Ch 8, Video: "Structures of Plants"

40 Multiple Choice (M.C.) Past class averages not available. This is a conceptually rich and definition-rich test and is usually considered "harder, but not as hard as Ch 2." It is crucial to have an overview of photosynthesis as well as its implications and its details. You may use a 5"x8" notecard on the test. Add any hand-written notes you wish - front and back.

Grade Warnings:Contains some "trick questions" - meaning that careful reading is necessary. Careful reading takes time so time management is also needed. This is our 4th test and it cannot be retaken. Tests comprise 50% of the class grade.

Types of questions:

7 M.C. on Basic Structures

17 M.C. on History, Big Ideas & Energy Transfer

9 M.C. on Light Dependent Reactions

7 M.C. on Calvin Cycle

Content:

where photosynthesis begins, high-energy electron movement, electron tranport chain from photosystem I to photosystem II, difference in charges across the thylakoid membrane (hypertonicity of H+ ions), where light reactions take place, sunlight absorbed in chlorophyll within thylakoid membrane, pick out which step begins the light reactions, roles of pigments in PS I and PS II, how inside of thylakoid membrane becomes charged, how PS I and PS II differ, reactants and products for light dependent reactions, be able to pick out a step that is in light dependent reactions but is not in Calvin cycle, where does Calvin cycle take place, how does it differ from light dependent reactions, at beginning of C.C. the 5 carbon molecules are destabilized by what?, reactants and products of C.C., where energy comes from for each of the energy-dependent parts of the C.C, fates of all carbons entering, staying in, or exiting the C.C., know the location and importance of stroma, chloroplast, thylakoid, granum, chlorphyll, PSI, PSII, C.C., know details of experiments done by scientists van Helmount, Priestley, Ingenhousz, Calvin, photosynthesis equation (by heart!), sequential flow of electrons through photosynthesis, know factors that affect rates of photosynthesis, know structures and names of parts of ATP and how it changes through charging and discharging, know a little about NADPH.
