(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of sudden reduction of carbon dioxide concentration by 1000-fold will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate.

Introduction: Chlorella is a single-celled green alga which is usually found in freshwater. It carries out photosynthesis because of the presence of Chlorophyll a and b. It is known to have a very high efficiency of photosynthesis and thus can be used as a source of food.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of restriction of light to green wavelengths (510-550 nm) will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.

Introduction: Chlorella is a single-celled green alga which is usually found in freshwater. It carries out photosynthesis because of the presence of Chlorophyll a and b. It is known to have a very high efficiency of photosynthesis and thus can be used as a source of food.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of an addition of an inhibitor oh photosystem II will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.

Introduction: Chlorella is a single-celled green alga which is usually found in freshwater. It carries out photosynthesis because of the presence of Chlorophyll a and b. It is known to have a very high efficiency of photosynthesis and thus can be used as a source of food.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: What the short-term effect of reduction of oxygen concentration from 20% to 1% will be on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate.
