    1 In 1906, the biologist Frederick Blackman at the University of Cambridge investigated
    the effect of limiting factors on the rate of photosynthesis. The graph summarises
    some of the results of his investigation.

    (a) Explain what is meant by the limiting factors of photosynthesis.


    (4)
    (b) At low light intensity, the increase in the rate of photosynthesis is the same at
    15 °C and 25 °C. Explain why.
    (3)
    (c) The increase in the rate of photosynthesis as light intensity increases is greater at
    25 °C than 15 °C. Explain why.
    (3)
    The normal concentration of 0.035% carbon dioxide in the atmosphere limits the rate of
    growth of plants.
    (d) Explain why Blackman maintained the plants used in his investigation in an
    atmosphere consisting of 0.40% carbon dioxide.
    (2)
    (Total for Question 1 = 12 marks)

    2 This question explores the chemistry of why limiting factors affect the rate of
    photosynthesis. Answer using your knowledge of the light-dependent and light-
    independent reactions.
    (a) Explain what happens when the concentration of carbon dioxide is the limiting
    factor.
    (3)
    (b) The rate of production of ATP and NADP decreases as light intensity decreases
    and becomes a limiting factor.
    Explain the consequences of this.
    (3)
    (c) Explain the effects of decreasing temperature on the rate of the
    light-independent reactions.
    (2)
    (Total for Question 2 = 8 marks)
    3 Cells that photosynthesise contain many chloroplasts.
    The diagram below shows a chloroplast.

    (a) (i) Draw a line on the diagram to show where photophosphorylation takes place.Label
    the line P. (1)

    (b) (i) State where carbon fixation takes place in a chloroplast..

    (ii) The equation for carbon fixation is shown below.

    Name the molecules Y and Z.


    (2)
    molecule Y ...........................................................................
    molecule Z ...........................................................................
    (iii) Name the enzyme involved in carbon fixation.
    (1)
    (iv) Suggest how molecule Z, the product of carbon fixation, can be used to synthesise
    starch. (5)
    (Total for Question 3 = 10 marks)

    4 The diagram below shows some of the steps involved in photosynthesis.

    (a) Complete the diagram by writing the correct word or words on the dotted lines.
    (3)
    *(b) Describe the roles of the thylakoid membranes in the production of ATP in the light-
    dependent reaction.
    (6)
    (Total for Question 4 = 9 marks)

    5 The light-independent reaction of photosynthesis produces GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-
    phosphate).
    This product is then used in the synthesis of other molecules, such as DNA.
    (a) Describe how GALP is formed in the light-independent reaction.
    (4)
    (b) Describe the structure of DNA.
    (4)
    (c) In plants, GALP is converted into other sugars that are used in the synthesis of new
    biological molecules.
    Suggest how GALP contributes to the synthesis of DNA.
    (3)
    (Total for Question 5 = 10 marks)

    6 (a) The diagram below shows some of the steps in the process of photosynthesis.

    (i) Place a cross in the box next to the name of molecule P in the diagram. (1)

    (ii) The equation below can be used to calculate the magnification of this chloroplast.image
    length = actual length × magnification
    The actual length of this chloroplast is 0.007 mm.
    Measure the image length between lines W and Y. Use this equation to calculate the
    magnification of the image. (3)
    magnification = . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
