Photosynthesis Wrap up... AGAIN!


Tuesday December 11th

Information concerning a metabolic activity is shown below

      enzyme
X --------------> products + energy for metabolism

Substance X is most likely

A.  DNA
B.  Oxygen
C.  ATP (ATP is split into ADP + P which releases Energy.  Remember, Energy is stored in chemical bonds of organic compounds - when these bonds are broken, energy is released.
D.  Chlorophyll
Using a Microscope, a student observes a small, green organelle in a plant cell.  Which energy transformation most likely occurs first within the observed organelle?





A.  ATP to Light
B.  light To chemical (That small green organelle was the chloroplast, what energy transformation occurred there?!?!  Light energy (from the sun) was converted into chemical energy (in the form of ATP and NADPH)
C.  Heat to electrical
D.  Chemical to chemical
In heterotrophs, energy for the life processes comes from the chemical energy store in the bonds of

A.  Water molecules
B.  Oxygen Molecules
C.  Organic Compounds (See above!)
D.  Inorganic Compounds
After these, we reviewed the main concepts of photosynthesis.  As a review we added the following slide to our notes.
 Tomorrow you guys will first take a Daily Question type quiz over everything we have done so far (Basics of Bioenergetics and Photosynthesis.)  After that you will get down the notes for cellular respiration and we will discuss them on Thursday.
