CRITICAL THINKING EXERCISE 1. Speculate when would green plants carry out: a. Photosynthesis - only during the day, only at night, continuously, or never? Make sure to provide the rationale for your answer. b. Cellular respiration - only during the day, only at night, continuously, or never? Make sure to provide the rationale for your answer. 2. Formulate an experimental design to measure product formation in the Calvin Cycle? (Hint: There are assays using iodine to test for the product...
ME LIIL URE alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1) Plants that fix CO2 into organic acids at night when the stoma are open and carry out the Calvin cycle during the day when the stoma are closed are called 1). A) C3 plants. E) A, B, and Care correct. B) C4 plants. C) CAM plants. D) Only A and B are correct. 2) Photorespiration lowers the efficiency of photosynthesis by removing which of the following...
13. Describe 2 mechanisms whereby ATP is generated during cellular respiration Mechanism 1: Mechanism 2: 14. Indicate the MAIN molecules that enter and exit each of these processes? Molecule(s) IN Process Molecule(s) OUT Glycolysis Pyruvate Oxidation Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle ETC Photophosphorylation Calvin Cycle 15. Isocitrate is a 6 carbon molecule that is oxidized to a-ketoglutarate (a 5 carbon molecule) by the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. What happens to the extra carbon atom in this reaction and in which process (listed in...
1)Angiosperm plants DO NOT have a demonstrated coevolutionary interaction, diffuse or strong, with which group? Select one: a. Social hymenopterans b. Lepidopterans c. Non-hominoid primates d. Herbivorous Permian synapsids 2)If strictly herbivorous animals feeding on C3 plants are switched entirely to C4 plants, what would we see in their tissues? Select one: a. Enrichment of 13C b. Depletion of 13C 3)When plant matter is buried, which carbon isotope will be buried in a greater proportion than it exists in the...
In West Texas, water is extremely important. The following data represent pH levels in ground water for a random sample of 102 West Texas wells. A pH less than 7 is acidic and a pH above 7 is alkaline. Scanning the data, you can see that water in this region tends to be hard (alkaline). Too high a pH means the water is unusable or needs expensive treatment to make it usable.t These data are also available for download at...
Background: Ancient lycophytes were the dominant plants on Earth during the Carboniferous Period, which is named for the coal that formed from those ancient plants that lived 300 million years ago. As humans use fossil fuels such as coal and gas, we release carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. Because CO2 traps heat near the surface of the earth, it is known as a greenhouse gas and contributes to climate change. However, carbon is also...
Taking into account the data in Exhibit 1, prepare a table that
calculates when a hen is “spent” under normal conditions such as
the CCF Brands contract, or that could be used to decide when it is
no longer profitable to continue egg production. That is, create a
model with formulas for which you can easily vary inputs, such as
price, profit, or variable costs (such as in question 2 below). Use
the output template provided below. (Hint: Distinguish between...
