Question
Chapter 14.6, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The hypothesis that determines the role of Fe2+ (ferrous ion) for photosynthesis in the given bacteria and the methodology to test this hypothesis.
Introduction:
The process by which autotrophic organisms are able to synthesize food is referred to as photosynthesis. The sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are the raw materials for the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight is trapped by the autotrophs to form energy units. There is a requirement of electrons in the formation of energy units.

Generally, increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide increases the rate of photosynthesis. What conditions could prevent this effect?
Why is the carbon dioxide concentration a limiting factor of the photosynthesis process? When the carbon dioxide concentration is increased indefinitely is photosynthesis also increased indefinitely?
Suppose a researcher is carrying out studies in which she adds a nonphysiological electron donor to a suspension of chloroplasts. Illumination of the chloroplasts yields oxidation of the donor. How could she tell whether photosystem I, II, or both are involved?
