b
Why are C4 plants more suited to hot climates than C3 plants? They do not close their stomata in hot, dry weather. Unlike C3 plants, they keep fixing carbon dioxide even when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the leaf is low. They evolved in cold weather but migrated to the tropics, where they were more suitable. They suspend photosynthesis in the heat. The same cells that bind carbon dioxide perform the Calvin cycle.
b
You have a large, healthy philodendron that you carelessly leave in total darkness while you are away on vacation. You are surprised to find that it is still alive when you return. What has the plant been using for an energy source while in the dark? Even though it can't carry out the light reactions, the plant can still produce sugars because the Calvin cycle doesn't require light. While it did have access to light, the plant stored energy in the form of sugars or starch, and it was able to derive energy from the stored molecules during your vacation. Even though the plant received no visible light, it was able to use the short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum (gamma rays and X-rays) to carry out photosynthesis. When light energy is not available, plants can derive energy from inorganic molecules. None of the listed responses is correct.
b
A photon of which of these colors would carry the most energy? green yellow blue orange red
c
Of the following, which occurs during the Calvin cycle? Light energy is converted to chemical energy. ATP and NADPH are synthesized. CO2 is reduced. Excited electrons are conveyed from chlorophyll to an electron acceptor. Photons are absorbed.
c
The Calvin cycle occurs in the _____. thylakoid membrane thylakoid lumen stroma stomata matrix
c
The energy used to produce ATP in the light reactions of photosynthesis comes from _____. the oxidation of sugar molecules splitting water movement of H+ through a membrane carbon fixation fluorescence
c
The reactions of the Calvin cycle are not directly dependent on light, but they usually do not occur at night. Why? It is often too cold at night for these reactions to take place. Carbon dioxide concentrations decrease at night. The Calvin cycle requires products only produced when the photosystems are illuminated. Plants usually open their stomata at night. At night, no water is available for the Calvin cycle.
