Document Summary
Co2 and o2 production and consumption in respiration versus photosynthesis. How does one determine the rate of respiration. Since photosynthesis uses light in gas exchange therefore both the processes are working. Co2 fixation rate is always -8 (first year) Since the rate of calvin cycle is limited to the light. Amount of atp and nadph proportional amount of light. Limiting the rate at which the calvin cycle spins. What is the light intensity needed to give us a zero net gas exchange. The light intensity that gives 0 co2 fixation. Function of mitochondria balance with the function of chloroplast. If under the lcp, mitochondria are releasing more co2 than the calvin cycle is bring in. Enzyme activity: the rate at which enzymes are being made. Change in color in the presences of a product. What explains the shape of velocity versus [s] curve for an enzyme. Linear relationship at first then it becomes saturated (curved)
