For every NADH molecule sent through the Electron Transport System, how many ATPs do you get?

Where in respiration NAD is reduced to NADH, in photosynthesis {#1} is reduced to {#2}

Match each number with the correct component of the Calvin Cycle. (Not all choices will be used)

In the Pentose Phosphate Pathway, NADP+ is the main e- acceptor.

NADH does not need to be converted to ATP in order to be used as energy.

Briefly and succinctly describe how climate change might affect plant metabolism and crop yield using the following terms.  Note: On a broad scale climate change includes increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which may cause an increase in global annual air temperature and a decrease in precipitation.  Each one of the following nine climatic factors can lead to multiple changes in plant metabolism.  Use the three questions below combined with the climatic factors to help answer this question.   carbon dioxide                C3 photosynthesis                        C4 photosynthesis photorespiration            stomatal conductance                  crop canopy temperature nutrient uptake               crop yield                                        respiration   Increased temperature equals ? Increased carbon dioxide equals ? Decreased precipitation equals ?

The water potential is composed of temperature, pressure, matrix, gravity and solute potentials. What two potentials are considered the most important to water movement within the plant?

Fill in the blanks with the correct term(s)   Glycolysis is the lysis of {#1}            Glycolysis converts one {#2} into two pyruvic acid molecules.           The pyruvic acid is used for {#3} respiration.

Plants that require both a cold and a hot treatment for flower initiation and development are _______________.

Hydrophobic interactions of a cell membrane can be described as non-polar molecules that cannot form _______________ bonds with water.
