The cycle shows part of the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis.

What occurs in Step 1?

•   ATP is formed for Step 2.

• Rubisco catalyses the hydrolysis of ribulose bisphosphate.

• A carboxylase catalyses the carboxylation of ribulose bisphosphate.

• NADP is converted to reduced NADP.

TThe apparatus shown was used to investigate the effect of varying carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide concentrations were varied by adding different amounts of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃) to water.

What is the dependent variable in this investigation?

• temperature

• light intensity

• amount of NaHCO^3 that was added

• volume of oxygen produced

The image shows part of a section through the stem of a non-woody plant.

Which feature distinguishes the transport of materials in the tissue labelled I from that in the tissue labelled II?

• In II, active transport is used.

• In II, products of photosynthesis are transported.

• In I, movement of materials is the result of transpiration.

• In I, there is a higher solute concentration.

The graph shows the effect of limiting factors on the rate of photosynthesis. What can be concluded from this graph?

• At a CO2 concentration of 0.1% and a low light intensity, temperature is the only limiting factor.

• At a CO2 concentration of 0.1% and a low light intensity, light intensity is the only limiting factor.

• At a CO2 concentration of 0.03% and a low light intensity, both CO2 concentration and temperature are limiting factors.

• At a CO2 concentration above 0.1%, there are no limiting factors.
