5) What is the main advantage of the C4 and CAM photosynthesis strategies over the C3
strategy?
They allow the plant to fix carbon more efficiently under conditions of low atmospheric
CO2.
They make it possible for the plant to use the Calvin cycle at night and during the day.
They help the plant conserve water and synthesize glucose efficiently under hot, dry
conditions.
They allow the plant to avoid photorespiration by producing a four-carbon sugar in place
of
glucose.
They allow the plant to fix carbon more efficiently in dim or cool conditions.
Term 4 of 50

produces carbon dioxide.
is a single chemical reaction with just one step.
produces water.
releases heat.
, Term 5 of 50
12) In the electron transport chain, the final electron acceptor is
ADP.
ATP.
an oxygen atom.
a molecule of carbon dioxide.
a molecule of water.
Term 6 of 50
43) Living systems
violate the first law of thermodynamics.
are examples of a closed system.
decrease their entropy while increasing the entropy of the universe.
violate the second law of thermodynamics.
None of the choices are correct.
Term 7 of 50
47) Which of the following statements about the energy yield of aerobic respiration is false?
Each FADH2 molecule yields 2 ATP molecules and each NADH molecule generates 3 ATP
molecules.
Most of the ATP derived during aerobic respiration results from oxidative phosphorylation.
Glycolysis and the "grooming" of pyruvate together produce more NADH per glucose
molecule than does the citric acid cycle.
Oxidative phosphorylation resulting from one glucose molecule may yield 32-34 ATP
molecules.
Less than 50% of the chemical energy available in glucose is converted to ATP energy.
