Anyone know anything about PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

By admin On March 30, 2010 1 Comment

The test-tubes shown were set up by a student to test the effect of light on the process of photosynthesis. All test-tubes contain water and bromothymol blue. (note that bromothymol blue is a chemical indicator that changes colour from blue to yellow in the presence of carbon dioxide.) The student used a straw to bubble carbon dioxide gas through each test-tube until the mixture of water and indicator turned to yellow. Equal-sized pieces of freshwater weed were added to test-tubes A and B. The test-tubes were stoppered, and black plastic was wrapped around test-tube B. All test-tubes were exposed to a light source for a period of 24 hours.

test-tube A: with aquatic plant
test-tube B: with aquatic plant and black plastic wrapped around
test-tube C: with light source

QUESTIONS
- Which test-tube represents the control? Explain.
- What hypothesis was the student testing?
- Describe the colour change, if any, in each test-tube after 24-hour period that would support the hypothesis. In each case explain the expected results.

If anyone can answer any of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

2. Which of these is the MOST important difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration? (Points :1)
Aerobic respiration produces more ATP for a cell.
Anaerobic respiration produces more ATP for a cell.
Glycolysis occurs only during anaerobic respiration.
Glycolysis occurs in mitochondria during aerobic respiration.

3. Which process is the main source of the oxygen used in aerobic respiration? (Points :1)
the dark reaction of photosynthesis
the Krebs cycle
the light reaction of photosynthesis
the electron transport chain

4. Which of these life processes is an example of anabolic metabolism? (Points :1)
chemical digestion
passive transport
protein synthesis
cell plasmolysis

5. Which statement BEST summarizes the importance of oxygen to life on Earth? (Points :1)
Oxygen makes multicellular life on Earth possible.
Oxygen makes plant life on Earth possible.
Without oxygen, all unicellular life on Earth would die.
Without oxygen, no life would exist on Earth.

6. Which substance in a cell contains the MOST potential energy? (Points :1)
ADP
ATP
oxygen
glucose

7. The movement of hydrogen ions through a protein in a thylakoid membrane provides the energy for making ATP. Which type of energy do the hydrogen ions have? (Points :1)
chemical energy
kinetic energy
light energy
potential energy

8. Which of the following events was most likely responsible for the oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere between two and three billion years ago? (Points :1)
the formation of carbonate rocks
the growth of the oceans
the formation of large volcanic mountains
the evolution of photosynthetic microorganisms

9. In an experiment, two aquatic snails and two sprigs of pond weed are sealed in a glass jar filled with water. How could you change the experiment to BEST test the effect of a reduction in the amount of oxygen in the environment? (Points :1)
Add more water.
Add another sprig of pond weed.
Remove one sprig of pond weed.
Remove one of the snails.

10. Which of the following could slow down the production of ATP in an animal cell? (Points :1)
removing some carbon dioxide from the cell
adding some oxygen to the cell
increasing the number of mitochondria in the cell
removing some ATP synthase enzymes from the cell
