Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Typically the CO2 necessary for photosynthesis enters through the stomata of the plant leaves suppose petroleum jelly was used to coat the leaves out of this tomato blocked or closed a) what effect will this have on the light reactions in these leaf cells b) what effect will this have on the Calvin cycle in these leaf cells
What is the difference between photosynthesis rate and net photosynthesis rate?
In the Light Reaction of Photosynthesis, the sun excites electrons in pigment molecules in the photosystems. These excited electrons and (H+ ions) go through electron transport systems. Keep in mind that if this process continued as stated, the pigment molecules would run out of electrons, but fortunately there is a way in which the excited electrons are replaced. Explain how the electrons are ultimately replaced and what the important byproduct is.
In photosynthesis, contrast the light reactions with the light independent reactions, in terms of goals, inputs, and outputs of each. Spatially where do they take place (which parts of the chloroplast)?
What is the overall outcome of the light reactions in photosynthesis? NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions and are used to power the light independent reactions. NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions. Sugar and ATP are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light independent reactions. Carbon dioxide and NADPH are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions.
Which molecule is responsible for the absorption of photic energy for photosynthesis? Where is that molecule located in the photosynthetic cells?
Plants must obtain CO2 but avoid the loss of H2O by evaporation. What would be the effect of increased atmospheric [CO2] on photosynthesis?Would the effect be the same for C3 and C4 plants?
Where do photosynthetic organisms get the energy needed to make sugars during the light- independent/dark reactions? They use the ATP and NADPH that are produced during the light-dependent reactions. They convert the 6-carbon sugars into 5-carbon sugars. They obtain the energy directly from the Sun. They use the ADP and carbon dioxide produced during the light-dependent reactions.
Plants undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Why don’t plants simply use the ATP pro¬duced in the light reactions of photosynthesis to drive cellular processes? A) The ATP produced during photosynthesis is chemically different from the ATP produced during cellular respiration and cannot be used for anabolic reactions B) ATP cannot be stockpiled so the plants would have no energy during non-daylight hours C) The plants have no way of getting the ATP made during photosynthesis out of the chloroplasts to the rest of the cell D) Plants rely on cellular respiration to remove excess O2 and prevent photorespiration
In cyclic photophosphorylation in photosystem I, ATP is produced, even though water is not split. Explain how the process takes place.
