Process of photosynthesis

Reference no: EM132893505

Undergraduate and Graduate Students:

1. a. Describe in detail the process of photosynthesis. Make sure you include both the light dependent reactions and the temperature sensitive reactions.

b. Compare and contrast C3, C4, and CAM photosynthetic processes.

c. What is photorespiration, why is it a problem and under what conditions are C3 plants favored and under what conditions are C4 plants favored and why?

2. a. Describe (in words) the process of cellular respiration in detail. Make sure you include glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

b. What happens when oxygen is not available to a plant cell?c. How do plants differ in their cellular respiration from animal cells? What are the potential consequences?

3. a. Explain (in detail) the process of how water is moved up a 300 foot tall tree from the soil to the leaves and out into the air.

b. How might water transport and photosynthesis be connected? (hint, you might want to read the Ryan and Yoder paper)

c. What are the advantages and disadvantages of vessels vs tracheids?

4. a. What are the differences between macro and micro nutrients?

b. Why is nitrogen so important for plants?

c. Describe the different ways in which plants can get nitrogen.

5. a. What are the different ways in which plants can protect themselves against herbivores and pathogens?

b. Explain how a plant's "immune response" works. How is this similar to how our immune system works?

c. Compare and contrast constitutive and induced responses in plants.
