Question
Chapter 8, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
A molecule that has to be provided to a plant to make glucose in the dark.
Introduction:
Green plants contain chlorophyll pigments that help them to synthesize their own food. These plants are called autotrophs. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant that contain chlorophyll pigments to absorb light energy and convert them to chemical energy.

Arrange logically the following steps involved in the translocation of photosynthates, specifically sugar.
A. A-D-C-B
B. D-A-C-B
C. A-B-C-D
D. D-A-B-C
In theory, a plant kept in total darkness could still manufacture glucose, if it were supplied with which molecules?
You are talking with a winemaker about yeast. "I know that yeast can survive under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions," he says, "but what I don't understand is why they seem to need so much more sugar under anaerobic conditions. I think they gobble a hundred times as much sugar."
Can you explain to him why yeast might need more sugar under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions? Is his estimation of a hundred times as much sugar reasonable?

- The green color of plants is explained by the wavelengths of light that are reflected, transmitted, and absorbed by the chlorophylls in the thylakoids. Which of the following statements is true? Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit yellow and green wavelengths of light, and absorb red and violet-blue wavelengths of light. Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit red and blue wavelengths of light, and absorb yellow and green wavelengths of light. Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit red and blue wavelengths of light, and absorb white wavelength of light. Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit white wavelength of light, and absorb red and violet-blue wavelengths of light.arrow_forwardThe following image is a schematic of the metabolic processes occurring in a plant contained in a closed container. A=Light Dependent reactions B=Glycolysis C=Light Independent Reactions D=Kreb's cycle E=electron transport chain 2a) Use the figure above to explain the conditions in which the oxygen concentration remains constant in the container. b) 2-carboxyarabinitol-1,5-bisphosphate (CABP) is an inhibitor of the enzyme rubisco. Which pathway would this affect most?arrow_forwardCell respiration and photosynthesis are distinct metabolic processes that take place in the mitochondrion and chloroplast, respectively. While these two processes are separate, they share things in common. When one looks at the overall equations for cell respiration and photosynthesis, one sees how they are near opposites in terms of the starting and ending materials. In 300-400 words, describe this “near opposite” relationship between cell respiration and photosynthesis. What are the starting and ending materials in each process, and what kind of energy transformation is taking place?arrow_forward
- Can someone help me understand this. A student set up an experiment to show the effect of light color on photosynthesis in Elodea plants. She filled two test tubes with distilled water and placed a piece of Elodea in each of the tubes. She added a drop of phenol red, which turns red in a basic solution and yellow in an acidic solution. She blew in each tube before placing the volumeters on the top of the tube. Why did she blow into the tube? to add oxygen to the tube to add carbon dioxide to the tube to add carbohydrates to the tube to add sodium bicarbonate to the tubearrow_forwardPhotosynthesis is defined as the chemical process, wherein carbon dioxide in the presence of water and radiant energy gets converted to glucose (chemical energy), giving out oxygen as byproducts. In the equation, the combining reactants and resulting products are expressed along with their respective numbers of molecules. Putting this in a simplified formula, the following equation represents this process. CO2 + H2O + Light energy → C6H12O6 + O2 Considering this equation, how plant lovers (plantitos and plantitas) able to cultivate their plants?arrow_forwardIt is biochemical reactions that enable organisms to harness sunlight to manufacture organic molecules? It is a molecule whose high energy phosphate bonds power many biological processes? This is a disk-like structure that makes up the inner membrane of a chloroplast? These are plant pigments responsible for bright red, yellow and orange colors in many fruits and vegetables? These are photosynthetic pigments efficient at absorbing orange, red, yellow, and green light, wavelengths that are not well absorbed by chlorophyll a? TRUE OR FALSE A coupled reaction is a pair of reactions, one exothermic and one endothermic. ATP contains less energy than ADP. In the ATP-ADP cycle, when the phosphate is removed, energy is released. In coupled reaction, an endothermic reaction supplies the energy needed to drive an exothermic reaction. Chlorophyll absorbs green light.arrow_forward
