Question Type: Essay Section 12.7 Blooms: Understanding Difficulty: Difficult *Section 12.8* 45\.

What is the source of the energy for carbon fixation? Ans: The reactions that fix CO~2~ are powered by energy released by ATP hydrolysis and by the reducing agent NADPH. The ATP and NADPH were previously generated from the energy of absorbed photons of light. Question Type: Essay Section 12.8 Blooms: Understanding Difficulty: Moderate 49\. What is photorespiration? How is it related to photosynthesis? Ans: Photorespiration competes with the process of photosynthesis. During photorespiration, O~2~ and ATP are consumed and CO~2~ is generated. Rubisco, which acts to fix CO~2~, also catalyzes photorespiration. Photorespiration is favored when stomata close to prevent moisture loss, and CO~2~ levels inside the leaf fall below the K~m~ of rubisco for CO~2~. Question Type: Essay Section 12.8 Blooms: Understanding Difficulty: Moderate 50\. Explain how the rates of photosynthesis in plants like corn and sugarcane can be two to three times faster than the rates of photosynthesis in plants like wheat or rice. Ans: Sugarcane and corn are C~4~ plants, whereas wheat and rice are C~3~ plants. C~4~ plants have evolved a two-step system that reduces the rate of photorespiration and enhances the rate of photosynthesis. This system works via a CO~2~ shuttle that involves binding CO~2~ in mesophyll cells. The carbon dioxide is stored in the oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate is a four-carbon molecule that gives the C~4~ plants their name. Oxaloacetate is converted to malate, which is transferred to bundle cells. Malate reacts to release CO~2~ in the bundle cells. This increases the CO~2~ concentration in bundle cells and, as a result, increases the rate of photosynthesis. Question Type: Essay Section 12.8 Applying Difficulty: Difficult 51\. Why doesn\'t the Calvin cycle end after a three-carbon sugar is produced? a\. because electrons are still excited in the photosystems b\. because O~2~ must be produced to act as a final electron acceptor c\. because RuBP must be generated for the cycle to continue d\. because there are not enough carbon building blocks in the cell Ans: c Question Type: Multiple choice Section 12.8 Blooms: Understanding Difficulty: Easy 52\. The Calvin cycle: a\. converts glucose into energy in the form of NADH and ATP. b\. uses glucose and electrons from NADPH to make ATP. c\. uses ATP and glucose to make NADPH. d\. uses electrons from NADPH and ATP to produce glucose.
