Which of the following are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle?
ATP and NADPH
Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
stroma of the cholroplast
When oxygen is released as a result of photosynthesis, it is a by-product of which of the following?
splitting the water molecules
In the thylakoid membranes, what is the main role of the antenna pigment molecules?
harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll
Which of the events listed below occur in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
light is absorbed and funneled to reaction-center chlorophyll a.
Some photosynthetic organisms contain cholorplasts that lack photosystem II, yet are able to survive. The best way to detect the lack of photosystem II in these organisms would be
to test for liberation of O2 in the light
In a plant cell, where are the ATP synthase complexes located
thylakoid membrane and inner mitochondrial membrane (A and C)
Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration?
Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it
Where are the molecules of the electron transport transport chain found in plant cells?
thylakoid membranes of the cholorplasts
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
They are inversely related
Carotenoids are often found in foods that are considered to have antioxidants properties in human nutrition. What related function do they have in plants?
They dissipate excessive light energy
For the following questions, compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants. Produces molecular oxygen?
light reactions alone
For the following questions, compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants. Requires ATP?
the Calvin cycle alone
For the following questions, compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants. Produces NADH?
neither the light reactions nor the Calvin cycle
For the following questions, compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants. Requires CO2
the calvin cycle alone
For the following questions, compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants. requires glucose?
neither the light reactions nor the calvin cycle
CAM plants keep stomata closed in daytime, thus reducing loss of water. They can do this because they
fix CO2 into organic acids during the night
How is photosynthesis similar in C4 and CAM plants?
In both cases, rubisco is not used to fix carbon initially
Which of the following statements is a correct distinction between autotrophs and heterotrophs?
Autotrophs, but not heterotrophs, can nourish themselves beginning with CO2 and other nutrients that are inorganic
Which of the following does not occur during the Calvin cycle?
release of oxygen
The reaction-center chlorophyll of photosystem I is known as P700 because
this pigment is best at absorbing light with a wavelength of 700 nm
What are the products of linear photophosphorylation?
ATP and NADPH
In mitochondria, chemiosmosis translocated protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space, whereas in chloroplasts, chemiosmosis translocated protons from
the stroma to the thylakoid space
Synthesis of ATP by the chemiosmotic mechanism occurs during
both photosynthesis and respiration
Where do the enzymatic reactions of the Calvin cycle take place
stroma of the chloroplast
What is the primary function os the Calvin cycle
synthesize simple sugars from carbon dioxide
