What do organisms need along with chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis?
(Choose all that apply.)
Sunlight
Carbon dioxide
OGlucose
Water
Students are preforming an experiment to study the role of light in photosynthesis. They place an Elodea plant into a large test tube with water and assemble a volumeter using a cork and calibrated glass tubing. Then, the apparatus is placed near a lamp. Soon after, the water level in the tubing begins to move upward. Why does the edge of the water move upward?
You are cleaning your room and accidentally move your plant into the closet and
forget about it for one week.
a) Which molecules are not produced in the plant if light is not present? What effect
do these molecules have on photosynthesis?
b) Explain the effect of leaving the plant in darkness for one week on cellular
respiration.

- What is the overall purpose of the light reactions in photosynthesis?arrow_forwardChloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoids. Chlorophyll directly absorbs light for use in photosynthesis. Carotenoids absorb light and transfer the energy from light to chlorophyll. The efficiency of photosynthesis varies with the wavelengths of the light that illuminates the chloroplasts. In an experiment to study the relationship between the incoming light wavelengths and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis using a species of green algae, a researcher labeled the CO2 supply to the algae with 14C, and the H2O with 18O. Which of the following results is expected? More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 18O is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light than when it is illuminated by green light. More 18O is found in the algae when…arrow_forwardIf chlorophyll is extracted from plant cells and exposed to light, it absorbs light energy momentarily and this energy is almost immediately reradiated as light. Thus chlorophyll molecules can not cause photosynthesis by themselves. Why? What is required for photosynthesis to occur?arrow_forward
- What is the overall outcome of the light reactions in photosynthesis? NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions and are used to power the light independent reactions. NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions. Sugar and ATP are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light independent reactions. Carbon dioxide and NADPH are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions.arrow_forwardCells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant cells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The photosynthetic reaction releases free energy to the surroundings. The photosynthetic reaction’s free energy is in equilibrium. The reactants of photosynthesis have less free energy than the products. The change in free energy (∆G) of the photosynthetic system is less than zero.arrow_forwardA botanist has been examining three plants, measuring the amount of acid in their cells and examining sections of their leaves under the microscope.
