topic: photosynthesis
In 1770, Joseph Priestley performed a series of experiments to determine the
reactants and products of photosynthesis. The diagram below shows the
experimental conditions and results of two experiments performed by Priestley,
named here as Experiment 1 and Experiment 2. From his experiments, Priestley
concluded that plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and candles
remove.
Joseph Priestly Photosynthesis Experiments and Results
Experiment
Results:
- candle extinguished (went out)
1
- mouse died
Experiment
2
Results:
candle continued to burn
mouse stayed alive
Note: Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 were both performed in the presence of
sunlight.
The substance produced by the plant in Experiment 2, that keeps the candle
burning and the mouse alive is
O CO2
O 02
O H2O
O C6H1206

- Why do we need to understand photosynthesis?arrow_forwardIn order to summarize Photosynthesis reactions, draw FOUR big boxes in a line down the middle of your page. Write 1) Photosystem II (water-splitting, 2) Photosystem I (NADH-producing), 3) Chemiosmosis and 4) Carbon fixation (Calvin) Cycle inside these boxes. Below each process name write WHERE it occurs. Make arrows going in and out of each box. Write IN and OUT on top of the page above the arrows. Each box represent multi-step processes. You are focusing on the INPUTS and OUTPUTS. A. First focus on the flow of ENERGY. For each box write the INPUT and OUTPUT - the molecule(s) or form that contain the energy. Indicate if it is kinetic or potential energy. B. Next, in a different color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of ELECTRONS. For each box write the molecule(s) that carry the electrons IN and OUT. C. And finally, in a third color of ink (or highlighter) focus on the flow of CARBON.

- Do you think it's possible to capture energy from photosynthesis for human use? (Simple answer sentence)arrow_forwardA botanist has been examining three plants, measuring the amount of acid in their cells, and examining sections of their leaves under the microscope. Numbers in the table are in relative units. Part A: Identify the kind of photosynthesis being done by each plant. Explain how enzymes contribute to this data. Part B: Decipher the origin of each plant if one is from the Mojave Desert, one is from a sand dune in Florida, and one is from Minnesota, and explain how you deciphered this.arrow_forwardFrom a plant's perspective, the main purpose of photosynthesis is to Group of answer choices a)to produce sugars and oxygen for heterotrophs. b)plants are not cognitive organisms and therefore we have no idea what the "purpose" of photosynthesis is for the plant. c)to produce enough O2 gas for the plant to survive through the night. d)make sugars, such as glucose, to use for building cell walls and for energy needed by the plant.arrow_forward
- Q) Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants.arrow_forwardQ)Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root.

NOTE- include the steps of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions, ETC, Calvin cycle) and the inputs and outputs at each. Then, need to explain how sugar gets transported from the leaf to be used in cell respiration in the root. Then need to diagram cell respiration, including each stage and the inputs and outputs.arrow_forwardIdentify the correct compound to create a chemical equation that represents Photosynthesis. + Drag and drop the right reactants and products of the Light Dependent and Light Independent (aka Dark) Reactions.

- Topic: Photosynthesis Hi. I'm having trouble determining the answer to this question. I would like to say it would be Water and NADPH. However, I am not confident. Would you help me with this question? Thank you. Original Question: The chloroplast electron transport chain requires a continuous donation of electrons from ___________ , which are used ultimately to reduce a molecule of ___________ .arrow_forwardWhen you will consider an organism as "Autotroph"? Can you mention why they are capable of doing photosynthesis? What would have happened if there were no processes for "photosynthesis"? Summarize "what happens during photosynthesis" using one single sentence. Why do you think it is advantageous to learn about "the environmental factors that influence the plants"?arrow_forwardCan someone help me understand how to calculate the rate of photosynthesis?arrow_forward
