L13 Chloroplasts and photosynthesis

Chromoplasts have decreased thylakoid membranes.

What could a possible explanation be for chloroplasts converting to chromoplasts?

Which plastid would be responsible for storing starch in a potato?

The light reactions in the thylakoid space:

Which wavelengths of light are absorbed for photosynthesis?

400nm and 700 nm wavelengths are the most readily absorbed while green light is not absorbed at all.

(Choose all correct). Engelman's experiment:

Where would you find the light harvesting pigment cholorphyll?

Choose the correct statement.

Order these steps of energy transfer from photons to chloroplasts: [blank_start]3.[blank_end] An electron from the special chlorophyll in the reaction centre complex is excited. [blank_start]2.[blank_end] Energy is passed along the chain of chlorophyll molecules. [blank_start]1.[blank_end] Photon reaches light harvesting complexes/chlorophyll molecules. [blank_start]4.[blank_end] The electron is transferred to the primary electron acceptor in the reaction centre complex.

Choose the incorrect statement about the photosynthetic electron transport chain.

Cyanobacteria are the anaerobic bacteria which form algael blooms.

Fill in the steps of the Calvin Cycle. 1. [blank_start]Carbon fixation[blank_end]: Three CO2 react with three 5-carbon compounds to make three 6-carbon compounds. This involves a protein known as [blank_start]rubisco[blank_end]. 2. [blank_start]Reduction[blank_end]: [blank_start]6[blank_end] ATP and 6 NADPH are used to reduce three CO2 to three 3-carbon compounds. 3. [blank_start]Regeneration of CO2 acceptor[blank_end]: [blank_start]3[blank_end] ATP are used to change five 3-carbon compounds to the original three 5-carbon compounds.
