.

Introduction: Chlorella is a single-celled green alga which is usually found in freshwater. It carries out photosynthesis because of the presence of Chlorophyll a and b. It is known to have a very high efficiency of photosynthesis and thus can be used as a source of food.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of restriction of light to green wavelengths (510-550 nm) will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.

Introduction: Chlorella is a single-celled green alga which is usually found in freshwater. It carries out photosynthesis because of the presence of Chlorophyll a and b. It is known to have a very high efficiency of photosynthesis and thus can be used as a source of food.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of an addition of an inhibitor oh photosystem II will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.

Introduction: Chlorella is a single-celled green alga which is usually found in freshwater. It carries out photosynthesis because of the presence of Chlorophyll a and b. It is known to have a very high efficiency of photosynthesis and thus can be used as a source of food.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of reduction of oxygen concentration from 20% to 1% will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate.

Photosyntheis related question (s): When protons move out of the thylakoid, are they moving up or down their concentration gradient? (From low to high concentration or from high to low concentration?)    What protein(s) facilitate the transport of protons out of the thylakoid?   We can write the formula for photosynthesis as follows: 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 How would you write a formula for the light reactions? Include ATP, ADP, NADP and NADPH as relevant? How would you write a formula for the Calvin cycle? Include ATP, ADP, NADP and NADPH as relevant.
