1.

What enzyme combines RuBP with CO2 in the 'ideal' Calvin Cycle

a)

RuBP

b)

3GP

c)

Rubisco

d)

Mesophyll

2.

Which of the following can attach to rubisco (multiple choice)

a)

RuBP

b)

CO2

c)

O2

d)

H20

3.

Which of the following describes the MAIN advantage of C4 Photosynthesis

a)

It uses 4 carbon chains, which produce more glucose

b)

Its stomata in the mesophyll cell is not always open, leading to lower water loss

c)

The mesophyll cell containing the stomata is separated from where the calvin cycle takes place

d)

It occurs in the stomata, rather than outside the cholorplast

4.

The main way that water escapes the plant is

a)

Dehydration

b)

Maceration

c)

Evaporation

d)

Transpiration

5.

When RuBP is combined with CO2, it forms

a)

2 x phosphoglycerate

b)

Phosphoglycerate and glycerophosphate

c)

Glucose and RuBP

d)

G3P and glucose

6.

The O2 produced by photosynthesis is produced during the (a)   reaction

7.

The glucose produced in photosynthesis is produced by the (a)   reaction

8.

During CAM photosynthesis, CO2 is stored in the form of (a)   in the vacuole

9.

When is the stomata open in CAM photosynthesis (Multiple Choice)

a)

Daytime

b)

Night-time

10.

What environments are ideal for CAM photosynthesis (Multiple choice)

a)

Hot days

b)

Dry

c)

Marsh

d)

Cool Nights

11.

How are CAM and C4 photosynthesis similar?

a)

Both are associated with desert environments

b)

Both attempt to avoid photorespiration

c)

Both only open their stomata only when they need to

d)

Both use the Calvin cycle

12.

What would happen if too much hot air is let into the plant through the stomata

a)

Rubisco would become more efficient

b)

Rubisco would break down

c)

The light-dependent reaction would increase

d)

Rubisco would become more efficient to a certain point until it breaks down.
