There are two photosystems involved in the light reaction of photosynthesis. Both take upenergy from the sun in the form of light.A. Where are the photosystems located and what is the name of the organelle?
B. Where does the energy that the photosystems take up, go? Describe for eachphotosystem WHERE the energy ends up at the end of the light reactions. In otherwords, what products contain the energy from which photosystem at the end ofthe light reaction?
What cellular features and processes are similar in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Both processes are contained in organelles with single membranes, and both use a version of the cytochrome complex.
Both processes are contained in organelles with double membranes, and neither use a version of the cytochrome complex.
Both processes are contained in organelles with double membranes, and use a version of the cytochrome complex.
Both processes are contained in organelles with single membranes, and neither use a version of the cytochrome complex.
As energy passes from blue-absorbing chlorophylls down to red-absorbing chlorophylls, surprisingly, no energy passes from lower energy-absorbing pigments back to higher ones (in other words, the process is irreversible). Why might that be?

- What is the overall outcome of the light reactions in photosynthesis? NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions and are used to power the light independent reactions. NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions. Sugar and ATP are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light independent reactions. Carbon dioxide and NADPH are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions.arrow_forwardHow is it possible that all animal life depends on the chloroplast for energy?arrow_forwardWhy are chloroplasts not a component used by both plants and cyanobacteria to carry out photosynthesis?arrow_forward

- 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_forwardHow is the function of the thylakoid membrane similar to that of the inner mitochondrial membrane?arrow_forwardWhat are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis? 1) production of ATP, oxygen, and NADPH O 2) production of ATP, water, and NADH 3) regeneration of NAD+ O 4) Production of G3P and ATP O 5) production of oxygen and NAD+arrow_forward
- What are the two places where light energy is required in the light reaction of photosynthesis? Why must energy be supplied at precisely these points?arrow_forwardPlant cells can perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. These two processes depend upon each other. Describe in detail the relationship between water and oxygen gas in plant cells. Include a description of the processes in which each is used and give the name of the organelle where each of these processes occurs.arrow_forwardChloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoids. Chlorophyll directly absorbs light for use in photosynthesis. Carotenoids absorb light and transfer the energy from light to chlorophyll. The efficiency of photosynthesis varies with the wavelengths of the light that illuminates the chloroplasts. In an experiment to study the relationship between the incoming light wavelengths and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis using a species of green algae, a researcher labeled the CO2 supply to the algae with 14C, and the H2O with 18O. Which of the following results is expected? More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 18O is found in the algae when it is illuminated by green light than when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light. More 14C is found in the algae when it is illuminated by blue-violet and red light than when it is illuminated by green light. More 18O is found in the algae when…arrow_forward
