Photosynthetic CO2 is reduced to carbohydrate in which of the following plant processes
a) the C4-Hatch & Slack pathway
b) the Calvin cycle
c) the light reactions of photosynthesis
d) a and b are correct
e) a, b, and c are correct - CORRECT ANSWER d) a and b are correct
The process where an electron leaves a chlorophyll molecule leaving that chlorophyll charged
is
a) photobleaching
b) photoionization
c) photorespiration
d) resonance
e) none of these is correct - CORRECT ANSWER b) photoionization
The dark reactions of photosynthesis require?
, a) ATP
b) NADPH

Measurements of the amount of DNA per nucleus were taken on a large number of cells from
a growing fungus. The measured DNA levels ranged from 5 to 10 picograms per nucleus. It is
most likely that a cell which contained 5 picograms of DNA was in the following stage of the
cell cycle
a) G1
b) G2
c) M
d) none of these is correct - CORRECT ANSWER a) G1
One way photosynthesis in a typical C4 plant differs from that in a C3 plant, is that the C4
plants
a) C4 does not produce any oxygen gas at all
b) C4 actively pumps oxygen gas away from the cells that contain rubisco
c) C4 avoids the use of rubisco entirely; instead, it uses only PEP carboxylase to catalyze
carbon fixation
d) C4 keeps its stomata more open, so that more CO2 can enter the plant
e) C4 carries out the Calvin cycle only in the chloroplasts of its bundle-sheath cells -
CORRECT ANSWER e) C4 carries out the Calvin cycle only in the chloroplasts of its
bundle-sheath cells
Cellular respiration may be described as taking electrons from food and giving them to
oxygen to make water and using the energy released to drive ATP formation
