7.4 Short Answer Questions
1) Give the simplest chemical equation for photosynthesis. For each reactant, indicate where the
plant acquires it. For each product, note during what part of photosynthesis it is produced.
Answer: The chemical equation for photosynthesis is
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
CO2 comes through the stomata, water comes from the vascular bundles (or veins) to the
mesophyll cells, and chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane of the
chloroplast absorb sunlight. The glucose is produced immediately following the Calvin cycle,
and the oxygen is produced during the light reactions.
Diff: 3
Section: 7.1

2) Explain how the leaf is adapted for capturing energy from sunlight and for acquiring carbon
dioxide and water.
Answer: CO2 comes through adjustable pores, or stomata, and water comes from the vascular
bundles (or veins) to the mesophyll cells. Leaves are broad and flat to provide a large surface
area to the sun. Chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast
absorb sunlight.

Section: 7.1
3) What is the role of the green pigment chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Answer: Chlorophyll is critical in light reactions to harness light energy and begin the flow of
electrons, which in turn creates the proton gradient allowing for ATP formation, which is
required for the Calvin cycle.
Diff: 2
Section: 7.2
4) Describe the two major components of a photosystem. What is the function of each?
Answer: The light-harvesting complex absorbs light and passes the energy to a specific
chlorophyll molecule called the reaction center. The electron transport system is a series of
electron carrier molecules that are responsible for directly donating electrons to the electron
carrier molecule NADP+ and indirectly driving the synthesis of ATP.

Section: 7.2
5) Imagine you are conducting a photosynthesis experiment on a plant in the lab. You block any
light from reaching the plant. Explain the specific effect this will have on the light reactions.
Answer: Light will not be present to hit the chlorophyll and electrons will not be excited.
Therefore, the light reactions will not occur and no energy will be produced to be used in the
dark reactions.

8) How are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle related to each other?
Answer: The light reactions produce the ATP and NADPH required to drive the Calvin cycle,
which results in the synthesis of sugar (glucose).
Diff: 2
Section: 7.3
9) What happens to the photosynthetic reactions when no sunlight is present?

Answer: ATP and NADPH levels from the light reactions become limiting, and that in turn can
lead to a decrease in sugar production following the Calvin cycle.

10) Why does photorespiration reduce photosynthesis efficiency?

Answer: Photorespiration does not produce any useful cellular energy, and it prevents the
synthesis of glucose in C3 plants.
Diff: 2
Section: 7.4
11) What is photorespiration? Describe how C4 plants have evolved the ability to reduce
photorespiration.
Answer: Photorespiration occurs when RuBP combines with O2 rather than CO2, so the plant is
not allowed to fix carbon and produce glucose. C4 plants use a two-stage carbon-fixation
pathway where PEP is used instead of RuBP, which specifically reacts with CO2 and not O2.
The CO2 is then shuttled to the bundle sheath cells and creates a high CO2 concentration that
favors the regular C3 cycle reactions without competition from O2.

7.6 Scenario Questions
1) Imagine that, similar to events that occurred 65 million years ago, a huge meteorite were to hit
Earth tomorrow, spewing cloudy debris into the atmosphere and blocking a large proportion of
sunlight. Because plants rely on sunlight, global rates of photosynthesis would be greatly
reduced, and many of the animals that depend on photosynthetic plants (such as herbivores and
the predators that fed on those herbivores) would starve or go extinct.
In this scenario, why can't the plants continue to produce sugars and survive if the sugar-
producing reactions in photosynthesis are considered "light independent"?
Answer: The Calvin cycle, used to drive the synthesis of glucose, requires ATP and NADPH
produced from the light reactions.

carbon atoms from CO2 molecules used during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. They add a
radioactive "tag" to the carbon atoms of the CO2 reactants and then collect the products
following the reactions. They analyze the products for their level of radioactivity.
Which product(s) would you expect to be radioactive?
A) ATP only
B) water only
C) glucose only
D) both water and glucose
E) both ATP and water
