12.Where in a chloroplast will you find the most chlorophyll?
13.Explain why plants with a lot of chlorophyll do not grow well under green light.
14.Write the equation for photosynthesis below. Underneath the chemicals, identify
which part of photosynthesis each chemical is a reactant or product of (LR or CC).

15.In a hypothetical experiment, a scientist enclosed two plants into two plastic bags.
Both were ivy plants, had the same starting mass, were given the same amount of
water and had the same amount of soil and sunlight. However, the scientist would talk
to one of the plants through a small opening three times a day. He would always reseal
the bag. After two weeks, he found the masses of each plant and found that the plant
he talked to had more mass than the plant he did not talk to. Explain the results.

Chain?
13.What does NADH become when it releases electrons?
14.What does FADH2 become when it releases electrons?
15.What enzyme is responsible for making ATP? How does it work?
16.What does oxygen do that is so important?
17.Which part of cellular respiration releases CO2?
18.How much ATP can be produced from 1 molecule of glucose?
19.Explain why there is only a net production of 2 ATP from glycolysis.
20.A small water plant is placed in a solution of Bromothymol blue. BB turns a yellow
color when it absorbs CO2 from the air (it makes the solution acidic). Explain why when
the plant is in the sunlight, the solution remains blue, but when placed in darkness for
several hours, the solution turns yellow.
