Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The statement 鈥渃reation of a pH gradient by pumping protons across the thylakoid membrane.鈥 is false.
  2. The statement 鈥渞eduction of NADP+ molecules鈥 is false.
  3. The statement 鈥渢ransfer of energy from pigment molecule to pigment molecule鈥 is true.
  4. The statement 鈥淎TP synthesis鈥 is false.

Step by step solution

01

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is essential for the process observed in autotrophs. This process requires solar energy to produce the desired products (glucose). Light-sensitive and temperature-sensitive reactions are part of photosynthesis.

02

Explanation of option (A)

Marinating the pH gradient by pumping of hydrogen ions is generally not linked directly with the light reaction. The energy in the form of ATP is developed while moving out of the hydrogen ion from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma.

The splitting of water molecules helps in the generation of protons, electrons, and oxygen molecules inside the thylakoid.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

03

Explanation of option (B)

NADP+ is reduced to the NADPH at the last stage of the electron transfer in the photosystem. NADP reductase helps in reducing the NADP+ molecule. Ferredoxin complex help in shifting the electrons to ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase.

The reduction of NADP+ is not directly linked with the light-driven process as this light is not initiating electrons to reduce any molecule.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

04

Explanation of option (C)

There are two kinds of pigment systems in green plants. One is Photosystem I (PS-I), and the other is photosystem II (PS-II). PS-I is associated with the cyclic flow of electrons, while PS-II is non-cyclic.

If the light energy excites both the pigment systems, when light excites the PS-I, it transfers the electron to the iron-sulfur compound. Light energy also excites PS-II, which transfers an electron to pheophytin at the initial stage, and then it enters the cyclic photosystem (PS-I).

Therefore, the given statement is true.

05

Explanation of option (D)

ATP is synthesized in between the cyclic photosystem. One ATP is formed between the ferrodoxin and cytochrome b complex, while another is between the cytochrome b and f complex in PS I.

Light generally does not directly help in the synthesis of ATPs. Production of ATP is indirectly linked with solar energy when it is produced in PS-I.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Describe the trends shown by the regression lines in your scatter plot. (a) Compare the relationship between the increasing concentration of CO2 and the dry mass of corn to that for velvetleaf. (b) Considering that velvetleaf is a weed invasive to cornfields, predict how increased CO2 concentration may affect interactions between the two species.

Scientific evidence indicates that the CO2 added to the air by the burning of wood and fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, a rise in global temperature. Tropical rain forests are estimated to be responsible for approximately 20% of global photosynthesis, yet the consumption of large amounts of CO2 by living trees is thought to make little or no net contribution to reduction of global warming. Explain why this might be the case. (Hint: What processes in both living and dead trees produce CO2?).

Which of the following does notoccur during the Calvin cycle?

(A) carbon fixation

(B) oxidation of NADPH

(C) release of oxygen

(D) regeneration of the CO2 acceptor

Review Figures 9.9 and 10.19. Discuss the roles of intermediate and product played by glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate (G3P) in the two processes shown in these two figures.

Draw a 鈥渂est fit鈥 line for each set of points. A best-fit does not necessarily pass through all or even most points. Instead, it is a straight line that passes as close as possible to all data points from that set. Draw a best-fit line for each set of data. Because the placement of the line is a matter of judgment, two individuals may draw slightly different lines for a given set of points. The line that actually fits best, a regression line, can be identified by squaring the distances of all points to any candidate line, then selecting the line that minimizes the sum of the squares. (See the graph in the scientific skills Exercise in Chapter 3) for an example of a linear regression line. Excel or other software programs, including those on a graphical calculator, can plot regression lines once data points are entered. Using either Excel or a graphical calculator, enter the data points for each data set and have the program draw the two regression lines. Compare them to the lines drawn.
