Photosynthesis is a biochemical pathway that involves three kinds of activities. Name these and explain how they are related to each other.

The following image is a schematic of the metabolic processes occurring in a plant contained in a closed container.   A=Light Dependent reactions B=Glycolysis C=Light Independent Reactions D=Kreb's cycle E=electron transport chain   2a) Use the figure above to explain the conditions in which the oxygen concentration remains constant in the container. b) 2-carboxyarabinitol-1,5-bisphosphate (CABP) is an inhibitor of the enzyme rubisco. Which pathway would this affect most?

Part of understanding  complex metabolic processes like photosynthesis is tracking what is happening at each stage of the pathway.  As you construct this table to use as a study tool, think about what is happening in the cell and why each phase is essential for the overall function of photosynthesis.  Fill out the table below.  You may use your lecture materials, and figures from Chapter 8 of your book are especially useful for this!  Use the following terms in your table (each term may be used more than once).  For the Calvin Cycle, include the number of molecules in each stage, starting with 6 molecules of CO2. thylakoid membrane, stroma photons, H2O, O2, CO2, e-, H+, ADP, P, ATP, NADP+, NADPH G3P, RuBP, PGA, glucose   Where it occurs What goes in What comes out Light Dependent: Photosystem II + b6-f complex       Light Dependent: Photosystem I + NADP reductase + ATP synthase       Calvin Cycle: Carbon fixation       Calvin Cycle: Reduction       Calvin Cycle:…

By what oxygen is not produced during photosynthesis?

O2 produced during photosynthesis comes from water. Comment.

ATP formed during photosynthesis is considered _________________ phosphorylation.       Substrate level   Oxidative   Photo   Revers

To understand photosynthesis, it is important to first understand the larger picture of what molecules the cell uses and generates and how the different molecules cycle between different reactions. The diagram shows a broad overview of the two stages of photosynthesis. Select the label that best corresponds to the lettered blanks in the diagram below.   The parentheses represent the choices for each label on the graph.   A. (ADP, ATP, O2, Co2) B. (NADPH, Sugars, NADP+, Sunlight) C. (H2O, Sugars, O2, Co2) D. (Sugars, Co2, O2)

Photosynthesis requires ATP to produce glucose. Why do plants spend ATP to produce glucose if they then use glucose to produce ATP?
