AP Photosynthesis WarmUp

Which of the following are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle?

• CO2 and glucose
• H2O and O2
• electrons and H+
• ATP and NADPH

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

• stroma of the chloroplast
• thylakoid membrane
• outer membrane of the chloroplast
• interior of the thylakoid membrane

When oxygen is released as a result of photosynthesis, it is a direct by-product of

• reducing NADP+
• splitting water molecules
• chemiosmosis
• electron transfer in photosystem II and I

What is the primary function of cyclic electron flow?

• to produce additional NADPH
• to produce additional ATP
• to produce additional oxygen
• to produce additional carbon dioxide

In a plant cell, where are ATP synthase complexes located?

• thylakoid membranes only
• inner mitochondrial membranes only
• thylakoid membrane and inner mitochondrial membranes
• thylakoid membrane and plasma membranes

In photosynthetic cells, synthesis of ATP by chemiosmosis occurs during

• photosynthesis only
• cellular respiration only
• both photosynthesis and cellular respiration
• photophosphorylation only

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle?

• regenerate ATP for use in the light reactions of photosynthesis
• produce carbon dioxide for use in the light reactions of photosynthesis
• produce oxygen by oxidizing water
• produce simple sugars from carbon dioxide

CAM plants keep stomata closed in daytime, thus reducing loss of water. They can do this because they

• fix CO2 into organic acids during the night when temperatures are cooler.
• fix CO2 into by combining it with RuBP in the Calvin cycle.
• obtain CO2 through their roots during the day.
• fix CO2 into organic acids in the mesophyll cells, which do not rely on stomata.

Compared to C3 plants, C4 plants

• have higher rates of photorespiration.

• can continue to fix CO2 even at relatively low CO2 concentrations and high oxygen concentrations.

• do not use rubisco for carbon fixation.

• grow better under cool, moist conditions.
