- B carbon dioxide; water
- C C=O bonds; C-H bonds
- D C-H bonds; carbon dioxide
- E water; carbon dioxide
21Why do plants use the ATP made by ATP synthase to produce sugars?
- A because animals prefer sugars (due to their sweet taste) over ATP
- Bbecause the ATP made in plant photosynthesis is different from the ATP made in cellular respiration, and only the ATP made in respiration is able to fuel cellular work
- C because ATP is too unstable to store for more than an instant
22Four of the following statements are correct. Find the one that is FALSE.
While performing photosynthesis during the day, the chloroplasts of a green leaf produce- A ATP to be used in the Calvin cycle.
- B ATP as an energy source for the roots of the plant.
- C sugars for the green leafs cellular respiration at night.
- D sugars as an energy source for the roots of the plant.
- E sugars to fuel the growth of the plant.
23Three of the four answers below explain why a plants green leaves typically have higher rates of photosynthesis compared with respiration. Find the exception.
- AThe green leaf is only a small part of the plant and needs to produce enough energy-rich sugars to support all of the non-photosynthetic parts (like roots, non-green stems and trunks, or flowers).
- BOnly when overall photosynthetic activity exceeds overall respiration activity of the whole plant can the plant grow and accumulate biomass.
- CPhotosynthesis supports the energy needs of the plant during the day and the night.
- DThe rate of photosynthesis is higher because leaves dont have mitochondria.
