Question
Chapter 42.2, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The nutrient nitrogen and phosphorus that necessary for Calvin cycle to function photosynthesis, often limit the primary production in an ecosystem.
Introduction:
Primary production provides the origin of energy in an ecosystem, it is the chemical energy generated by fixation of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Primary production is the source of energy for the entire organism from bacteria to humans. Photosynthesis involve the Calvin cycle that makes sugar from carbon.

Plants have evolved by developing mechanisms that promote entry of CO, into the Calvin Cycle (CC) to limit
photorespiration when environmental conditions tend to favor the latter. This is because photorespiration 1) is
energetically inefficient (consuming more ATP than the CC alone) and 2) it does not produce any sugars that
can be "fed" into cellular respiration to produce lots more ATP.
A) Under what environmental conditions does photorespiration "outcompete" that of the CC? Specifically, what
mechanism is responsible for committing the cell to photorespiration and what type of plant does not have any
"safeguards" to ensure that the CC is performed rather than photorespiration?
B) Describe the mechanisms employed by two types of plants to minimize photorespiration and ensure that the
CC is carried out even when environmental conditions are not in their favor. Be sure to identify 1) the type of
plant, 2) its natural environment and how it affects the plant's ability to perform the CC,…

Absorption of light does one thing: it makes chlorophyll easier to oxidize. 2. In PSII, the rate of damage to the D1 protein can never exceeds the rate of repair. 3.

- Draw a diagram of the dark phase of photosynthesis. You must represent this phase in the form of a cycle indicating the parts of carboxylation, reduction, generation of hexoses and regeneration. Ribulose, CO2, rubisco, phosphoglycerate (PGA), bisphosphoglycerate, phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL), ATP, ADP, NADPH, NADP, kinase, fructose, and glucose should appear.arrow_forwardDiscuss the Calvin cycle and related cycles of photophosphorylationarrow_forwardIn an experiment conducted on photosynthesis-CO2 update and photosynthesis-Determining rate in white light. what gas will be produce as an product of photosynthesis and if present, what will this allow the leaf dice to do? Also, what will be the goal of photosynthesis, and how will it be different from the goal of cellular respiration?arrow_forward
- Photorespiration is a multienzyme bypass of the Calvin cycle's CO2 fixation process in plants and all other oxygenic phototrophs. This bypass removes and recycles 2-phosphoglycolate, a damaging by- product of photosynthesis in the presence of O2, which is formed when 02 substitutes CO2 in the CO2 fixation pathway. According to a regional scale model, photorespiration currently reduces US soybean and wheat yields by 36% and 20%, respectively, and a 5% reduction in photorespiration losses would be worth around $500 million yearly in the United States. Can you forecast the costs and good advantages of C4 photosynthesis? What factors increase the likelihood that the benefits will outweigh the expenses in hot, dry areas in the United States?arrow_forwardThe Calvin cycle, the "dark reaction" or Carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis, cannot occur at night in a living plant. Which of the following best describes why this is true? A) The stomata are incapable of opening at night, thus CO2 cannot enter the leaf B) The reactions of the Calvin cycle are dependent on light reactions for high-energy compounds C) Several enxymes necessary for Calvin cycle activity have been degraded during the day and must be replaced D) Light is required to transport the water necessary for the cycle E) Cooler temperatures at night slow enzyme activity and rates of substrate diffusionarrow_forwardDiscuss how photorespiration reduces photosynthetic efficiency.arrow_forward
