Standard Biology Photosynthesis & Respiration Unit Test
Honors Biology Energy Unit Test 2011
Name: _______________________________________________ Date: _____________
Part I.
The following short answer questions are required, and they should help with the remainder of the test.
1. Write the equation for the BALANCED photosynthesis reaction in the space below. Write the chemical formulas AND names of the molecules. Label the reaction as endergonic or exergonic.
Endergonic
6CO2 + 6H2O( C6H12O6 + 6O6
carbon dioxide water Glucose oxygen gas
2. Write the equation for the BALANCED aerobic cellular respiration reaction in the space below. Write the chemical formulas AND names of the molecules. Label the reaction as endergonic or exergonic.
Exergonic
C6H12O6 + 6O6 ( 6CO2 + 6H2O
Glucose oxygen gas carbon dioxide water
3. Why are photosynthesis and respiration considered complementary reactions?
The products of one reaction are the reactants of the other reaction. In other words, what is needed for one reaction to take place is produced in the other reaction.
4. Why is cellular respiration essential to life?
Cellular respiration unlocks the chemical energy stored in the chemical bonds of food molecules. The energy is released from the cellular respiration reaction as ATP, which is a high energy molecule that is like a battery for the cells. In other words, ATP provides energy ready for the cells to use. All living things require a constant supply of energy to power their life processes.
5. Why is photosynthesis essential to life?
Producers produce the majority of food on our planet for not only themselves but all other organisms. Also, oxygen gas is a product of the reaction which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Many organisms on Earth require oxygen to respire, and therefore to live.
6. This question is required. Please read all requirements.

7. Describe in detail what happens during the light reactions of photosystems. Use terms such as photosystems (be specific about which is which), pigments, reaction center, water-splitting, NADPH, ATP, ADP, NADP+, oxygen gas, etc.
Photosystem II: Water-splitting photosystem
In photosystem II light energy is captured by the pigments in the thylakoid
membrane. The wavelengths of light bounce from pigment to pigment until finally
reaching the reaction center which is next to a principal pigment molecule. When light energy is captured electrons are moved to an excited state. Water molecules are also split in this photosystem in order to replace the excited electrons. When the water molecules are split oxygen gas from the water molecules is released.
[pic]
Electron Transport Chain:
The excited electrons move through an electron transport chain. Here is where ATP
molecules to be used in the Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) are produced.
Photosystem I: NADPH producing photosystem
In the Photosystem I electrons reduce NADP+ to form NADPH. NADPH transports
electrons to the Dark reactions.

8. Describe how CAM plants are different from C3 and C4 plants and WHY they have this adaptation. Where are CAM plants typically found?
CAM plants are different from C3 and C4 plants because they have temporal division of the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis. CAM plants keep their stomata closed during the day to reduce the loss of water. The rate of evaporation is highest during the day. The light reactions do not require carbon dioxide, so the light reactions can take place when the stomata are closed. At night, when the evaporation rates are lower the stomata are open to allow the intake of carbon dioxide so the dark reactions can take place. In C3 plants the reactions can take place at the same time. In C4 plants, the reactions can also take place at the same time due to a special enzyme which helps the plant produce carbon dioxide and access carbon dioxide so that the dark reactions can take place when the stomata are closed. Therefore, C4 plants are also adapted to arid environments.

Short Answers. Choose 2
1. Two stages of aerobic respiration take place in the mitochondria. Explain how you would know that prokaryotic organisms do NOT perform aerobic respiration.
Prokaryotic organisms do not have mitochondria in their cells. Therefore they cannot perform aerobic respiration.
2. a. What is the net ATP yield of aerobic respiration?
36-38 ATP
b. What is the net ATP yield of anaerobic respiration?
2 ATP
3. Regarding aerobic and anaerobic respiration, why is one process more efficient? Why is this?
In aerobic respiration, oxygen gas is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain where the majority of the ATP molecules is produced. Also, glucose is not fully broken down in anaerobic respiration, so there is still chemical energy that is not released in the bonds of the lactic acid or ethanol.
4. Name two functions of carotene. Traps light energy as an accessory pigment and protects the other pigments from light damage.
Choose 1 of the following
Option 1. Did aerobic or anaerobic organisms develop first? Explain how you know.
Anaerobic respiration. When life first originated oxygen was not a dominant gas in the atmosphere. The composition of the atmosphere changed after photosynthetic organisms started producing oxygen. Also, prokaryotic organisms evolved first.
Option 2. Describe the contribution of the understanding of photosynthesis of either Priestly, Ingenhousz or Senebier, being sure to describe their experimental set-up.
Option 3. First, state whether aerobic or anaerobic respiration takes place in the following organisms, AND explain how you know! If the organism undergoes a form of fermentation, please specify which form.
a. humans—aerobic respiration and lactic acid fermentation. We need to breathe in
oxygen gas to live to perform aerobic respiration. After strenuous exercise lactic
acid build-up can make our muscles sore.
b. yeast—ethanol fermentation. Yeast can be used to produce alcoholic beverages and to
make bread rise (the carbon dioxide causes the bread to rise).
b. bacteria—various kinds of fermentation including lactic acid fermentation. Some
bacteria are used to produce foods such as yogurt through lactic acid
fermentation.
Option 4. If rising global temperatures (global warming) have been linked to increased levels of carbon dioxide, and deforestation and carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles are increasing, how could this be linked to the cycles of photosynthesis and respiration? BE SPECIFIC!
Deforestation means fewer tree to carry out photosynthesis and convert carbon dioxide to oxygen gas. This means increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere.
Option 5. Describe in DETAIL two adaptations of land plants to conserve water.
*CAM plants (see earlier question)
*C4 plants
*thick waxy cuticle—prevents water loss
*reduced SA to volume ratio
Option 6. Explain what a redox reaction is, and how redox reactions are important in photosynthesis and respiration. Be as specific as possible.
Oxidation/Reduction Reactions involve an electron acceptor molecule and an electron
donor.
Bonus: You should fill these out on your test booklet.
1. In which part of the photosynthesis or respiration reactions are electrons boosted uphill?
2. When electrons fall down an electron transport chain, what actually generates energy? Be specific.
3. What is a facultative anaerobe?
4. What substance (and by which process) gives yogurt and saurkraut its sour taste?
5. In what kind of environments might plants conduct anaerobic respiration? Be specific!
6. What is xanophyll?
