TRUE OR FALSE A coupled reaction is a pair of reactions, one exothermic and one endothermic. ATP contains less energy than ADP. In the ATP-ADP cycle, when the phosphate is removed, energy is released. In coupled reaction, an endothermic reaction supplies the energy needed to drive an exothermic reaction. Chlorophyll absorbs green light.

What properties of photosynthetic pigments allow pigments to absorb light of only certain wavelengths? Select all that apply. Some pigment molecules lack a light-trapping region. Light of any energy level can boost an electron of the pigment molecule to a higher energy level in order to be absorbed. Only light with the correct wavelength to boost an electron of the pigment to a higher energy level is absorbed. All pigment molecules possess a light-trapping region with a special structure that allows electrons to move freely between its atoms.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. Which of the following statements can be implied regarding chlorophyll? O Chlorophyll does not absorb in the UV region. O Chlorophyll is made up of only C- H, C- C, C- N and C-O single bonds. O Chlorophyll uses the blue and red colors for photosynthesis. O Chlorophyll uses the green color for photosynthesis.
Why do the reaction centers have different pigments rather than only the chlorophyls? quantitatively increasing the absorption photons narrowing coverage of the visible spectrum light increasing coverage of the visible spectrum light arranging light-harvesting complexe compensating for the high density of chlorophyll
. List the parts of the light reactions that are proteins. List the parts of the light reactions that are not proteins. This question is in reference to photosynthesis.
Can someone help me understand this. A student set up an experiment to show the effect of light color on photosynthesis in Elodea plants. She filled two test tubes with distilled water and placed a piece of Elodea in each of the tubes. She added a drop of phenol red, which turns red in a basic solution and yellow in an acidic solution. She blew in each tube before placing the volumeters on the top of the tube. Why did she blow into the tube? to add oxygen to the tube to add carbon dioxide to the tube to add carbohydrates to the tube to add sodium bicarbonate to the tube
The distinctly blue shade of a blue spruce results from the scattering of light by small waxy particles that coat the leaves. Explain how this scattering can protect the leaves from damage by short-wavelength ultraviolet light while still permitting the passage of longer wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
To assess photosynthesis, we relied heavily on a spectrophotometer to measure the color intensity of DCPIP in our solution. We set the spectrophotometer at wavelengths in the visible spectrum. What is the approximate wavelength range (in nm) for the visible spectrum? For example, the ultraviolet spectrum wavelength range is approximately 10-400 nm
Photosystems are essential to the light reactions. Which of the following is true about photosystems? * Photosystems are embedded within membranes, across which they create a proton gradient. Photosystems work together to absorb light over a larger surface area than could be possible from just one pigment molecule working alone. O Photosystems are composed of proteins and pigment molecules. All of the above
The green color of plants is explained by the wavelengths of light that are reflected, transmitted, and absorbed by the chlorophylls in the thylakoids. Which of the following statements is true? Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit yellow and green wavelengths of light, and absorb red and violet-blue wavelengths of light. Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit red and blue wavelengths of light, and absorb yellow and green wavelengths of light. Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit red and blue wavelengths of light, and absorb white wavelength of light. Plants appear green because chlorophylls reflect and transmit white wavelength of light, and absorb red and violet-blue wavelengths of light.
Cells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant cells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The photosynthetic reaction releases free energy to the surroundings. The photosynthetic reaction’s free energy is in equilibrium. The reactants of photosynthesis have less free energy than the products. The change in free energy (∆G) of the photosynthetic system is less than zero.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, electrons within the pigment molecules that are embedded in the plasma membranes of the thylakoids are hit by photons of sunlight. This dramatically increases the energy in these electrons. When photons of light strike electrons in other kinds of molecules, the electrons are raised to high energy levels, but immediately drop back down to their ground states, re-emitting the photons. However, in the light reactions, an excited electron is passed to an electron acceptor molecule before it can drop back down to its ground state. The excited electron is then passed from the primary electron receptor to the electron transport chain and eventually ends up as part of a glucose molecule. If the pigments in the thylakoid are continually passing their electrons to other molecules, how do the pigments replace their missing electrons? To replace the missing electrons, an enzyme removes the two hydrogen atoms from a water molecule.…
