Exam 7: Capturing Solar Energy: Photosynthesis

All of the following compounds are necessary constituents for photosynthesis EXCEPT:

A(n)________ is composed of a light-harvesting complex and an electron transport system.

In C3 plants, the Calvin cycle occurs in the chloroplasts of ________ cells, but in C4 plants, the Calvin cycle occurs in the ________ cells.

The energy of the movement of electrons down a concentration gradient via electron transport within the thylakoid membrane is used to generate:

Where does the O2 released during photosynthesis come from?

Photorespiration is detrimental for a plant because:

Glucose is made during which of the following reactions?

Photosystem II generates ________, and photosystem I generates ________, both of which are required by the light reactions.

The photosystems are involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. True or False?

The replacement electrons for the reaction center of photosystem II come from:

The majority of the leaf's chloroplasts are found in the mesophyll cells. True or False?

During the light reactions of photosynthesis, the synthesis of ________ is coupled to the diffusion of protons.

Which sequence accurately describes the flow of electrons in photosynthesis?

In the C4 pathway, what is the source of carbon?

Carbon dioxide is required in the light reactions of photosynthesis. True or False?

Explain how the leaf is adapted for capturing energy from sunlight and for acquiring carbon dioxide and water.

Light-harvesting pigments in the chloroplast include chlorophyll and the accessory pigments called ________.

The process of photosynthesis converts solar energy to ________ energy stored in the bonds of glucose.

Is glucose a direct product of the Calvin cycle?
