Extension Questions
Which of the following sequences correctly represents the flow of electrons during
photosynthesis?

B) H₂O
NADPH →Calvin cycle
C) NADPH chlorophyll →Calvin cycle
D) H2O
E) NADPH
photosystem I → photosystem II
electron transport chain → 02
Place these events in the correct order: absorption of electromagnetic radiation by chlorophyll,
synthesis of sugars, utilization of carbon dioxide by Calvin cycle enzymes, synthesis of
NADPH, synthesis of ATP, conversion of water into molecular oxygen.

In the first experiment, the student isolates mitochondria in a test tube, adds oxygen to the test tube, and measures the amounts of ATP produced at three temperatures. In a second experiment, the student keeps the temperature the same and varies the concentration of oxygen added to the test tube for each trial, The student records all data in the table shown.

- MAKE CONNECTIONS Step 3 in Figure 9.9 is a major pointof regulation of glycolysis. The enzyme phosphofructokinaseis allosterically regulated by ATP and related molecules (seeConcept 8.5). Considering the overall result of glycolysis,would you expect ATP to inhibit or stimulate activity of thisenzyme? Explain. (Hint: Make sure you consider the role of ATPas an allosteric regulator, not as a substrate of the enzyme.)arrow_forwardQ. 19 Instructions: -Please answer correctly well explained and not from google internet. -Dont copy paste from Bartley. -The answer has to be understandable and not plagiarized.
