extraction of electrons from water molecules

The rate of photosynthesis is higher because leaves dont have mitochondria

Three of the four answers below explain why a plants green leaves typically have higher rates of photosynthesis compared to respiration. Find the EXCEPTION. -The green leaf is only a small part of the plant and needs to produce enough energy-rich sugars to support all of the non-photosynthetic parts (like roots, non-green stems and trunks, or flowers). -Only when overall photosynthetic activity exceeds overall respiration activity of the whole plant can the plant grow and accumulate biomass. -Sugar produced in photosynthesis supports the energy needs of the plant during the day and the night. -The rate of photosynthesis is higher because leaves dont have mitochondria.

True

True or False? If you could track carbon atoms, you would find carbon atoms from CO2 as part of sugar and starch molecules in plant leaves and also as a part of sugar and glycogen molecules in animals

to synthesize a simple sugar (G3P) from carbon dioxide

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle? -to use NADPH to release carbon dioxide -to synthesize starch from carbon dioxide -to extract electrons from water and release oxygen -to synthesize a simple sugar (G3P) from carbon dioxide -to use ATP and NADPH to convert a simple sugar (G3P) to carbon dioxide

The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle

because ATP is too unstable to store for more than an instant

Why do plants use the ATP made by ATP synthase to produce sugars? -because animals prefer sugars (due to their sweet taste) over ATP -because the ATP made in plant photosynthesis is different from the ATP made in cellular respiration, and only the ATP made in respiration is able to fuel cellular work -because ATP is too unstable to store for more than an instant

The plant did not get the light needed for photosynthesis

Why was Mr. Priestly unable to keep a mouse, sealed in a container together with a plant, alive in his basement? -The basement was too hot, which killed the mouse. -The plant he used in his experiments in the basement was not edible. -The plant did not get the light needed for photosynthesis. -The plant in the basement used up all the oxygen it made in photosynthesis for its own cellular respiration.
