Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Photorespiration occurs when the stomata opening is closed. In this process, the photosynthesis rate is reduced. During this mechanism, oxygen is added by rubisco rather than CO2 to RuBP in the first phase of the light-independent reaction. In this reaction, the oxygen is used, and the carbon dioxide level is low inside leaves because of closed stomata.

Students have asked these similar questions
In C4 metabolism _____________ carries the newly incorporated carbon and oxygen atoms from mesophyll cells to bundle sheath cells.
True or false
Chlorophyll absorbs the wavelength from either end of the spectrum, blue to red, but not green since it is reflected.
THE EFFECTS OF PHOTOTROPISM ON A PLANT
Materials:
a shoebox, extra cardboard, șcissors, tape, Bean plants, small cups full of soil
Procedure:
1. Plant four bean seeds in each of the soilcups. Make sure they're evenly spaced,
and plant them just a half inch under the soil.
2. Water the cups, and dump out any excess water (be careful not to tip the soil
and seeds out). Set aside.
3. Cut a large hole at one end of the shoebox. Hold the box up to the light and
be sure to tape up any other spaces where light shines through.
4. Cut two pieces of cardboard in the following sizes:
5. First make both pieces half the width of the shoebox.
6. Then make both pieces the same height of the shoebox.
7. Now divide the box in thirds and tape one cut cardboard piece on the left side
of the box at the one-third mark. Next, tape the other cardboard piece on the
right side of the box at the two-thirds mark.
8. Documents your observations.
The box should look like the box shown below.
Place the small potted…

- A student prepares a cell homogenate from spinach leaves. She performs a cell fractionation experiment to determine the centrifugal force (g-force) that will yield the highest percentage of chloroplasts in the pellet fraction. She splits the spinach homogenate into 5 equal parts and centrifuges the parts for 10 min. at 500xg, 1000xg, 1500xg, 2000xg, or 2500xg. She then determines the proportion of chloroplasts in the supernatant and pellet fractions.
