When light strikes cholorphyll molecules, they lose electrons, which are ultimately replaced by splitting a molecule of_____.
Explanation
When light strikes chlorophyll molecules, they undergo a process called photosynthesis. During this process, the chlorophyll molecules lose electrons, which are ultimately replaced by splitting a molecule of water (H2O). This splitting of water molecules releases oxygen and provides the electrons needed for the chlorophyll molecules to carry out photosynthesis and produce energy in the form of ATP.Rate this question:

Which of the following are produced by reactions tha take place in the thylakoids and are consumed by reactions in the stroma?
-
CO2 and H2O
-
NADP+ and ADP
-
ATP and NADPH
-
Glucose and O2
Correct Answer
A. ATP and NADPHExplanation
ATP and NADPH are produced by reactions that take place in the thylakoids during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These molecules are then consumed by reactions in the stroma during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. CO2 and H2O are reactants in the light-independent reactions, while NADP+ and ADP are not directly involved in the production or consumption of molecules in the thylakoids and stroma.Rate this question:

Of the following metabolic processes, which one is common to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
-
Reactions that convert light energy to chemical energy
-
Reactions that split H2O molecules and release O2
-
Reactions that store energy by pumping H+ across membranes
-
Reactions that convert CO2 to sugar
Correct Answer
A. Reactions that store energy by pumping H+ across membranesExplanation
The correct answer is "reactions that store energy by pumping H+ across membranes." This metabolic process, known as chemiosmosis, occurs in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis, H+ ions are pumped across the thylakoid membrane during the light-dependent reactions, creating a proton gradient that is used to produce ATP. In cellular respiration, H+ ions are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane during the electron transport chain, creating a proton gradient that is used to produce ATP.Rate this question:

The combustion of fossil fuels may be contributing to global warming mainly by raising atmospheric concentrations of_____.
Correct Answer
CO2Explanation
The combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. As the concentration of CO2 increases in the atmosphere, more heat is trapped, leading to rising temperatures and climate change. Therefore, the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is a significant contributor to global warming through the release of CO2.Rate this question:
