Chapter 34, Problem 6TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plants are non-motile living beings that are capable of producing their own food by utilizing the sunlight and carbon dioxide. They form the kingdom Plantae that includes all the plants such as trees, shrubs,

28. During respiration, most ATP is formed as a direct result of the net movement of
(A) potassium against a concentration gradient
(B) protons down a concentration gradient
(C) electrons against a concentration gradient
(D) electrons through a channel
(E) sodium ions into the cell
29. Which of the following processes is carried out more efficiently by a C. plant than by a C3
plant?
(A) Light absorption
(B) Chemiosmotic coupling
(D) Photolysis
(D) Fixation of CO,
(E) Transport of sugars
8. Most plants open their stomata during the day when light is available for photosynthesis to
favor CO2 diffusion and then close them at night to conserve water. However, plants such as
the saguaro cactus (pictured) actually open their stomata at night to fix carbon and undergo
alternative photosynthetic reactions during the day instead of capturing sunlight for light-
dependent reactions. This is an adaptation to conserve water in desert climates. With this in
mind...
a. Do you think the air and soil surrounding the cactus is typically drier or wetter than the plant?
b. How would soil moisture impact water transport in the plant?
c. Why do you think cacti lack large green leaves found in plants that undergo more traditional
forms of photosynthesis?
You continuously monitor the photosynthetic oxygen production from the leaf of a plant illuminated by white light. How and why would oxygen production change if you placed filters in front of the light source that transmit (a) only red, (b) only infrared, and (c) only green light onto the leaf?

When radioactive isotopes of oxygen atoms are put into CO2 molecules and the plant is allowed to photosynthesize, only new plant tissue (C6H12O6) is radioactive and the oxygen gas given off is not radioactive. Draw a dotted line in the photosynthesis equation to show where the oxygen atoms in CO2 go. 4.

- Discuss Concepts Concerns about global climate change and the greenhouse effect center on rising levels of greenhouse gases, including atmospheric carbon dioxide. Plants use CO for 2 photosynthesis, and laboratory studies suggest that increasedCO2 levels could cause a rise in photosynthetic activity. However, as one environmentalist noted, What plants do in environmental chambers may not happen in nature, where there are many other interacting variables.
