In the Light Reaction of Photosynthesis, the sun excites electrons in pigment molecules in the photosystems. These excited electrons and (H+ ions) go through electron transport systems. Keep in mind that if this process continued as stated, the pigment molecules would run out of electrons, but fortunately there is a way in which the excited electrons are replaced. Explain how the electrons are ultimately replaced and what the important byproduct is.
A. The C4 plant performs photosynthesis more efficiently than the C3 when the CO2 concentration is 600ppm or less. Provide one reason why the rate of photosynthesis doesn’t change for the C4 plant when the CO2 concentration increases above 400 ppm.
B. Discuss what is happening in the C3 plant when the CO2 levels are below 50 ppm. Provide one reason why this does NOT happen to the C4 plant.
The ultimate source of energy in our planet is sunlight. In the first stage of photosynthesis, light energy is captured in chlorophyll-containing reaction centers (PSII and PSI). What is the first step in the capture of light energy at PSII?
a. The energy carriers ATP and NADPH + H+ are synthesized.
b. CO2 reacts with the C5 sugar ribulose-1,5-bis-phosphate in the first step of the Calvin cycle.
c. Starch is synthesized.
d. H2O is photolyzed and its electrons are captured by special chlorophyll molecules.
e. Sucrose is synthesized from glucose and fructose.
