In metabolic processes of cell respiration and photosynthesis, prosthetic groups such as heme and iron-sulfur complexes are encountered in components of the electron transport chain. What do they do?

In a cyanobacterium, the reactions that produce NADPH occur in

The reactions that produce molecular oxygen (O2) take place in

A flask containing photosynthetic green algae and a control flask containing water with no algae are both placed under a bank of lights, which are set to cycle between 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. The dissolved oxygen concentration in both flasks are monitored. Predict what the relative dissolved oxygen concentrations will be in the flask with algae compared to the control flask.

Which of the following statements best represents the relationships between the light reactions and the Calvin Cycle?

Compared to C3 plants, C4 plants

Plants photosynthesis only in the light. Plants respire

Figure 10.1 shows the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a and the action spectrum photosynthesis. Why are they different?

What wavelength of light in the figure is most effective in driving photosynthesis?

A gardener is concerned that her greenhouse is getting too hot from too much light, and seeks to shade her plants with colored translucent plastic sheets. What color should she use to reduce overall light energy, but still maximize plant growth?

Theodore W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light. An outcome of this experiment was to help determine...

Since the spaceship will be too far from the sun for photosynthesis, an artificial light source will be needed. What wavelengths of light should be used to maximize plant growth with a minimum of energy expenditure?

Which of the following sequences correctly represents the flow of electrons during photosynthesis?

Which of the following statements is a correct distinction between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

In mechanism, phosphorylation is most similar to
