- Excited molecules can return to the ground state by severalmeans. Describe each briefly. Which of these processes areimportant in photosynthesis? Describe how they function ina living organism.arrow_forwardWhat is the main difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Photosynthesis stores energy, and cellular respiration releases energy. O Photosynthesis breaks down sugar, and cellular respiration makes sugar. O Photosynthesis takes place only in plants, and cellular respiration takes place only in animals. O Photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria, and cellular respiration takes place in the chloroplaarrow_forwardThe reactants of photosynthesis are... carbon dioxide + water + light (energy) O oxygen + carbon dioxide O oxygen +glucose O light (energy) + glucose + waterarrow_forward
- During oxygenic photosynthesis, what happens to the oxygen atoms that were originally present only in substrate water molecules (as they are transformed into product molecules)? they end up in carbon dioxide, glucose, and water molecules they end up in both glucose and water molecules they end up in glucose molecules only they end up in carbon dioxide molecules only they end up in diatomic oxygen gas molecules onlyarrow_forwardThe diagram shows the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in relation to each other. Sunlight energy CO, HO Cellular respiration ATP for work Photosynthesis CH,0 0, What can be concluded from the diagram? O Light energy is converted into chemical energy in photosynthesis. O Light energy is converted into chemical energy in cellular respiration. O Cellular respiration utilizes ATP to release energy in the form of heat. O Photosynthesis releases oxygen and ATP that are used in cellular respiration.

CO2 only H2O and C6H12O6 only H2O only C6H12O6 and O2 only O2 onlyarrow_forward
- Cells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant cells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The photosynthetic reaction releases free energy to the surroundings. The photosynthetic reaction’s free energy is in equilibrium. The reactants of photosynthesis have less free energy than the products. The change in free energy (∆G) of the photosynthetic system is less than zero.arrow_forwardMatch the step or structure in which each happens during Photosynthesis: A. Step where the water is split ? Goup choose : Light Dependant - Chlorphyll - Chloroplast - Precursor to Glucose -Calvin Cycle - Oxygen B. Result of splitting water that doesn’t move to next step? Goup choose : Light Dependant - Chlorphyll - Chloroplast - Precursor to Glucose -Calvin Cycle - Oxygen C. Organelle where Photosynthesis occurs? Goup choose : Light Dependant - Chlorphyll - Chloroplast - Precursor to Glucose -Calvin Cycle - Oxygen D. Site of sunlight absorption that excites electrons ? Goup choose : Light Dependant - Chlorphyll - Chloroplast - Precursor to Glucose -Calvin Cycle - Oxygen E. Step where Carbon Dioxide is pulled together ? Goup choose : Light Dependant - Chlorphyll - Chloroplast - Precursor to Glucose -Calvin Cycle - Oxygen F. Product of Carbon Dioxide being pulled together? Goup choose : Light…arrow_forwardThis question pertains to photosynthesisarrow_forward
- Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoids. Chlorophyll directly absorbs light for use in photosynthesis. Carotenoids absorb light and transfer the energy from light to chlorophyll. The efficiency of photosynthesis varies with the wavelengths of the light that illuminates the chloroplasts. In an experiment to study the relationship between the incoming light wavelengths and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis using a species of green algae, a researcher labeled the CO2 supply to the algae with 14C, and the H2O with 18O. Which of the following results is expected? More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 18O is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light than when it is illuminated by green light. More 18O is found in the algae when…arrow_forwardIf photosynthesis and cellular respiration are reverse equations, thenwhy can’t mitochondria carry on photosynthesis?arrow_forwardWhat do organisms need along with chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis? (Choose all that apply.) Sunlight Carbon dioxide OGlucose Waterarrow_forward
