The action spectrum of photosynthesis shows a high light absorption for violet/blue and orange/red and a low absorption for green/yellow. If we were to set up an experiment where narrow bands of unicolored light were shown on an aquatic plant such as Elodea, and we counted the number of bubbles of oxygen produced as an indicator of photosynthetic rate, how would the graph appear?
Although it is not possible to be exact about when cyanobacteria first appeared on earth, most scientists agree that about two billion years ago , they expanded rapidly and raised the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere to present levels in about 500 million years.
The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which. All of the choices except the formation of a 6-C sugar used for starch, etc., are correct. Most food plants, such as wheat, oats, and rice, are in the group of. C3 Plants.
moves from the thylakoid space to the stroma through an ATP synthase complex channel that generates ATP.
C3 plants make glucose in the bundle sheath cells.
All but the nutrient conversion is correct.
