42
Q

How do respiration and photosynthesis differ?

A
  1. Respiration releases energy from glucose
  2. Photosynthesis sotres energy by making glucose from light
43
Q

Why is glycolysis believed to be an ancient metabollic process?

A
  1. It occurs in all living organisms

CAM photosynthesis

67
Q

Which of the following molecules can give rise to the most ATP?

A. NADH
B. FADH2

A. More efficient light absoprtion
B. More efficient photolysis
C. More efficient carbon fixation
D. More efficient uptake of carbon dioxide into the stomata

A

C

C4 plants are able to successfull perform photosynthesis in these hot areas because of the presence of an enzyme called PEP carboxylase. This enzyme wants to bind to CO2 and is not tricked by the devious oxygen into using it instead of the necessary CO2
