Sunlight
Which of the following statements comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration is FALSE?
ATP is not produced during photosynthesis it is only produced during cellular respiration.
Where does the light reaction occur?
Thylakoid membrane
Calvin cycle occurs where?
Stroma
Which of the following are produced during the light reaction of photosynthesis?
ATP, NADPH, & OXYGEN
Which of the following are produced during calvin cycle?
GLUCOSE, ADP, & NADP+
Carbon fixation:
Occurs when carbon atoms from co2 are incorporated into an organic molecule
How many times do you go around the Calvin cycle for glucose molecules?
5 each time you go around
Why are most plants green?
Because chlorophyll A reflects green light
WHich of the following colors contributes the least energy to photosynthesis?
Green (because it’s reflecting off)
Which of the following wavelengths of light would you expect to be reflected by chlorophyll A?
Green
What do you call a molecule of light?
Photon
The energy that excites the photosystems is supplied by?
Photons
The electron transport chain of the light reaction:
Shuttles electrons from photosystem 2 to photosystem 1
In chloroplast, ATP synthase:
Phosphorylates ADP —> ATP
Where do photosynthetic organisms derive their carbon from?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the main adaptive advantage of the C4 and CAM photosynthesis strategies over the C3 plan?
They both plant synthesize glucose efficiently under dry conditions
The ultimate source of all the food we eat and oxygen we breathe is?
Photosynthesis
Plants use sugars as?
Fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material to make other organic molecules

False
True or false: Plants cells have mitochondria and cholorplast?
TRUE
Global warming due to the greenhouse effect may be which of the following?
Moderated by photosynthesis which removes carbon dioxide from atmosphere
