The light reactions occur in the ________ and the dark reactions take place in the ________.

Chloroplast / thylakoid membrane

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

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

electron transfer in photosystem II and I

Which of the following events occurs in the light reactions of photosynthesis?

light is absorbed and funneled to reaction-center chlorophyll a

carbon dioxide is fixed in organic molecules

Which of the following is directly associated with Photosystem I?

receiving electrons from the thylakoid membrane ETC

harvesting light energy to make ATP

extraction of hydrogen electrons from the splitting of water

What is the primary function of cyclic electron flow?

to produce additional carbon dioxide

Which of the following statements about the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is true?

Cellular respiration is catabolic and photosynthesis is anabolic.

In cellular respiration the biochemical pathways of photosynthesis run in reverse.

In photosynthesis the biochemical pathways of cellular respiration run in reverse.

Cellular respiration occurs only in animals and photosynthesis occurs only in plants.

What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle?

produce simple sugars from carbon dioxide

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

Reactions that consume CO2 take place in

the light reactions of photosynthesis only

the light reactions and the calvin cycle

the calvin cycle and the citric acid cycle

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.

Beyond Basics: The splitting/breaking of water

produces oxygen, electrons and hydrogens

occurs during Cellular Respiration

Beyond Basics: Electrons become energized during photosynthesis when

they are struck with light energy

they are incorporated into oxygen

Which of the following is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

6CO 2 + 6H 2 O --> 6O 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6

6CO 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6H 2 O --> O 2

6O 2 + 6H 2 O --> 6CO 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 ---> 6H 2 O + 6CO 2

Why is photosynthesis important?

creates oxygen for animals to breath

creates energy for heterotrophs to use
