The action spectra for two different types of photosynthetic organisms are shown. Ulva, or sea
lettuce, is a green marine alga composed of two layers of cells. The action spectrum for crop
plants was plotted from an average of 22 species of plants.
What describes photosynthesis in these organisms?
C. Photosynthesis by Ulva is highest in red light while that of crop plants is highest in blue.

7. 22M.2.HL.TZ2.6
(a) The processes of photosynthesis and respiration have some factors in common and others
differ. Compare and contrast both processes for specific factors.

8. 19N.2.HL.TZ0.4
During photosynthesis plants use water in the conversion of light energy to chemical energy.

9. 19M.2.HL.TZ2.8
(a) Draw a fully labelled graph of the action spectrum for photosynthesis.

(b) Explain Calvin’s experiment and what was discovered about photosynthesis through his
work.

Researchers set up apparatus that continuously monitored the rates of water uptake and loss
from cut flowers. A rose shoot was inserted into a flask of water placed on a balance. The flask
was kept full by a water supply from a reservoir. The graph shows the results over five days.

Continuous Automatic Measurement of Water Uptake and Water Loss of Cut Flower Stems,
(a) Suggest a reason for including a lid with vents above the water reservoir.
[1]
(b) Explain the differences in the water loss rate in dark and light conditions.
[2]
(c) Describe how the rose shoot could be treated to show what part of the plant loses water.
[1]
(d) A standard potometer only measures water uptake. Explain how this apparatus measures the
amount of water lost by the shoot as well as uptake.
