Biology 101 Birney Biology 150 Chapter 10: Photosynthesis Specific Objectives: As a result of reviewing the assigned reading and lecture notes, the student should be able to complete the following: Study questions: 1. Why do plants have accessory pigments in addition to chlorophyll a? 2. Describe cyclic electron flow (be sure to include which photosystems are involved and what end products are made in the reactions). 3. Describe non-cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis (be sure to include which photosystems are involved and what end products are made in the reactions). 4. Explain how CO2 is "fixed" by the Calvin cycle and converted into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. (i.e. explain how the whole Calvin cycle works) 5. Why does the cell make unequal amounts of ATP and NADPH in the light reactions?
