Question

For photosynthesis in green plants, the electron donor for the light dependent reaction is a. carbon dioxide. b. oxygen. c. RuBP. (ribulose bi phosphate) d. chlorophyll ll. e. water. In the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, CO_2 is added to a five-carbon molecule known as a. cellulose. b. ribose. c. deoxyribose. d. RuBP. e. CAM. Visible light has a wavelength range of a. 400-740 nanometers. b. 200-800 nanometers. c. 200-400 nanometers. d. 200-740 nanometers. e. 0.001-100,000 nanometers. Carotenoids are important to many plants because those pigments can a. remove carbon dioxide from the air. b. absorb wavelengths of light that neither chlorophyll a nor b can absorb. c. absorb water so that hydrolysis can be carried out in the chloroplasts. d. capture UV radiation that is harmful to the DNA in the nucleus of plant cell The colors of light that are most effective for photosynthesis are: a. red, blue, and violet b. green, yellow and orange c. infrared and ultraviolet d. All colors of light are equally effective Which of the following are similarities between the structure and function of mitochondria and chloroplasts? a. They both create internal proton gradients b. They both generate CO2 by oxidation reactions c. They both have a double membrane d. All the above Cell division in the apical meristems at the tips of a plant that results in increases in height or length is called a. primary growth b. secondary growth c. vascular cambium d. mitotic growth e. herbaceous growth
