Pregunta 7
Pregunta
(Choose all correct).

Involved a diffraction of light using a prism.
Showed photosynthetic activity was dependant on wavelength.
Showed photosynthetic activity was dependant on the speed of light.
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Where would you find the light harvesting pigment cholorphyll?
Respuesta
In the stroma of chloroplasts.
In the thylakoid space.
In the thylakoid membrane.
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Choose the correct statement.
Respuesta
Photosystems are part of light-harvesting complexes.
A reaction centre complex is composed of a photosystem and a light-harvesting complex.
The light-harvesting complex is a protein which sits in the thylakoid membrane.
The reaction centre complex surrounds the light-harvesting complex.
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
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.
Respuesta
3.

4.
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Choose the incorrect statement about the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
Respuesta
Photosystem II precedes Photosystem I.
Photosystem II provides two electrons to move H+ down it's gradient through the Cytochrome complex.
Photosystem I provides electrons for NADP+ to become NADPH via NADP+ reductase.
Photosystem II splits water and releases oxygen.
ATP synthase uses energy from H+ moving down its gradient to synthesize ATP.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Cyanobacteria are the anaerobic bacteria which form algael blooms.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
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.
