1: The simple story of

photosynthesis and food - Amanda Ooten

Photosynthesis Case Study

Pre-lab Questions
Tomorrow: photosynthesis lab

2. Why is light energy needed in the

chloroplast?
A. to turn glucose into carbon dioxide
B. to take electrons from water and energize

them
C. To reduce the energy of electrons needed for

carbohydrate synthesis
D. To combine oxygen and electrons to produce

water

In photosynthesis, carbohydrate
molecules are built with carbon atoms
from what?
Carbon Dioxide
1.

3. If the glucose made by plants was only

used to make starch and not cellulose, what
impact would this have on the plants size
and structure?
A. It would lack energy, but be the normal size

and structure
B. It would not have any chloroplasts but

otherwise it would be normal

C. It would be weaker and smaller
D. No impact

4. Which of the following correctly states a

relationship between plants and humans?
A. Plants use CO2 to produce sugar while

humans break down sugar and produce CO2

B. Plants use sugar to produce CO2 while

humans break down CO2 to produce sugar

C. Plants and humans both use CO2 to produce

sugar molecules
D. Both plants and humans use light energy to

split water and produce O2 and CO2

5. Which of the following correctly states a

relationship between plants and humans?
A. Plants use their mitochondria for

photosynthesis and humans use their

mitochondria for respiration
B. Plants produce waste oxygen that humans use

in their mitochondria for respiration

C. Humans produce waste O2 that plants use in

their mitochondria to make energy

D. Humans and plants both produce waste O2

1. What is the overall equation for

photosynthesis?
A. Carbon Dioxide + Oxygen + energy = water

+ glucose
B. Carbon Dioxide + water + energy = Oxygen

+ glucose
C. Carbon Dioxide + Glucose = oxygen + water

2. You

set up an experiement to grow

plants in different light conditions. Which
condition had the worse growth?
A. Red and Blue
B. Red and Green
C. Green and Yellow
D. Blue and Yellow

D. Water + energy = oxygen + glucose

3. Photosystem II
A. Uses light energy to transfer electrons to

water.
B. Takes electrons from water and passes them to

ATP synthase
C. Takes electrons from water, energizes them,
and passes them on to an electron transport
chain
D. Absorbs light energy to energize electrons
and make NADPH

5. Photosystem

I.

A. sends e- to photosystem II through the ETC

B. Makes NADPH that is used by the ATP

synthase to make ATP

C. Absorbs light to energize e- so they can be

transferred to NADPH to make NADP+

D. Absorbs light to energize e- so they can be

transferred to NADP+ to make NADPH

4. Evaluate

the accuracy of the following

statement: The ATP synthase takes electrons from
the electron transport chain and makes ATP.
A. Actually, ATP synthase uses the proton gradient

produced by the ETC to make ATP, it does not use the ethemselves
B. Actually, the ATP synthase takes e- from the ETC to

break down ATP and release energy for plant growth.

C. Actually the ATP synthase doesnt depend on the

ETC, it functions independently

D. The statement is accurate

6. Imagine that the NADPH and ATP are being

made and getting trapped inside the thylakoid.
What impact would this have on photosynthesis?
A. The Calvin Cycle wouldnt have the energy and e-

it needs to convert CO2 to sugar molecules

B. It wouldnt have any impact since the light energy

has already been absorbed

C. The whole process would speed up since theres

extra energy for the thylakoid

D. No impact since the end products of

photosynthesis are NADPH and ATP

1. What

is the definition of an herbicide?

A. a chemical that takes the place of sunlight in

photosynthesis
B. A chemical that speeds up photosynthesis in
the chloroplast
C. A chemical that kills or slows down the growth
of target plants
D. A chemical that promotes growth of target
plants

3. If

an herbicide steals electrons from

Photosystem I, it will prevent it from:
A. Forming oxygen
B. Forming NADPH

2. Atrazine kills the plant because

A. It makes photosystem II send too many e- to

the ETC
B. All th eother components of photosynthesis

depend on the e- from photosystem II

C. It forces the plant to make too many sugar

building blocks
D. The ATP synthase turns the atrazine into CO2

4. If

an herbicide prevents the buildup of

protons by the ETC, which component
will no longer be able to carry out its
function?

C. Forming NADP+

A. ATP synthase

D. Forming ATP

B. Photosystem II
C. Oxygen
D. Water

5. If

an herbicide shuts down the calvin

cycle, what will be a consequence for the
plant?

Agenda:

Finish Photosynthesis Case Study

Pre-lab for lab tomorrow

A. The chlorophyll wont be able to absorb light

energy
B. it wont be able to break down sugars and produce

carbon dioxide
C. It wont be able to produce the sugars needed for

plant growth
D. It will continue to grow as normal because it will

have plenty of energy from ATP Synthase
