- Plants have evolved by developing mechanisms that promote entry of CO, into the Calvin Cycle (CC) to limit photorespiration when environmental conditions tend to favor the latter. This is because photorespiration 1) is energetically inefficient (consuming more ATP than the CC alone) and 2) it does not produce any sugars that can be "fed" into cellular respiration to produce lots more ATP. A) Under what environmental conditions does photorespiration "outcompete" that of the CC? Specifically, what mechanism is responsible for committing the cell to photorespiration and what type of plant does not have any "safeguards" to ensure that the CC is performed rather than photorespiration? B) Describe the mechanisms employed by two types of plants to minimize photorespiration and ensure that the CC is carried out even when environmental conditions are not in their favor. Be sure to identify 1) the type of plant, 2) its natural environment and how it affects the plant's ability to perform the CC,…For most plants, two distinct photosystems (Photosystem I and Photosystem II) work together in series during photosynthesis. These photosystems are complexes of proteins and pigment molecules. Statement 1: Photosystem I has an absorption maximum of 680 nm, whereas Photosystem II has an absorption maximum of 700 nm. Statement 2: The special pair of chlorophyll a molecules in the reaction center of photosystem I is designated as P700, whereas the special pair of chlorophyll a molecules in the reaction center of photosystem II is designated as P680. Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false. Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true. Both statements are true. Both statements are false.Which of the following is TRUE about CAM photosynthetic pathway? Compared to the C3 and C4 pathways, CAM photosynthesis results in greater transpiration and water loss. O By separating where carbon is initially fixed inside the leaf tissue, CAM plants can better control the gradient of carbon dioxide between the air and their leaves. CAM photosynthesis is more energy efficient than C3 photosynthesis. Compared to C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways, the rate of CAM photosynthesis is limited.
- For which kind of plant, and in which condition, would you expect to find leaves with the highest SLA (Specific Leaf Area)? Selected Answer: a shade-Intolerant plant growing in sun Answers: a shade-tolerant plant growing in shade a shade-tolerant plant growing in sun a shade-intolerant plant growing in sun a shade-intolerant plant growing in shadeWhich of the following scenarios happens during the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis? Oxygen gas is produced in the thylakoid lumen by the oxidation of water by photosystem I. Ferrodoxin and NADP+ reductase participates in the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH. Carbon dioxide enters the plants via stomata. Rubisco attaches three molecules of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to one molecule of carbon dioxide.Which of the following statements about the light reactions of photosynthesis are correct? 1. Absorption of light does one thing: it makes chlorophyll easier to oxidize. 2. In PSII, the rate of damage to the D1 protein can never exceeds the rate of repair. 3. Electron transport is spontaneous (exergonic) as electrons move from P680* to P700+. 4. Compared to anoxygenic photosynthesis, in oxygenic photosynthesis less light needs to be absorbed to reduce NADP+. A. 1,2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1,2,3 and 4 are correct
- Which of the following are correct about C 4 Cycle and C 4 plants? P. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is located in to thylakoid membrane of chloroplast. Q. Malate or aspartate is transported to the bundle sheath cells. R. Photorespiration is higher in C 4 plants. S. RuBisCo is found in the bundle sheath. Q and S P and Q R and S P, Q and RIn hot, dry climates, plants have evolved mechanisms to avoid photorespiration. Which of the following is FALSE Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a b с d e C3 plants have no mechanism to avoid photorespiration C4 plants reduce photorespiration by separating the light reaction in the mesophyll cells from the light- independent reaction in the bundle-sheath cells CAM plants minimize photorespiration by collecting and storing CO2 at night and keeping their stomata closed during the day C4 plants include corn, sugarcane, and many grasses CAM plants can undergo photophosphorylation in the absence of sunlight Open in ReadirIf you could replace all of the plant ATP synthase with ATP synthase enzymes from animal cells, oriented such that the Fo complex was in the thylakoid membrane with the open channel facing the thylakoid space, and the F1 complex was present in the stroma, how would this affect the ability of photosystem II to generate ATP? Assume that the animal cell ATP synthase functions normally in the chloroplast after replacement.
- The warmth of hot flowers attracts pollinators and helps broadcast the flowers’ (often foul) scent. Corpse flower stalks can reach 98°F, as warm as our bodies. The heat and foul odor both occur in pulses produced by the central stalk. How do these flowers get so hot? Amorphophallus and other heatproducing flowers have evolved mechanisms that disconnect cellular respiration from ATP synthesis. In most cells, cellular respiration uses about 40% of the energy in glucose to synthesize ATP, with the rest given off as heat (see Chapter 8). Hot flowers, on the other hand, synthesize very little ATP; instead, almost all of the energy in glucose is released as heat, causing the flower to warm up. Besides the promise of carrion, what other features have flowers evolved that attract animal pollinators?In the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, what specifically happens in the electron transport chain between Photosystem II and Photosystem I? The excited electron accepted by the primary acceptor in Photosystem II is transferred to pheophytin and plastoquinones, then to cytochrome complex, and finally to plastocyanin. Plastocyanin then transfers the electron to the P700 in the reaction center complex of Photosystem I. The excited electron accepted by the primary acceptor in Photosystem I is transferred to pheophytin and plastoquinones, then to cytochrome complex, and finally to plastocyanin. Plastocyanin then transfers the electron to the P700 in the reaction center complex of Photosystem II. The excited electron accepted by the primary acceptor in Photosystem I is transferred to plastocyanin, then to cytochrome complex, and finally to pheophytin and plastoquinones. Plastoquinone then transfers the electron to the P700 in the reaction center complex of Photosystem II.…A) The concentration of CO2 is lower inside a plant cell than in the atmosphere (outside the cell). In your own words, describe how the CO2 levels are kept low inside the plant cell and explain why this is necessary. Assume stomata are open. B) Regarding the situation presented in Part A and assuming that the stomata of the plant leaves are closed, would this favour the induction of photorespiration in a C3 plant? Explain.
