Unit 3: Concept 4B - Chemosynthesis

Question 1

chemosynthesis

Answer 1

process of an organism making its own food using chemicals instead of sunlight

Question 2

rate of photosynthesis

Answer 2

light intensity,
amount of CO2,
temperature

Question 3

light intensity

Answer 3

excites more e- causing light reactions to happen faster

Question 4

amount of CO2

Answer 4

more ingredients to work with the process through cycle

Question 5

temperature

Answer 5

increased temperature accelerates chemical reactions to a degree

Question 6

why do root cells in a plant not need chloroplasts?

Answer 6

chloroplasts catch sunlight; since roots are underground, they are NOT exposed to the sun,
therefore, they cannot complete photosynthesis

Question 7

alternate pathways

Answer 7

stomata and photorespiration

Question 8

stomata

Answer 8

pores on underside of leaf,
when it is too hot/dry, plant will close stomata so it doesn’t lose too much water

Question 9

photorespiration

Answer 9

CO2 drops, levels of O2 increase,
adds oxygen to Calvin Cycle instead of CO2,
makes NO sugar or ATP, detrimental to plant

Question 10

two types of photosynthesis

Answer 10

CAM and C4

Question 11

CAM

Answer 11

opens stroma at night and closes during the day (opposite of normal plants),
plants grow slower

Question 12

C4

Answer 12

partially closes stomata during the hottest part of the day,
only needs 1/2 as much water than normal plants
