 Figure 1 shows the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a and the action
spectrum for photosynthesis. Why are they different?

A Bright sunlight destroys photosynthetic pigments.

B Other pigments absorb light in addition to chlorophyll a.
C Oxygen given off during photosynthesis interferes with the
absorption of light.
D Green and yellow wavelengths inhibit the absorption of red and blue
wavelengths.

Answer: [ ]

4 Which of the following statements about the light reactions of

photosynthesis are true?

I The splitting of water molecules provides a source of electrons.

II Chlorophyll (and other pigments) absorb light energy, which excites
electrons.
III ATP is generated by photophosphorylation.

A I and II C I and III

B II and III D I, II, and III
Answer: [ ]

5 In the thylakoid membranes, what is the main role of the antenna pigment
molecules?

A synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi

B transfer electrons to ferredoxin and then NADPH
C split water and release oxygen to the reaction-center chlorophyll
D harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center
chlorophyll

Answer: [ ]

6 The reaction-center chlorophyll of photosystem I is known as P700 because

A there are 700 chlorophyll molecules in the center.

B this pigment is best at absorbing light with a wavelength of 700 nm.
C there are 700 photosystem I components to each chloroplast.
D the plastoquinone reflects light with a wavelength of 700 nm.

Answer: [ ]

7 All of the following are directly associated with photosystem II except

A NADP+ reductase
B harvesting of light energy by chlorophyll
C P680 reaction-center chlorophyll release
D extraction of hydrogen electrons from the splitting of water

Answer: [ ]

8 What does the chemiosmotic process in chloroplasts involve?

A establishment of a proton gradient

B reduction of water to produce ATP energy
C diffusion of electrons through the thylakoid membrane
D movement of water by osmosis into the thylakoid space from the
stroma
Answer: [ ]

9 Which of the following statements best represents the relationships

between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle?

A The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle, and
the cycle returns ADP, Pi, and NADP+ to the light reactions.
B The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the carbon fixation
step of the Calvin cycle, and the cycle provides water and electrons
to the light reactions.
C The light reactions supply the Calvin cycle with CO2 to produce
sugars, and the Calvin cycle supplies the light reactions with sugars
to produce ATP.
D The light reactions provide the Calvin cycle with oxygen for electron
flow, and the Calvin cycle provides the light reactions with water to
split.

Answer: [ ]

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

A NADPH → O2 → CO2
B NADPH → chlorophyll → Calvin cycle
C H2O → NADPH → Calvin cycle
D H2O → photosystem I → photosystem II
Answer: [ ]
