Unlike animals, which make many ATP by aerobic respiration, plants make all of their ATP by photosynthesis.arrow_forward
- Which part of the Calvin cycle would be affected if a cell could not produce the enzyme RuBIsCO?arrow_forwardMelvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway. Why did they predict correctly that the same set of intermediates would be formed in the light reaction in land plants?arrow_forwardWhich of the following substances does not participate in the Calvin-Benson cycle? a.

Calvin-Benson cycle product ____ pigment g. water molecules split ____ photolysis in photosynthesis h. rubisco functionarrow_forwardA decrease in entropy occurs during the CO2 uptake phase of the Calvin cycle, as freely moving CO2 molecules become fixed into a carbon skeleton. How can this occur without direct participation by NADPH and/or ATP?arrow_forward
- If 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?
