As energy passes from blue-absorbing chlorophylls down to red-absorbing chlorophylls, surprisingly, no energy passes from lower energy-absorbing pigments back to higher ones (in other words, the process is irreversible). Why might that be?
A group of scientists wants to test the effect of different wavelengths of light on plant photosynthesis. They have 3 treatment groups: red light, green light, and no light. They choose red light because
chlorophyll has been shown to absorb red light. They choose green light because chlorophyll has been shown to reflect green light. They choose no light as a negative control to examine the rate of
photosynthesis in the absence of light. To measure photosynthetic rate, the scientists use sensors to measure oxygen production of plants exposed to the different light treatments.
Choose the best scientific hypothesis:
O Photosynthesis is a critical process for plants, and it is of great importance that we understand how it is impacted by different wavelengths of light.
O If rate of oxygen production is higher under red light than it is under green light or no light, it proves that red light has the largest effect on photosynthesis.
O Because chlorophyll absorbs red light, rate of oxygen…

- Let’s say you have just been hired by a biotechnology company that develops herbicides that are used to kill invasive plants. Before you start, you must research current herbicides and determine how exactly they kill the plants. Choose an herbicide from the list and describe how it kills the plants it is used on. Each of the herbicides disrupts photosynthesis, explain which part of photosynthesis the herbicide disrupts and how it does so.

- Rubisco can bind with CO2 or 02. When it binds with O2, it "wastes" some of the energy captured from the sun. This reaction is photorespiration and is favored at high temperatures and low CO2:02 ratios. Which of the following strategies should limit photorespiration (select all that apply). Keep stomata closed. Keep stomata open. Physically separate the light and light-independent reactions. Temporally separate CO2 uptake and fixation.arrow_forwardDuring a La nifia event, the temperature of the Pacific Ocean near Central America becomes cooler than normal. As a result, more clouds form, and this can block sunlight from reaching plants in Central America forests. A researcher studying the effects of La nifia measured the amount of carbon dioxide ( CO,) uptake by tropical plants under different light intensities.The data are shown in the graph. Predict how a la nifia event effects the rate of photosynthesis by plants in the tropical forests of Central America. Provide evidence from the graph to support your prediction. Enter your answer in the box provided.arrow_forwardCells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant cells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The photosynthetic reaction releases free energy to the surroundings. The photosynthetic reaction’s free energy is in equilibrium. The reactants of photosynthesis have less free energy than the products. The change in free energy (∆G) of the photosynthetic system is less than zero.arrow_forward
- The lab exploration we just completed looked at the process of Response area in a Response area and Response area in a Response area. The first task was to show that plants need photosynthesis to perform photosynthesis. This is captured by a pigment called Response area , which is found in the chloroplasts of a plant cell. In order for the plant to perform photosynthesis, it also needed Response area and Response area.

Chlorophyll pigments absorb maximum light in the green wavelength. Reaction center of PSI is P700arrow_forwardA stoma (plural: stomata) is a tiny pore found on the underside of a leaf. When open, carbon dioxide can diffuse from the atmosphere, where it is present at approximately Catm= 0.70 mg/L, between the L = 5 μm thick guard cells, into the relatively well mixed air cavity within each stoma, and from the cavity into cells that consume it during photosynthesis.
