Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

What is the molecule that leaves the Calvin cycle to be converted into glucose? a. ADP b. G3P c. RuBP d. 3-PGA
Which of the following statements related to the Calvin Cycle is CORRECT? Six molecules of G3P are produced for every three carbon dioxide that undergo calvin cycle Carbon dioxide is attached to 3-phosphoglycerate resulting is 2 RuBP The regeneration of RuBP is important because it is directly used for the production of starch, cellulose, and glucose. One molecule of G3P exits the calvin cycle and five is used to form glucose for the production of starch, cellulose, and sucrose.
Which of the following scenarios does not occur during the reduction phase of the Calvin Cycle? Hide answer choices Each molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate is phosphorylated by ATP to form 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Each molecule of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is reduced to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by the addition of two electrons from NADPH. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is converted into Ribulose bisphosphate. Some of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules are used in carbohydrate production.
RUBP is regenerated to keep the Calvin cycle running. Which molecule performs a similar function in the citric acid cycle? CO2 citrate acetyl-CoA oxaloacetate NADH
There are some similarities and some differences between the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion and the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis. Which of the following is NOT a true difference between the two cycles? Both involve CO2, but in the Calvin cycle CO2 is used brought into the process as a source of carbon for the sugar being built. In the Mitochondrion, CO2 is removed from the sugar and leaves the cell. In the Calvin cycle, ATP is used to carry chemical energy from the light reactions to the the Calvin cycle where the chemical energy is incorporated in the sugar molecule that is being manufactured. In the mitochondrion, ATP is produced and brought out of the mitochondrion so it can provide chemical energy to the many activities going on in the cytoplasm The first step in the Calvin cycle, the carboxylation of RuBP, produces a 12-carbon product that splits into two 6 carbon pieces. In the first step of the citric acid…
The Calvin cycle requires both ATP and NADPH. Which of these molecules provides the major input of energy needed to synthesize carbohydrates?
Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which forms a six-carbon molecule that breaks down into two 3PG molecules. The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which is a reaction assisted by large quantities of RuBP carboxylase enzyme. The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which decreases cell carbon dioxide levels, which increases the diffusion gradient. The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which immediately becomes a six-carbon sugar that is the base for starch, sucrose, cellulose, etc.
Statement 1: In the Calvin Cycle, two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are produced if two molecules of carbon dioxide are fixed. Statement 2: If the carbon fixation phase of the Calvin Cycle begins with 6 molecules of ribulose bisphosphate and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 2 out of 12 molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate made at the end of the reduction phase are used in carbohydrate production while the remaining 10 molecules are needed to keep the Calvin Cycle turning by regenerating ribulose bisphosphate. Hide answer choices Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false. Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true. Both statements are true. Both statements are false

The primary role of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis is to: - split H2O and release oxygen - establish a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane - use the energy in ATP and NADPH to fix carbon and build sugars - produce ATP and NADPH 2. The enzyme used to catalyze the initial fixation of CO2 in C3 photosynthesis is: Rubisco NADP+ reductase ATP synthase PEP carboxylase 3. The primary role of the light reactions in photosynthesis is to: - bring CO2 into the chloroplast use the energy in ATP and NADPH to fix carbon and build sugars establish a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane produce ATP and NADPH *I do not need an explanation so please don't provide, I just need an answer choice picked for each*
A culture of the single celled organism Chlamydomonas is actively carrying out photosynthesis in the presence of light and CO2. If you turned off the light, how would you expect the amounts of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate to change over the next minute? How about if you left the light on and removed the CO2? Please answer these questions with specific references to the Calvin cycle.
