Document Summary
In your experiments you will use two batches of plants, high light grown plants and low light grown plants. High light grown plants will accumulate carotenoids and shade grown plants will increase chlorophyll levels to increase the absorption of light. Selected answer: shade light plants will appear dark-green and high light plants will appear yellowish-green. Unit = mol quanta m-2 s-1, wavelength = 400-700 nm. Carotenoids are located in different compartments of the leaves than chlorophyll. D. atp is produced in the cytoplasm of plant cells. Selected answer: chloroplast movement contributes to increasing light energy absorbed and thus to maximize photosynthesis. Selected answer: unit increase in transpiration by the leaf. C. photochemical efficiency is the increase in photosynthetic rate achieved per. Selected answer: chlorophyll evaporates quickly at room temperature and therefore needs to be stored on ice. A light response curve shows the relationship between the rate of dark.
