Which of the following options best explains how less chlorophyll would affect the proces of
photosynthesis in plants?
6.
A. It would increase the rate of photosynthesis because of the increased production of food.
B. It would limit the amount water plants are able to take in, resulting in a slower rate of
photosynthesis.
C. It would increase the production of oxygen because the plant would need to work hard to
feed themselves.
С.
D. It would limit the amount of light absorbed by the plant and decrease the amount of food
the plant is able to produce for itself.
What are the roles of ATP and NADPH in photosynthesis?
a. ATP and NADPH are forms of chemical energy produced from the light dependent reactions to be used in the light independent reactions that produce sugars.
b. ATP and NADPH are forms of chemical energy produced from the light independent reactions, to be used in the light dependent reactions that produce sugars.
c. ATP and NADPH are forms of chemical energy produced from the light dependent reactions to be used in the light independent reactions that produce proteins.
d. ATP and NADPH are forms of chemical energy produced from the light dependent reactions to be used in the light independent reactions that use sugars as reactants.
The role of photosystem 1 and photosystem 2 in the process of photosynthesis is to
a. absorb sunlight and distribute the energy as heat
b. absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons
c. form ATP as hydrogen ions cross the thylakoid membrane
d. transfer electrons to form NADPH
