This document contains homework assignments for Week Seven of BIO 181: Concepts and Connections at Grand Canyon University, focusing on material from Chapter Ten. It’s designed for students to demonstrate their understanding of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
This assignment is likely due during Week Seven and contributes to a student’s overall grade in the course. It serves as a practice opportunity to solidify concepts presented in the textbook and lectures.
This homework does *not* provide a comprehensive review of all course material, nor does it replace the need to read the textbook or attend lectures. It focuses specifically on applying knowledge related to the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, chloroplast structure, and electron transport chains.
The full assignment includes a diagram to label regarding the photosynthetic process, short answer questions covering autotrophs vs. heterotrophs, chloroplast components, photosynthetic electron carriers, the source and pathway of electrons, photophosphorylation, the nature of light, the relationship between wavelength and energy, the order of photosystems, a comparison of cyclic and non-cyclic electron flow, and a description of the Benson-Calvin cycle. It also includes a section on redox reactions.
