BIO 1500 FINAL MIZZOU FREQUENTLY TESTED
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS (2026)
●● where does photosynthesis take place?
Answer: in chloroplasts
●● where does photosynthesis take place?
Answer: in chloroplasts
●● molecules that absorb light of a particular wavelength or color
Answer: pigment
●● which wavelengths do chlorophyll absorb?
Answer: violet, blue and red wavelengths
●● when a substance absorbs light energy and re-emits it at a different
wavelength
Answer: florescence
●● when light energy bounces of an object and is not absorbed
Answer: reflection
, ●● when chemical reactions generate light energy
Answer: bioluminescence
●● what happens when a proton is absorbed by a molecule?
Answer: -it excites an electron into a higher energy state
-the electron quickly drops to its ground state
-releases the energy as light at a longer wavelength
●● why does isolated chlorophyll in a tube fluoresce red light, but a leaf
doesn't?
Answer: in the leaf, the chlorophyll is coupled to a series of chemical
reactions that use the light energy. in the tube, it emits red light due to a
mixture with acetone
●● -recalling facts and basic concepts
-define, duplicate, list, memorize, repeat, state
Answer: remember
●● -explain ideas or concepts
-classify, describe, discuss, explain, identify, locate
Answer: understand
