- Melvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway. Why did they predict correctly that the same set of intermediates would be formed in the light reaction in land plants?arrow_forwardThis is a leaf from Elodea, an aquatic plant.

- Why can solar induced fluorescence be used to infer net photosynthesis? Please explain in detail how this is possible.arrow_forwardPlease help mearrow_forwardSolar-induced fluorescence can be used to infer net photosynthesis. This is because this solar-induced fluorescence is able to measure the light that is used by the chlorophyll-a pigment (650-850nm). There is a linear relationship between this solar-induced fluorescence and the gross primary production of a plant. How does measuring chlorophyll-a pigment with solar-induced fluorescence help us infer net photosynthesis?arrow_forward
- 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. The dependent variable in the student's experiment is: O centrifugal force (x g) O time of centrifugation O proportion of chloroplasts in pellet O spinach lcavesarrow_forwardCan someone help me understand this. A student set up an experiment to show the effect of light color on photosynthesis in Elodea plants. She filled two test tubes with distilled water and placed a piece of Elodea in each of the tubes. She added a drop of phenol red, which turns red in a basic solution and yellow in an acidic solution. She blew in each tube before placing the volumeters on the top of the tube. Why did she blow into the tube? to add oxygen to the tube to add carbon dioxide to the tube to add carbohydrates to the tube to add sodium bicarbonate to the tubearrow_forwardLight that the chlorophyll-a pigment uses may be measured by the solar-induced fluorescence (650-850nm). This fluorescence caused by the sun and a plant's gross primary output are correlated linearly. Why can solar induced fluorescence be used to infer net photosynthesis?arrow_forward
- I am trying to figure out these four things. What is the independent variable, what is the dependent variable, what are the controlled variables and why this experiment doesn’t use a control.arrow_forwardWhat were the reasons for color change in phenol solution when the test tube with plant leaf and no foil. This was the test tube that had a leaf and was exposed to sunlight. Select all that apply. A)Respiration raised the pH B)All of these C)The leaf underwent photosynthesis D)Photosynthesis consumed CO2arrow_forwardTwo groups of tomatoes were grown under laboratoryconditions, one with humus added to the soil and one acontrol without humus. The leaves of the plants grownwithout humus were yellowish (less green) compared withthose of the plants grown in humus-enriched soil. The bestexplanation is that(A) the healthy plants used the food in the decomposing leavesof the humus for energy to make chlorophyll.(B) the humus made the soil more loosely packed, so waterpenetrated more easily to the roots.(C) the humus contained minerals such as magnesium andiron needed for the synthesis of chlorophyll.(D) the heat released by the decomposing leaves of the humuscaused more rapid growth and chlorophyll synthesis.arrow_forward
