A. Exercises

Exercise 1: Light Dependent Reaction

Direction: In the diagram below, match each light dependent reaction component/molecule with its’
name. Then answer the questions below.

____7___a. Electron transport chain

___10____b. Stroma

____6___c. Nicotinamide adenine dinucluotide phosphate

____2___d. Photosystem II

____8___e. Thylakoid

_____4__f. Hydrogen ions

____9___g. ATP Synthase

____1___h. Sunlight energy

___3____i. Oxygen Molecules

__5_____j. Photosystem I

Questions:

1. What is the electron donor for the light-dependent reaction? What is the byproduct that is
created after the donor gives up its electrons?

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis convert solar energy into chemical energy,
producing ATP and NADPH or NADH to temporarily store this energy. In oxygenic photosynthesis,
H2O serves as the electron donor to replace the reaction center electron, and oxygen is formed as a
byproduct.

2. What is the final electron acceptor? Where does the electron acceptor travel to next?

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which allows for oxidative
phosphorylation. Without oxygen, the electrons will be backed up, eventually causing the electron
transport chain to halt.

Direction: Read each situations below and give possible outcomes in relation to the function of light-
dependent reactions.

Essential Questions:

1. What will you expect to happen if the chloroplast was not exposed to sunlight? Explain.

Sunlight allows plants to perform photosynthesis, a process which is required for plant growth and
health. Photosynthesis allows plants to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide and water and
release oxygen. ... Plants that are denied sufficient light will eventually lose their color and die.

2. What will you expect to happen if the chloroplast ran out of available NADP+? Elaborate.

The organism would not be able to produce NADPH but will be able to produce ATP.

B.Exercises

Exercise 1: Calvin Cycle Nature’s Smallest Factory

Direction: Provide the information on the blanks. Then summarize the stages of Calvin Cycle by filling
in the table below.

1. Energy exists in the form of _________Sugars___________ made by the plant.

2. Plants get their carbon from the _________air (CO2)_________.

3. Photosynthesis occurs in two steps, the second is the Calvin Cycle .

4. RuBP contains ______5____ carbons.

5. The enzyme, _________RUBISCO________________ builds an initial 6 carbon sequence.

6. This sequence split into two short chains called ____P GAS_____.

7. NADPH transfers a ___Hydrogen___ to those molecules, they become G3P.

Glucose needs 6 carbons to form, made from two molecules G3P. Sugar has been manufactured, but
not quite.....

8. The original RuBP must be _____________recreated (regenerated) ____________.

9. How many production lines are going on at the same time? __6___

10. How many carbons exist from all of these production lines? __36____

11. How many of these are used to make glucose? __6___ To make RuBP? __30____

12. The molecular mix and match ensures that ___6____ RuBP are regenerated.

STAGE DESCRIPTION MOLECULES INVOLVED

CARBON A CO2 molecule

FIXATION combines with a five-
carbon acceptor
molecule, ribulose-
1,5-bisphosphate
(RuBP). This step
makes a six-carbon
compound that splits
into two molecules
of a three- carbon
compound, 3-
phosphoglyceric acid
(3-PGA). This
reaction is catalyzed
by the enzyme RuBP
carboxylase/oxygena
se, or rubisco.

REDUCTION In the second stage,

AND SUGAR ATP and NADPH are
PROTECTION used to convert the
3-PGA molecules into
molecules of a three-
carbon sugar,
glyceraldehyde-3-
phosphate (G3P).
This stage gets its
name because
NADPH donates
electrons to, or
reduces, a three-
carbon intermediate
 to make G3P.

REGENERATIO RUBP Regeneration

N OF RuBP refers to the cyclical
process where the
photosynthetic enzy
me Rubisco fixes
carbon dioxide into
the sugars that fuel
plant growth and
productivity. ... Only
one-sixth of the PGA
carbon is converted
to sugar—the rest of
the carbon is used to
recycle RuBP as the
cycle continues.
