In the Bios 101 lab you measure the rate of oxygen evolution by a sage plant using an oxygen electrode. Explain why are you only measuring the net oxygen produced rather than the total (gross) oxygen produced?
• A plant in the light produces oxygen via photosynthesis (1/4 pt.) but some of that oxygen gas (i.e. the oxygen produced by photosynthesis) is being consumed by aerobic respiration (1/4 pt.) of the plant tissue. • Gross oxygen production minus the oxygen being consumed = net oxygen produced.
Briefly explain how the process of cytokinesis in the stomach cell of a Cockroach would differ from cytokinesis in an actively dividing root cell of a Barley plant.
• Cytokinesis in a dividing plant cell occurs by the growth of a cell plate (membranous sac containing pectin) (1/4 pt.) that grows outward from the cell center (1/4 pt.) and fuses with the cell membrane of the parent cell. • Cytokinesis in a dividing animal cell (e.g. cockroach stomach cell) occurs by pinching in of the cell membrane (½ pt.) caused by contracting belt of microfilaments.
A biologist working for Monsanto, develops an herbicide which kills weeds by blocking the flow of electrons between photosystems II and photosystems I during the Light Dependent Reactions of photosynthesis. Based on your knowledge of the Light Dependent Reactions, explain why the weeds are killed after treatment with the herbicide.
Since the herbicide blocks the flow of electrons through the thylakoid membrane, no electrical energy is produced (1/4 pt.) which is necessary for the active transport of H+ from the stroma into the thylakoid compartment (1/4 pt.) • As a result there is a very low H+ concentration in the thylakoid compartment (1/4 pt.) Resulting in very low or no ATP being produced by the flow of H+ through ATP synthase. (1/4 pt.) • Since ATP is required for the synthesis of the sugar GP3 in the light independent reactions. The plant is no longer able to produce all of its organic compounds and the plant dies. (1/4 pt.)

Explain why the synthesis of G3P is necessary for the continued functioning of the Light Independent Reactions of Photosynthesis.

(1/4 pt.) • Small amount of the G3P are used by the plant to synthesize all of its organic nutrients. • Using energy from ATP and NADPH, large amounts of the G3P is recycled through a series of biochemical reactions to form more RuBP which is required to start the Calvin cycle again. (1/4 pt.)
