Question
Chapter 8.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantages of C3, C4 and the CAM (Crassulacean acid
Introduction: the plants are divided into three categories based on the route of metabolism opted by them. The C3 plants produce a three-carbon compound through the Calvin cycle. While the c4 plants form four carbon compound that is oxaloacetate and the CAM plants collect the sunlight during the day and use it produce carbohydrates during the night.

Q no 2: Describe in detail what happens during the light reactions of photosystems. Use terms such as photosystems (be specific about which is which), pigments, reaction center, water-splitting, NADPH, ATP, ADP, NADP+, oxygen gas, etc?
Please answer fast
Many commercial herbicides act by inhibiting photosynthetic electron transport. They are investigating three herbicides for potential inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport.
a) How can you determine whether these substances have an inhibitory effect on photosynthetic electron transport? How can you quantify the effect?
b) An inhibitor has produced a strong effect in "in vitro" tests, but the effect is significantly less in "in vivo" tests. What can be the reason for the reduced effect "in vivo"?
Q10. What is the primary purpose of the light-dependent reactions?
A. to transfer electrons to the primary electron acceptors
B. to provide electrons and energy for the light-independent reactions
C. to generate O2
D. to create a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane

- What is the significance that the combined absorption spectra of chlorophylls a and b roughly match the action spectrum of photosynthesis? Would photosynthesis be more efficient if their individual absorption spectra coincided exactly?arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts Concerns about global climate change and the greenhouse effect center on rising levels of greenhouse gases, including atmospheric carbon dioxide. Plants use CO for 2 photosynthesis, and laboratory studies suggest that increasedCO2 levels could cause a rise in photosynthetic activity. However, as one environmentalist noted, What plants do in environmental chambers may not happen in nature, where there are many other interacting variables. Strictly from the standpoint of physiological effects, what are some possible ramifications of a rapid doubling of atmospheric CO2 on plants in temperate environments?
