Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 4TYU
Photosynthesis ceases when leaves wilt, mainly because
- (A) the chlorophyll in wilting leaves is degraded.
- (B) accumulation of C02 in the leaf inhibits enzymes.
- (C) stomata close, preventing C02 from entering the leaf.
- (D) photolysis, the water-splitting step of photosynthesis, cannot occur when there is a water deficiency.

Photosynthesis sustains plant growth, and inputs of sunlight sustain photosynthesis. Why, then, do seedlings that germinate in a fully darkened room grow taller than seedlings of the same species that germinate in full sun?
Both NADPH and the related carrier molecule NADH are strong electron donors. Why might plant cells have evolved to rely on NADPH, rather than NADH, to provide the reducing power for photosynthesis?
Which pigments provide the maximum efficiency for a plant as itconducts photosynthesis?

Does energy recovery always occur in the same sites where photosynthetic capture occurred?arrow_forwardThe light dependent reactions of photosynthesis serve to __________ while the light independent reactions serve to ______ .arrow_forwardIf you can observe plant lovers, they usually water their plants early in the morning and/or late afternoon.

- Photosynthesis generally takes place in which parts of the plant? A. Leaf and other chloroplast bearing parts B. stem and leaf C. Roots and chloroplast bearing parts D. Bark and leafarrow_forwardPhotosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts packed within the mesophyll cells. Summer leaves are green because they contain about 50 times more chlorophyll than carotenoids. But during the fall, carotenoids have their season of glory because chlorophyll breaks down first, revealing the striking orange and yellow colors of carotenoids, which were there all along. The changes that leaves undergo before they fall off allow the plant to reclaim nutrients from the leaves for storage and use the following spring. How do these nutrients leave the leaf ?arrow_forwardYou continuously monitor the photosynthetic oxygen production from the leaf of a plant illuminated by white light. How and why would oxygen production change if you placed filters in front of the light source that transmit (a) only red, (b) only infrared, and (c) only green light onto the leaf?arrow_forward
- Your friend is looking for advice for growing healthy houseplants. With what you read in the textbook about photosynthesis, provide your friend with three specific factors that are key to successful plant growth. Provide specific details as to why you chose these factors and how your friend can make sure the plants are able to maximize their photosynthetic rate.arrow_forwardFor a given stomatal conductance, how will an increase in atmospheric concentrations of CO2 possibly influence the rate of photosynthesis? How might this affect the water use efficiency of the plant?arrow_forwardIf chlorophyll is extracted from plant cells and exposed to light, it absorbs light energy momentarily and this energy is almost immediately reradiated as light. Thus chlorophyll molecules can not cause photosynthesis by themselves. Why? What is required for photosynthesis to occur?arrow_forward
