Why do plant leaves look green to us?
1. Because pigments in chloroplasts absorb green light, while red and blue light is reflected
2. Because pigments absorb red and blue light, while the green light is reflected
3. Because pigments absorb red and blue light and green light is emitted from their excited states
4. Because pigments in chloroplasts absorb green light, while red and blue light passes through the leaf
1. Look at the molecular formula for plant tissue. Where does the carbon
come from?
2. Where does the hydrogen in C6H12O6 come from?
3. When radioactive isotopes of oxygen atoms are put into CO2 molecules
and the plant is allowed to photosynthesize, only new plant tissue
(C6H12O6) is radioactive and the oxygen gas given off is not radioactive.
Draw a dotted line in the photosynthesis equation to show where the
oxygen atoms in CO2 go.
4. Draw a dotted line in the equation to show where the oxygen atoms
in H20 go.
Hi, I am doing a question on photosynthesis and I have a question about the answer that was provided. The question states: If four molecules of CO2 enter the Calvin cycle, how many molecules of G3P are produced, and how many molecules are exported? I know that each turn makes 2 G3P so it would make 8 molecules. When I read the book it said that 3 turns makes 6 and then 1 is exported, so why does 4 turns make 8 and 4 be exported?

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?
