Question

Welcome to our plant sciences department here at TransBiol It's great to have you as an intern. I'm the lead scientist of a team developing new herbicides to use against invasive plant species. The team has been really swamped with work, so it'll be great to have some help analyzing all the data we're collecting. Since it's your first day, a great way to get started with any research project is to brush up on the background knowledge you'll need to understand all the experimental work. Hopefully, you can put all that stuff you learned in biology class to good usel Go ahead and start by identifying all the major steps and processes during photosynthesis. It'll help us later if we diagram this out and label each component with its basic function. Fill in n this concept t map depicting the major steps in photosynthesis in the chloroplast: HO absorption of absorption of sunlight e Photosystem containing containing pumps transfers to produce synthesizes ATP Word Bank: Electron Transport Chain ATP Synthase Calvin Cycle Light NADPH Chlorophyll Protons CO Photosystem II Electrons O synthesizes (Sugar Building Block) That looks great. Now you have a visual for how all the pieces are working together. Let's get a little bit more specific and decide if any pieces depend on any others. Let's do an example by looking at the electron transport chain. Does the electron transport chain depend on any other component? It looks like it must depend on the water-splitting Photosystem to pass some electrons to it. See if you can do the rest of the components on your own Let's also start to think about how we can use this information in our herbicide experiments. We know that an herbicide should prevent plant growth and survival. What if the herbicide prevented plant growth by inhibiting some
