In order to summarize Photosynthesis reactions, draw FOUR big boxes in a line down the middle of your page. Write 1) Photosystem II (water-splitting), 2) Photosystem I (NADPH-producing), 3) Chemiosmosis and 4) Carbon fixation (Calvin) Cycle inside these boxes. Below each process name write WHERE it occurs. Make arrows going in and out of each box. Write IN and OUT on top of the page above the arrows. Each box represent multi-step processes. You are focusing on the INPUTS and OUTPUTS. A. First focus on the flow of ENERGY. For each box write the INPUT and OUTPUT – the molecule(s) or form that - contain the energy. Indicate if it is kinetic or potential energy. B. Next, in a different color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of ELECTRONS. For each box write the molecule(s) that carry the electrons IN and OUT. C. And finally, in a third color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of CARBON. For each box write what molecule (if any) carries the carbon IN and OUT.

Melvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway. Why did they predict correctly that the same set of intermediates would be formed in the light reaction in land plants?
Which of the following substances does not participate in the Calvin-Benson cycle? a. ATP c. NADPH e. PGAL b. O2 d. RuBP f. CO2

Figure 8.6 On a hot, dry day, plants close their stomata to conserve water. What impact will this have on photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis directly opposes respiration in determining how plants influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations. When a leaf is in the light, both photosynthesis and respiration are occurring simultaneously. The data in the Table were collected from the leaf of a sagebrush plant that was enclosed in a chamber that measures the rate of CO2 exchange. The same leaf was used to collect the data in Interpret the Data in Chapter 7. Respiration is shown as a negative and photosynthesis as a positive rate of CO2 exchange. The net photosynthesis rate is the amount of CO2 (in micromoles per square meter per second) assimilated by the leaf while respiration is occurring; a positive value indicates more photosynthesis is occurring than respiration. The light exposed to the leaf is quantified as the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength, the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD); 2,000 mol/m2/s is equivalent to the amount of light occurring at midday in full Sun.

Looking at the respiration data from Interpret the Data in Chapter 7, at what temperature do you think these data were collected?
