Verified Answers
In which plant structure does photosynthesis primarily occur? - ANSWERSleaf
The raw materials or reactants of the photosynthetic process include -
ANSWERScarbon dioxide and water.
NADPH and ATP are used in the - ANSWERSCalvin cycle reactions.
We often say that we need food for energy. In a biological sense, is this correct? -
ANSWERSYes, because the food we eat has potential energy in its structure and this
chemical energy can be converted into mechanical energy.

Which of the following is a byproduct of photosynthesis? - ANSWERSoxygen
Most enzymes are - ANSWERSprotein molecules.
What are the two sets of reactions for photosynthesis? - ANSWERSlight reactions,
Calvin cycle reactions
What is the value of photosynthesis to humans? - ANSWERSIt will reduce the amount
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Which energy association is correct? - ANSWERSKinetic energy is energy of motion.
Which statement most accurately describes the second law of thermodynamics? -
ANSWERSEnergy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable
energy.

ANSWERSincreases
The various uses of ATP include all of the following except - ANSWERSbeing a
structural component of the cell membrane.
What are the products of photosynthesis? - ANSWERSoxygen and carbohydrate
Most cells use a tremendous amount of ATP, - ANSWERSbut the amount of stored ATP
is not great because our body constantly generates ATP from ADP + P.
Any energy transformation involves the loss of some energy as - ANSWERSheat
