The prefix "photo-" means

1

When talking about photosynthesis, the word "synthesis" means to bring together molecules to make glucose.

1

The prefix "chloro-" means

1

The suffix "-phyll" means

1

The Calvin Cycle is also called

1

Light independent means that light is required to complete the reaction.

1

Light dependent means that light is not required to complete the reaction.

1

Stomata are openings on plants that allow for gas exchange.

1

Photoinhibition is when the rate of photosynthesis is decreased or even stopped due to excessive light exposure resulting in the reduction of plant growth.

1

The distinction between C3, C4, and CAM plants is the intermediate substance that is made prior to the Calvin Cycle. These modifications allow C3 plants to grow in cooler regions, C4 plants to grow in hot climates, and CAM plants to grow in very dry environments.

1

Corn is an example of a C4 plant which can tolerate hot weather conditions.

1

Pineapple is an example of a CAM plant. The malic acid stored in the fruit can cause canker sores in your mouth when you eat too much fresh pineapple.

1

Approximately how much chlorophyll was present in the low-light plants after 24 hours?

1

Approximately how much chlorophyll was present in the moderate-light plants after 24 hours?

1

One similarity about the chlorophyll content between the low and moderate light seedlings is:

1

One of the differences in the seedling groups is

2

To which of the two lighting conditions would you expose seedlings if you wanted to maximize the rate of photosynthesis in the plants as well as minimizing your costs for electricity to light the plants in the greenhouse?
