C3
True or False: C3 starts with a 3 carbon compound as its first product.
True
C4 plants differ from C3 plants in the means that C4 plants start with this as its first product
What is a 4-carbon compound?
These are weather problems that make the stomata close
What are hot, arid, or dry conditions?
Phase I of the light independent reaction refers to
What is carbon fixation?
This energy source, along with NADPH is made in Cyclic photophosphorylation.
What is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)?
Some examples of C3 plants are...
What are rice, wheat, and soybeans.
These many different plant families use the C4 pathway.
These are examples of succulent (water storing) plants
What are cacti and pineapples?
Phase II of the light independent reaction is called this
What is reduction?
This photosystem is specifically used in non-cyclic phosphorylation and not Cyclic photophosphorylation
What is photosystem II?
A plant's stomata partially does this on hot, dry days.
What is close.
Examples of C4 plants are...
what are grasses or sugar cane and corn
The stomata do this at night...
What is open?
The carbon fixation product results in an unstable six carbon intermediate. As a result, the product does this in order to become stable
What is split?
This is where the light dependent reaction takes place
What is Chlorophyll A+?
Rubisco adds these two molecules to the Calvin cycle (light-independent reaction).
What is oxygen
Photosynthetic cells can be distinguished into these two types
What are bundle sheath cells and mesophyll cells?
When the stomata are open, the plants take up CO2 and incorporate it into a variety of...
What are organic acids?
This is the enzyme that catalyzes carbon fixation.
What is rubisco?
This process involves the splitting of a water molecule in order to use H+ atoms
What is photolysis?
Once rubisco adds 2 oxygen to the light-independent cycle, this happens
Hint: After it split...
What is a two-carbon compound that leaves the chloroplast?
The Calvin Cycle (light-independent) is restricted to this location
What are the chloroplasts of the bundle sheath cells?
CAM stands for...
What is crassulacean acid metabolism?
This is the enzyme that catalyzes carbon fixation.
This is where the H+ atoms build up and shoot out in order to perform the electron transport chain
What is the lumen?
