- Explain briefly why the following ideas are false. a. Photosynthesis is the food-making process done by plants. b The Calvin cycle was called the dark reactions because it can only take place in the absence of light. c. Photosynthesis can only be powered by sunlight.arrow_forwardThrough light reductions, ADP is phosphorylated into ATP via chemiosmosis. What is this process called? a. Reduction b. Calvin Cycle c. Photophosphorylation d. Photosynthesisarrow_forwardPlants undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Why don’t plants simply use the ATP pro¬duced in the light reactions of photosynthesis to drive cellular processes? A) The ATP produced during photosynthesis is chemically different from the ATP produced during cellular respiration and cannot be used for anabolic reactions B) ATP cannot be stockpiled so the plants would have no energy during non-daylight hours C) The plants have no way of getting the ATP made during photosynthesis out of the chloroplasts to the rest of the cell D) Plants rely on cellular respiration to remove excess O2 and prevent photorespirationarrow_forward
- What is the difference between the cyclic and noncyclic pathways of photosynthesis? a The cyclic pathway uses electron transport. b The cyclic pathway is light-dependent. c The noncyclic pathway produces NAPDH. d The noncyclic pathway produces ATP.arrow_forwardHow is the difference made up in the Calvin cycle when more ATP is used than NADPH? A. The Calvin cycle occurs half as often as the light-dependent reaction B. The cyclic pathway creates more ATP C. Additional ATP is created from glucose D. Excess NADPH is reused in the light reactionarrow_forwardHow are the NADPH and G3P molecules made during photosynthesis similar? a. They are both end products of photosynthesis. b. They are both substrates for photosynthesis. c. They are both produced from carbon dioxide. d. They both store energy in chemical bonds.arrow_forward
- Under certain conditions, the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast may become 'leaky’ allowing ions to freely diffuse across it. A consequence of that is carbon fixation will stop. Why would the Calvin Cycle stop? A. Because oxidation of water by PSII would stop. B. Because reduction of NADP+ to NADPH would stop. C. Because the stroma would contain ADP but no ATP. D. Because levels of G3P in the stroma would increase.arrow_forwardIf 30 molecules of CO2 enter the Calvin Cycle,a. How many molecules of phosphoglycerate (PGA) will be produced? b.
