Q

where does the light independent reactions occur? what about the light dependent?

16
Q

what is photorespiration

A

it is when rubisco binds to oxygen and does not create glucose and waste needs to be carried out with peroxisomes. the plant looses carbon

17
Q

where does the calvin cycle happen in spartial isolation to prevent photorespiration

A

it happens in the bunndle sheath cells (in C4 photosynthesis)

18
Q

where does photosynthesis happen in spartial isolation to prevent photorespiration

A

it happens in the mesophyll cell

19
Q

In temporal isolation what happens and what cells are involvd

A

stromata open during the night to allow oxygen to escape the plant…. at night it closes

20
Q

when does the Calvin cycle happen in temporal isolation to prevent photorespiration

A

during the day

21
Q

what is C2 photosynthesis

A

it is photorespiration

22
Q

what is C3 photosynthesis

A

normal photosynthesis that can not prevent photorespiration

23
Q

what is C4 photosynthesis

A

preventing photorespiration by seperating the places that photosynthesis happens ( in the mesophyl) and calvin cycle (bundle sheath cell)

24
Q

what is CAM photosynthesis

A

preventing photorespiration by sepreating the time the calvin cycle happens. During the day the stomata closes to prevent oxygen from coming out and during the day it opens to let oxygen out.

25
Q

Stomata are surrounded by what cell

A

guard cells

26
Q

There are about a _________(hint a number)

photosystems in each thylakoid and

A

few hundred

27
Q

i the calvin cycle a light or dark reaction

A

dark

28
Q

what s chemioosmosis

A

it is when H+ go across the membrane usually to make energy
