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
