Photosynthesis

Melvin Calvin discovered:

The dark reactions of photosynthesis

Plants use energy from the sun to make glucose. What type of organism are they?

autotroph

Step three of the _____ _____ regenerates ribulose-5-phosphate, which is needed to restart the cycle.

calvin cycle

The most common _____ fixation pathway combines one molecule of CO2 with a 5-carbon sugar called ribulose biphosphate (RuBP).

carbon

During the Calvin cycle, ______ ____ is the process that converts carbon dioxide in the air to organic molecules of glucose.

carbon fixation

In both CAM and C4 plants, what happens first during the Calvin cycle?

carbon is fixed

What is the first part of the Calvin cycle?

carbon is fixed

The ATP and NADPH formed during the light reactions store _____ energy that is used during the Calvin cycle to build glucose.

chemical

What green pigment captures light energy needed for photosynthesis?

chlorophyll

Which of the following is NOT a pathway for carbon fixation?

chlorophyll

What is the main final product of the Calvin cycle?

glucose

A ______ is any organism, such as animals or fungi, that obtains energy from other living things.

heterotroph

During carbon fixation, low-energy inorganic CO2 is built into high-energy organic molecules, like glucose.

true

Leaves are a plant's major site of photosynthesis and gas exchange with the atmosphere. True or False?

true

RuBisCo catalyzes a reaction in the Calvin cycle.

true

Which plant tissue makes up leaf veins?

xylem, phloem

In the C3 pathway, the first stable compound is galactose.

false

Leaves can perform only photosynthesis.

false

Photosynthesis is the process to make food in the absence of sunlight.

false

Photosynthesis occurs in the epidermis of leaves.

false

Carbon dioxide for photosynthesis enters a leaf through pores called stomata.

true

The _____ cycle is an example of a recurring sequence of events that create products that become reactants in later events.

Calvin

Carbon dioxide is fixed. This process occurs in the ________ stage of photosynthesis.

Calvin cycle

During the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, ____________.

Carbon dioxide is chemically changed into organic compounds

Attachment of carbon dioxide to _____ is the first step in the Calvin cycle.

RuBP (ribulose bisphosphate)

The enzyme ______ catalyzes the reaction that combines CO2 with a 5-carbon sugar, ribulose biphosphate, to initiate the Calvin cycle.

RuBisCo

Carbon fixation is the process of building low-energy inorganic glucose into high-energy organic

false

During photosynthesis, veins must control the transpiration of water vapor and the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

false

Electrons in chlorophyll jump to higher energy levels. This process occurs in the Calvin cycle stage of photosynthesis.

false

Glucose, the product of photosynthesis, is formed during the Krebs cycle.

false

In CAM plants, the stomata never opens.

false

How many turns of the Calvin cycle are needed to produce glucose?

six

___ molecules of carbon dioxide are necessary to make one molecule of glucose.

six, 6 (any of these)

CAM plants open their ______ at night to fix CO2 in order to prevent water loss.

stomata

Tiny openings under the leaf which normally allow CO2 to enter and O2 to leave the leaf are called

stomata

What type of food is made from the Calvin Cycle?

sugar
