Document Summary

Cc cylical and linear electron flow in light dependant rxn. Photosynthesis- process that converts solar e into chem e. Occurs in plants, algae, certain other protists, and some prokaryotes. Feed not only themselves but also most of the living world. Autotrophs- sustain themselves without eating anything derived from other other inorganic molecules. Producers of the biosphere (produce organic molecules from co2 and. Plants= photoautotrophs- use light e to make organic molecules from. Heterotrophs obtain their organic molecule from other organisms. Photons- small particle of e (inversely proportional to wavelength) Most biological processes use visible light b/c it has enough. E to be useful but not enough to be destructive. Photon absorption- when molecule absorbs a photon of light e, an e- becomes energized and shifts from lower e to higher e. Return to lower e orbital (ground state) and either: Leave atom and be captured by an acceptor.

D: Photosynthesis is most active in those wavelengths of light and thus more oxygen is produced by the algae in those regions.?

E: : Chlorophyll is green and thus reflects green light.

9: In any experiment, changes to the dependent variable based on the manipulations of the independent variable are measured. When determining the action spectrum of a given plant, what is the independent variable and what is the dependent variable?

A: independent = rate of O2 release in photosynthesis; dependent = wavelength?

B: ?independent = absorption of light; dependent = wavelength

C: independent = wavelength; dependent = rate of O2 release in photosynthesis?

D: independent = wavelength; dependent = absorption of light?

E: independent = rate of O2 release in photosynthesis; dependent = absorption of light

11: In order to elucidate the Calvin cycle, Calvin and his colleagues used two-dimensional paper chromatography to analyze the presence of different molecules under different conditions. What did they conclude from the accumulation of RuBP when CO2 levels were low??

A: CO2 serves as a non-competitive inhibitor of rubisco.

B: RuBP is the last substrate to react in the Calvin cycle.

C: RuBP only reacts with CO2 when concentrations of ATP are low

D: RuBP is the first substrate to react with CO2

E: RuBP only reacts with CO2 in the sunlight

12: Why isn't oxygen produced by organisms that perform anoxygenic photosynthesis?

C: they use electrons donors other than water

D: their photosystem do not utilize the calvin cycle

E: their chorophyll contains an iron rather than magnesium
