Explain how the structure of the chlorophyll molecules and the carotenoids facilitate energy absorption.
Explain in your own words, the difference between noncyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation in terms of O2, ATP and NADPH.
How have cyanobacteria and green algae evolved differently in terms of photosystems?
Explain how the light reaction facilitates the dark reaction.
When chloroplasts are crushed and a suspension is made, they do not produce G3P even with enough CO2 and H2O. Explain.
Maltose is made of 2 glucose molecules. If one molecule of maltose is made in a plant cell, how many times must CO2 go through the Calvin cycle? How many ATP and NADPH are needed?
Compare the chemiosmostic theory in chloroplasts with that in the mitochondria
Give examples of C4 plants and the general conditions and climates they grow in.
How is a C4 plant equipped to survive and adapt to its conditions? Explain in terms of the Hatch-Slack Pathway.
Describe CAM plants and give examples and the conditions they grow in.
Explain why it is advantageous for the stomata of CAM plants to open at night and be able to do both C4 and C3 pathways.
At what time of the day would you expect to find the most malate in a CAM plant? At what time of the day would you expect to find the most G3P? Explain.
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
