Document Summary

Xanthophylls convert excess light energy to heat, reducing the rate at which electrons enter the electron transport chain. When not enough nadp+ is available, antennae chlorophyll can transfer energy to o2 or electrons can be used to reduce o2. Excessive light energy is released as heat on the surface of leaves with some water molecules, so there is some dehydration. During electron transport, protons accumulate in the thylakoid lumen. Protons flow back into stroma through the atp synthase, driving the synthesis of. Rubisco adds o2 to rubp, resulting in one molecule of 3 phosphoglycerate and one molecule of 2 phosphoglycolate. 2 phosphoglycolate cannot be used by the calvin cycle. The conversion of 2 phosphoglycolate into 3 pga results in the net loss of reduced carbon. Most common protein on the face of the planet. When photosynthesis was evolving, there was no oxygen or very little, so there was no selection against rubisco putting oxygen together with rubp.

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

B: ?Rubisco is more efficient in C3 plants when compared to rubisco of C4 and CAM plants

C: Most plant species do not have vacuoles in their cells to store the malate generated from CO2 taken in during the night.

D; : Photorespiration is not a serious problem 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.?

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.
