© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Does a Tree’s Biomass Come from the Soil? A 17th-century scientist named van Helmont planted a willow sapling in a large pot with 200 pounds of dry soil and allowed it to grow, giving it only rainwater or distilled water. He weighed the soil and tree (with roots) before planting and after five years of growth. What information do you need to predict the weight of the soil remaining after five years with 99% accuracy? a)the weight of the tree at start and after five years b)the percentage of the tree weight that is water c)the weight of leaves lost by the tree each fall d)the weight of all the water added e)none of the above

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Photosynthesis and Biomass The biomass (dry weight) of a tree comes primarily from a)soil. b)water. c)air. d)organic fertilizer (manure, detritus). e)light.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Photosynthesis and Organic Carbon The organic carbon in a tree comes primarily from a)soil. b)water. c)air. d)organic fertilizer (manure, detritus). e)light.

Oxygen, Earth History, and Evolution Which evolutionary development caused the initial oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere? a)the evolution of the earliest photosynthetic organisms that had only PSI b)the evolution of cyanobacteria with PSI + PSII c)the evolution of the first land plants d)the evolution of the woody plants e)the evolution of flowering plants

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. NADPH is produced by a)respiration in the mitochondria. b)the citric acid cycle. c)photosystem II. d)photosystem I. e)photorespiration.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Photosystem I and Cyclic Photophosphorylation Photosynthetic bacteria that have only photosystem I a)can split water molecules to produce oxygen. b)cannot fix carbon dioxide. c)generate ATP but not NADPH. d)can reduce NADP+ to NADPH but cannot make ATP through photophosphorylation. e)can reduce NADP+ to NADPH and make ATP through cyclic photophosphorylation.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. How are the light reactions and the Calvin cycle connected? a)The light reactions provide ATP to the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle provide NADPH for the light reactions. b)The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle returns ADP, Pi, and NADP+ to the light reactions. c)The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle returns reduced sugars to the light reactions. d)The light reactions provide NADPH to the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle provides RuBP to the light reactions. e)The light reactions provide RuBP to the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle returns G3P to the light reactions.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Photorespiration occurs because a)rubisco can use oxygen as a substrate when CO 2 levels are low and oxygen levels are high. b)linear electron flow cannot provide the Calvin cycle with enough ATP. c)leaf cells use photorespiration to make ATP for cellular work outside the chloroplasts. d)C4 plants operate a CO 2 shuttle at a cost of extra ATP, provided by photorespiration. e)plants need a way to consume the oxygen they produce.

Photosynthesis and Respiration A flask of duckweed in water is placed under a bank of lights on a 12-hour light, 12-hour dark cycle, next to a control flask containing only water. Assuming no change in water temperature, which flask will have the lowest dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, at what time? a)DO will be the same between the control and the duckweed- containing flask. b)DO will always be higher in the flask with duckweed compared to the control. c)DO will always be lower in the flask with duckweed compared to the control. d)The flask with duckweed will have the lowest DO at the end of the dark cycle and the highest DO at the end of the light cycle.
