is
a. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
b. Glucose
c. Fructose
d. Ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate
e. Sucrose
4. Rubisco-------------
a. Catalyzes the carboxylation of CO2 to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate

c. Catalyzes the reduction of two molecules of PGAL to form glucose
GENERAL BIOLOGY (BSC MISC) COMPLETE EXAM ( CHAPTER 5-9 ) ALL CORRECT
, d. All the above
e. A and b but not c
5. Which of the following statements about photosynthesis is true?-------------
a. The light-dependent reactions can occur only in the light, the light-independent reactions only in
the dark
b. Photorespiration is more efficient at producing glucose than is photosynthesis
c. The light-dependent reactions produce the energy-rich compounds that are used to run the
light-independent reactions
d. All the above are true
6. Which of the following statements accurately describes the relationship between photosynthesis and
cellular respiration?---------
a. Photosynthesis occurs only in autotrophs; cellular respiration occurs only in heterotrophs
b. Photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert inorganics to energy-rich organics; respiration
breaks down energy-rich organics to synthesize ATP
c. Photosynthesis involves the oxidation of glucose; respiration involves the reduction of CO2
d. The primary function of photosynthesis is to use solar energy to synthesize ATP; the primary
function of cellular respiration is to break down ATP and release energy
