Q

How are the cyclic cylce and non-cylic cycle different?

21
Q

Cooperation of the two photosystems of the chloroplast is required for

A

reduction of NADP+

22
Q

In “mechanism” photophosphorylation is most similar to ___

A

oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration

23
Q

In what respects are the photosynthetic adaptations of the C4 plants and the CAM plants similar?

A

both make most of their sugar in the dark

24
Q

which process is most directly driven by light energy?

A

removal of electrons from membrane-bound chlorophyll molecules

25
Q

Chloroplast is to ____ as mitochondria is to cellular respiration

A

photosynthesis

26
Q

What color of light is least effective in driving photosynthesis?

A

green

27
Q

How would you expect the relative abundance of C3 versus C4 and CAM species to chnage in a geographic region whose climate becomes much hotter and drier?

A

C4 and CAM would replace many of the C3 species

28
Q

How does the ETC help produce ATP?

A

As the electrons fall down the chain to a lower energy level they produce ATP since the fall is exergonic.

Q

Where do plants get their oxygen?

A

water
