Summary Introduction

To describe: The diffusion of carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule used in the photosynthesis into the chloroplast of the leaf cells.

Concept introduction: Plasma membranes are selectively permeable. Non-polar compounds such as CO2, oxygen, and hydrocarbons can dissolve in the lipid bilayer and cross the plasma membrane without the help of plasma membrane proteins.

MAKE CONNECTIONS How do the CO2 moleculesused in photosynthesis reach and enter the chloroplastsinside leaf cells? (See Concept 7.2.)
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
List 5 similarities and differences between oxidative phosphorylation and light reactions in the chloroplast
