Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
First and Last Name__________________________
Section________
This is a 12 point assignment. The objective of this assignment is to spend hours thinking and understanding the physiological pathways of Photosynthesis and of Glycolysis and Cellular respiration. The more time you spend looking at these physiological cycles, extrapolating and interpreting, the more comprehension you’ll achieve. This assignment can act as a study tool and should add towards your overall study time for Unit 2.
Point Distribution:
Chapter 8 Cycle Drawings = 3 points
Chapter 8 Cycle 1 page Explanation Paper = 3 points
Chapter 7 Cycle Drawings = 3 points
Chapter 7 Cycle 1 page Explanation Paper = 3 points
Total Points for Chapter 8 & 7 Assignment = 12 points
For chapter 8: Draw out on a blank 8X11 sheet of paper the two diagrams below.
The first diagram is summary of the pathways of electrons through the PHOTOSYSTEMS and through the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAINS.
The second diagram is the summary of the CALVIN (or C3) CYCLE. You must know the ins and outs of these two important pathways which all begin with light and water. DON’T JUST COPY the diagrams for the sake of completing the assignment, this completely defeats the objective of the assignment. Rather, think of why each step in the process is necessary and how each step assists in the pathway. Be sure to label all parts of the systems and cycles. Then on a second sheet of paper, write in your own words the physiological pathway or story explaining all steps of all reactions from the beginning of the reaction center to the end of the C3 Cycle. You must include in your paper the following terms in order to receive full credit: NADPH, NADP,+ H,+ ADP, ATP, H2O, O2, CO2, e,- NADP, ETC II, ETC I, Photosystem II, Photosystem I, Reaction center, Light, Photons, Primary electron acceptor, Chlorophyll, Stroma, Pigment molecules, Thylakoid, ATP Synthase, Glucose, Light-independent, Light-dependent, Chemiosmosis, Calvin Cycle, Kinetic energy, Concentration gradient, Hydrogen pump, rubisco, G3P (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate), RuBP, PGA (Phosphoglyceric acid),
