Exam 8: Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll b absorbs green wavelengths of light that chlorophyll a cannot absorb.In this respect,chlorophyll b acts as

Which type of plant can utilize the Calvin cycle?

If the gene encoding the enzyme rubisco is mutated such that it is non-functional,the process that would be affected is the ability to

Which plants utilize a specialized carbon fixation enzyme and a unique cell structure to reduce the problems of photorespiration?

If you tagged organic carbon inside a chloroplast with a fluorescent label,the location most likely to have a high concentration of labeled carbon would be in the

Light consists of units of energy called

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA)is involved in the regulation of photorespiration.Based on this information,ABA likely plays a role in

Plants that show a pattern of stomatal opening and closing that is the reverse of C₃ plants are called

The number of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules that would be produced from 24 turns of the Calvin cycle would be

In photosynthesis,ATP is made by

For photosynthesis in green plants,the electron donor for the light-dependent reaction is

Flattened sacs of internal membranes associated with photosynthesis are called

In the photosystem I reaction center,light energy captured by pigment molecules is passed to a special reaction center chlorophyll a called

A plant is treated with a chemical that blocks the flow of electrons between photosystem II and photosystem I,such that protons are not transported from the stroma into the thylakoid compartment.What is the effect of this chemical on photosynthesis?

The photosynthetic electron transport causes the accumulation of protons in which part of the chloroplast?

CAM and C₄ plants likely grow in what type of environment?

Carotenoids are important to many plants because these pigments are able to

In plants,the light-dependent reactions require

Where do the carbon atoms in glucose come from?

The cyclic carbon fixation reactions are also known as the
