Question
Chapter 8, Problem 14TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
A molecule that has to be provided to a plant to make glucose in the dark.
Introduction:
Green plants contain chlorophyll pigments that help them to synthesize their own food. These plants are called autotrophs. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant that contain chlorophyll pigments to absorb light energy and convert them to chemical energy.

please draw diagram/model
Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants.
For photosynthesis lab in biology
1) This lab uses spinach leaves. Name another plant that would make an interesting comparison to spinach. Explain why you think this leaf would provide an interesting comparison
2) The lights used in this experiment are 60W. What would you predict the effect of having stronger or weaker wattage bulbs would be on your results? Explain.
3)This lab uses 0.2% sodium bicarbonate. What would you predict the effect of raising or lowering the percentage would be on your results? Explain.
4)What are TWO other things that might be manipulated in an experiment using this same protocol other than the type of leaf, percent sodium bicarbonate, and wattage of light bulb?
5) What key thing do you have to look for on the graph to know for certain that your treatment has caused a significant effect?

Seeds of the angiosperm were divided into four equal groups. Groups 1 and 2 were exposed to 200 µmol, and Groups 3 and 4 were exposed to 500 µmol. Groups 2 and 4 also received a phosphorous (P) solution. After 20 days, all plants were weighed, and the average dry weight of each group was calculated. The results are in the table below.

- Cells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant cells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The photosynthetic reaction releases free energy to the surroundings. The photosynthetic reaction’s free energy is in equilibrium. The reactants of photosynthesis have less free energy than the products. The change in free energy (∆G) of the photosynthetic system is less than zero.arrow_forwardMost agricultural societies have developed ways to ferment the sugars in barley, wheat, rice, corn or fruit to produce alcoholic beverages. Historians argue that this was an effective way for farmers to preserve the chemical energy in grains and fruits in a form that would not be eaten by rats or spoiled by bacteria or fungus. Today, a great deal of interest has been regenerated in harvesting this energy in plant sugar as ethanol. Why does a great deal of chemical energy remain in the products of fermentation? Fermentation products like ethanol still contains some C-H bonds that can be reduced. Fermentation products like ethanol still contains some C-O bonds that can be oxidized.

Reflected light refers to those wavelengths of light that will "bounce off" of the chlorophyll and not be absorbed. Select the conclusion that most accurately summarizes the data in diagram 3. Red and blue light waves have equal importance during photosynthesis. The majority of light energy is attained from red light, while the blue light waves provide additional light energy to photosynthesis. The majority of light energy is attained from blue light, while the red light waves provide additional light energy to photosynthesis. Medium length light waves are important to photosynthesis Absorptionarrow_forwardAs you might suspect, B-carotene, C,Hw precursor to vitamin A, was first isolated from carrots. Dilute solutions of B-carotene are yellow, hence its use as a food coloring. In plants, it is almost always present in combination with chlorophyll to assist in the harvesting of the energy of sunlight and to protect the plant against reactive species produced in photo- synthesis. As tree leaves die in the fall, the green of their chlorophyll molecules is replaced by the yellows and reds of carotene and carotene-related molecules. Compare the carbon skeletons of B-carotene and lycopene. What are the similarities? What are the differences? H3C. H3C CH3 CH3 CH3 H,C CH3 CH3 CH3 B-Carotenearrow_forward

TRUE OR FALSE A coupled reaction is a pair of reactions, one exothermic and one endothermic. ATP contains less energy than ADP. In the ATP-ADP cycle, when the phosphate is removed, energy is released. In coupled reaction, an endothermic reaction supplies the energy needed to drive an exothermic reaction.
