Document Summary

Only about 4% of the sunlight that hits earth is used for photosynthesis. Algae and cyanobacteria produce most of the oxygen compared to the big plants. Takes place in the internal membranes in prokaryotes there are no internal membrane bound organelles but cyanobacteria have an internal membrane where the photosynthesis occur. In the internal membranes of chloroplasts in eukaryotes. In photosynthesis we are reducing co2 to glucose. Oxygen comes from the water and not the co2 in the overall reaction of photosynthesis. How the cyanobacteria nd plants break down water molecules is unknown. Thylakoids is where the light dependent reactions take place and it is where the chemical reactions take place. At the end of the light dependent reactions, light is changed into chemical energy. Needs to have a mechanism to store energy because when the lights go out they need to do cellular respiration. Second set of reactions take place in the stroma calvin cycle.

A: Switching between C3, C4, and CAM photosynthesis is very difficult for most plants

E: There is an energetic cost to C4 and CAM pathways that only makes them advantageous in very hot and/or arid environments.?

8: In Engelmann's classic experiment, why were the oxygen-requiring bacteria clustered around the regions of Spirogyra algae that were bathed in red, blue, and violet light?

A; The bacteria were immobile and that is where Engelmann happened to place them

.?B; The most energy-rich wavelengths of light are found at the edges of visible and nonvisible light (ultra

violet and infrared)

C; Photosynthesis is most active in those wavelengths of light and thus more oxygen is consumed by the algae in those regions.

D: Photosynthesis is most active in those wavelengths of light and thus more oxygen is produced by the algae in those regions.?

E: : Chlorophyll is green and thus reflects green light.

9: In any experiment, changes to the dependent variable based on the manipulations of the independent variable are measured. When determining the action spectrum of a given plant, what is the independent variable and what is the dependent variable?

A: independent = rate of O2 release in photosynthesis; dependent = wavelength?

B: ?independent = absorption of light; dependent = wavelength

C: independent = wavelength; dependent = rate of O2 release in photosynthesis?

D: independent = wavelength; dependent = absorption of light?

E: independent = rate of O2 release in photosynthesis; dependent = absorption of light

11: In order to elucidate the Calvin cycle, Calvin and his colleagues used two-dimensional paper chromatography to analyze the presence of different molecules under different conditions. What did they conclude from the accumulation of RuBP when CO2 levels were low??

A: CO2 serves as a non-competitive inhibitor of rubisco.

B: RuBP is the last substrate to react in the Calvin cycle.

C: RuBP only reacts with CO2 when concentrations of ATP are low

D: RuBP is the first substrate to react with CO2

E: RuBP only reacts with CO2 in the sunlight

12: Why isn't oxygen produced by organisms that perform anoxygenic photosynthesis?

A; their membranes lack ATP synthase?

B; They use a different enzyme for the initial reactions of the calvin cycle

C: they use electrons donors other than water

D: their photosystem do not utilize the calvin cycle

E: their chorophyll contains an iron rather than magnesium
