- REFLECT AND APPLY If photosynthesizing plants are grown in the presence of 14CO2, is every carbon atom of the glucose that is produced labeled with the radioactive carbon? Why or why not?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY In biochemistry, the exergonic process of converting glucose and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water in aerobic metabolism can be considered the reverse of photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose and oxygen. Do you expect both processes to be exergonic, both endergonic, or one exergonic and one endergonic? Why? Would you expect both processes to take place in the same way? Why?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY Metabolic cycles are rather common (Calvin cycle, citric acid cycle, urea cycle). Why are cycles so useful to organisms?arrow_forward

(b) Why dont plants use fats/oils as their major energy storage compound?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY You are studying with a friend who is describing the Bohr effect. She tells you that in the lungs, hemoglobin binds oxygen and releases hydrogen ion; as a result, the pH in- creases. She goes on to say that in actively metabolizing muscle tissue, hemoglobin releases oxygen and binds hydrogen ion and, as a result, the pH decreases. Do you agree with her reasoning? Why or why not?arrow_forward
