Sandra wants to modify the diagram to include chlorophyll. Which would be the most useful strategy?

• Add representations of chlorophyll molecules inside the stroma.

• Add representations of chlorophyll molecules on the outer membrane.

• Group two or more grana together, and label them as chlorophyll.

• Add an enlarged illustration of a thylakoid, and represent chlorophyll molecules in the thylakoid membrane.

Should water (H₂O) be included in the model as a reactant or product? If so, how should it be included?

• Yes, as reactant A.

• Yes, as product B.

• Yes, as reactant C.

• No, it should not be included.

What is the role of compound C?

• a reactant that provides the energy for assembling sugars

• a reactant that provides the carbon and hydrogen for sugars

• a reactant that provides the carbon and oxygen for sugars

• a product that forms along with sugars

Vernon wonders whether NADPH and ATP should be classified as reactants or as products of photosynthesis. How should these compounds be classified?

• as reactants, because they are used up by photosynthesis

• as products, because they are generated by photosynthesis

• as either reactants or products, depending on the rate that photosynthesis occurs

• as neither reactant nor product, because they are recycled instead of made or used up
