Summary Introduction

To analyze: If a poison inhibiting an enzyme of the Calvin cycle would also inhibit the light reactions.

Introduction: The Calvin cycle is often referred to as the C3 cycle. It is the process by which the carbon from the carbon cycle gets fixed into sugars in a series of chemical processes. The chloroplast of the plant cell is where it takes place.

In contrast, the light reaction is the first stage of photosynthesis where ATP and NADPH are produced.

Please help! Photosynthesis and Cell respiration:  A. What should happen to the O2 levels in a closed container containing a plant during the day? why?  B. And what happens to the O2 levels during the night (no light)? Why?
IS THIS A GOOD BREAK DOWN? WHAT ELSE CAN I SHOULD I ADD?  Briefly explain the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: where does this take place, what are the reactants and what is produced? Light-dependent reactions are used to convert light energy into chemical energy for use by the plants. Through the process of photosynthesis, the energy collected from the sun is broken down, along with water molecules, to produce NADPH and ATP. Light-dependent reactions Goal Convert light energy into chemical energy Location Chloroplasts—thylakoids Input Sunlight, H2O, NADP+, ADP Output NADPH, ATP, O2
Another Thought Question! Calculate the gross and net photosynthetic productivity for this whole plant (lear stems & roots) in this experiment. What do you think is happening in this plant regard to the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis, and might a living plant be exhibiting these metabolic characteristics?
