Which of the following components is not used by both plants and cyanobacteria to carry out photosynthesis?
chloroplasts
What two main products result from photosynthesis?
sugars/carbohydrates and oxygen
In which compartment of the plant cell do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place?
stroma
Which statement about thylakoids in eukaryotes is not correct?
thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes
Predict the end result if a chloroplast’s light-independent enzymes developed a mutation that prevented them from activating in response to light.
ATP and NADPH accumulation
How are the NADPH and G3P molecules made during photosynthesis similar?
they both store energy in chemical bonds
Which of the following structures is not a component of a photosystem?
ATP synthase
How many photons does it take to fully reduce one molecule of NADP+ to NADPH?
2
Which complex is not involved in the establishment of conditions for ATP synthesis?
photosystem ll
From which component of the light-dependent reactions does NADPH form most directly?
photosystem l
Three of the same species of plant are each grown under a different colored light for the same amount of time. Plant A is grown under blue light, Plant B is grown under green light, and Plant C is grown under orange light. Assuming the plants use only chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b for photosynthesis, what would be the predicted order of the plants from most growth to least growth?
A,C,B
Plants containing only chlorophyll b are exposed to radiation with the following wavelengths: 10nm (x-rays), 450nm (blue light), 670nm (red light), and 800nm (infrared light). Which plants harness the most energy for photosynthesis?
blue light irradiated plants
Which molecule must enter the Calvin cycle continually for the light-independent reactions to take place?
CO2
Which order of molecular conversions is correct for the Calvin cycle?
RuBP + CO2 → [RuBisCO] 3-PGA → G3PRuBP + CO2 → [ RuBisCO ] 3-PGA → G3P
Where in eukaryotic cells does the Calvin cycle take place?
chloroplast stroma
Which statement correctly describes carbon fixation?
the conversion of CO2 into an organic compound
If four molecules of carbon dioxide enter the Calvin cycle (four “turns” of the cycle), how many G3P molecules are produced and how many are exported?
4 G3P made, 1 G3P exported
