Question

1. what is another name for sugar? 31. which energy carrying molecule is produced from the electron transport chain? 32. after atp and nadph are emptied in the calvin cycle, where do they return? 33. when the water is split during the light dependent reactions, where do the extra electrons go? 34. what are the three factors that affect the process of photosynthesis? 35. what will a plant do if it reaches its maximum amount of light? 36. what do desert plants and cactus have to prevent water loss?

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrate is another name for sugar as sugars are a type of carbohydrate.
2. ATP (Adenosine - Tri - Phosphate) is the energy - carrying molecule produced from the electron transport chain.
3. They return to the light - dependent reactions to be re - energized.
4. The extra electrons from water splitting in light - dependent reactions are passed to the electron transport chain.
5. Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature are the three main factors affecting photosynthesis.
6. If a plant reaches its maximum amount of light, it may experience photoinhibition or the rate of photosynthesis may level off.
7. Desert plants and cacti have thick cuticles, small or no leaves (modified into spines), and stomata that open at night to prevent water loss.

Answer:

1. Carbohydrate
2. ATP
3. Light - dependent reactions
4. Electron transport chain
5. Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature
6. May experience photoinhibition or rate of photosynthesis levels off
7. Thick cuticles, small or no leaves (spines), nocturnal stomata
