Chapter 7, Problem 1SQ
Is the following statement true or false? Unlike animals, which make many ATP by aerobic respiration, plants make all of their ATP by photosynthesis.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “Unlike animals, which make many ATP molecules by aerobic respiration, plants make all of their ATP by photosynthesis” is true or false.
Introduction: Aerobic respiration is the process in which oxygen is required for cellular respiration, breaking down of organic molecules, and for producing ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
Answer to Problem 1SQ
Correct answer: The statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
The plant produces sugar and releases oxygen by the process of photosynthesis. Aerobic respiration consists of glycolysis, acetyl-CoA formation, the citric acid cycle, and electron transfer. The breakdown of sugar in aerobic respiration requires oxygen, and it produces ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. Plants make ATP not only through photosynthesis in chloroplasts, but it also makes ATP through cellular respiration in mitochondria.
Hence, the statement is false.

Is the following statement true or false? Unlike animals,which make many ATP by aerobic respiration, plantsmake all of their ATP by photosynthesis
There is a constant flow of energy between the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis produces a small amount of ATP energy which is used in cellular respiration to produce
more ATP molecules for use in cellular functions.
Place the following statements in order (some have been done for you) to summarize how the two
processes work together to produce usable energy for all living organisms.
1. Light energy is absorbed by the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts.
2.
3.
4. PGAL is used to make glucose molecules (energy storage).
5.
6.
7.
8.
9. NADH from the Krebs cycle and O2 from the light reactions of photosynthesis are used in the electron
transport chain to create a proton gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
10.
11.
Energy from ATP and NADPH is used to fix CO2 and form PGAL (Calvin-Benson cycle)
Pyruvate is broken down into CO2 and acetyl CoA in the matrix
Krebs cycle makes NADH molecules
The absorbed energy is used to make ATP and…
Which of the following statements about the challenges of C3 photosynthesis under hot conditions
is TRUE?
O When they close stomatal cells, they save water but lose too much O2.
O Rubisco has a higher affinity for CO2, making the rate of photosynthesis too rapid.
When stomatal cells close, photorespiration increases and CO2 is lost.
C3 plants have to spend energy to store carbon in a separate specialized cell.
