SHORT ANSWER

1. Explain why we say nearly all life on Earth ultimately depends on the sun for energy.

ANS:
Photosynthetic organisms convert light energy into chemical energy. While the photosynthetic
organisms use this chemical energy to drive their own cellular processes, other organisms
consume plants (or consume the herbivores that consumed the plants) to acquire chemical
energy. Through this process, nearly all organisms on Earth can trace their energy back to the
original photosynthetic process, which was dependent on sunlight.

ESSAY

1. Compare and contrast the role of O2 and H2O in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Biology: Exploring the Diversity of Life, 2nd Edition

ANS:
The role of oxygen gas and water are almost the reverse in the two processes. In cellular
respiration, electrons from the electron transport chain are put onto oxygen gas. This attracts
protons and creates water. In photosynthesis, water is used as a source of electrons, releasing
oxygen into the atmosphere while the protons are kept and used in production of a sugar.

2. What are some of the problems that must be addressed when planting C3 plants in hot, arid
climates for ornamental purposes?

ANS:
C3 plants are prone to photorespiration, especially at high temperatures or in arid climates. In
order to allow these plants to survive, they must be provided with a reliable, adequate water
supply. Protection from intense sunlight should be considered and can be accomplished by
positioning plants in areas where they will get morning or evening light, but be in partial
shade during the afternoon.

3. Explain why it is important, from a global standpoint, to try to improve the efficiency of
photosynthesis in common crops. Specify which aspect(s) of photosynthesis we should target.

ANS:
The land available for agriculture is limited and the population of the planet continues to
increase. By understanding how plants can become more efficient in photosynthesis, the
harvest of a set area of land could be increased. This would allow us to better utilize the land
available.

Photorespiration is the logical target of our research because photorespiration is known to


decrease the efficiency of photosynthesis. If we can enable C3 plants to better avoid
photorespiration, we can increase the productivity of crops.
