Melvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway. Why did they predict correctly that the same set of intermediates would be formed in the light reaction in land plants?
Photosynthesis directly opposes respiration in determining how plants influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations. When a leaf is in the light, both photosynthesis and respiration are occurring simultaneously. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant that was enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The same leaf was used to collect the data in Interpret the Data in Chapter 7. Respiration is shown as a negative and photosynthesis as a positive rate of CO2 exchange. The net photosynthesis rate is the amount of CO2 (in micromoles per square meter per second) assimilated by the leaf while respiration is occurring; a positive value indicates more photosynthesis is occurring than respiration. The light exposed to the leaf is quantified as the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD); 2,000 mol/m2/s is equivalent to the amount of light occurring at midday in full Sun.

Looking at the respiration data from Interpret the Data in Chapter 7, at what temperature do you think these data were collected? Source: Data based on unpublished research by Brent Ewers, University of Wyoming.
The Overall Free Energy Change for Photosynthetic NADP+ Reduction What is the overall free energy change (G) for noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport? 4 (700-nm photons) + 4 (680-nm photons) + 2 H2O + 2 NADP+O2 + 2 NADPH + 2H+

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 does not occur in anoxygenic photosynthesis? Bacteriochlorophyll is involved in the light reaction. Water is split into oxidized and reduced parts. The system operates under anaerobic conditions. O ATP is formed via cyclic photophosphorylation.
Which of the following statements is FALSE? Group of answer choices: - Plastoquinone has a higher reduction potential than plastocyanin. - Water is the ultimate electron donor. - Proton gradient is created in the light phase of photosynthesis wherein the pH in the stroma is higher than in the lumen. - Photosystem II has chlorophylls in its reaction center that has maximum light absorption at 680 nm.
Which of the following correctly sequences the steps of non-cyclic electron transport? * Water is oxidized by the capture of light energy; these excited electrons are passed through the dark reactions, returning to chlorophyll during the final light reactions The ATP and NADPH generated by the reactions of photosystem Il and photosystem I are utilized by the Calvin Cycle to build high energy glucose molecules Electrons donated from water molecules pass through photosystem I then O photosystem II before returning to the chlorophyll molecules, generating ATP in the process Chlorophyll molecules absorb UV radiation exciting electrons which flow through photosystem I, returning to the chlorophyll molecules ) This is a required question
Which of the following statements about photosynthesis is NOT true? Light independent reactions are very similar to the electron transport chain of cellular respiration Light is absolutely essential for both aspects of photosynthesis In order replace electrons, water is split to form oxygen gas Light dependent reactions are very similar, but in reverse, to the Krebs cycle and glycolysis
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE for photosynthesis? The e- moves from H20 to NADP+. Some of the products from the dark reaction are required in the light reaction. It is an exergonic process that naturally by using energy from light It Involves conversion of 02 to H20 and C02 to glucose.
Which of the following defines photorespiration? The metabolic pathway by which most autotrophs use the energy of light to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis Process by which electron flow through electron transfer chains sets up a hydrogen ion gradient that drives ATP formation An inefficient metabolic pathway of producing sugars that occurs when O2 attaches to rubisco
