Short Answer
 

 24. 

Compare and contrast the terms photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
 

 25. 

What do you think would happen to a plant's energy-trapping ability if suddenly the only pigment it contained was chlorophyll? What is your reasoning?
 

 26. 

Predict what would happen if all the ATP production in living things suddenly ceased.

 28. 

Maintaining body temperature, transmitting nerve impulses, movement of cilia, and bioluminescence are various activities of organisms. What requirement do these activities have in common? Why is ATP important in each activity?
 

 29. 

In an experiment to determine whether green plants take in CO2, a biologist filled a large beaker with aquarium water to which she added bromothymol blue. She exhaled CO2 into the solution of bromothymol blue to turn it yellow. Then she placed a sprig of Elodea into two test tubes. She left the third test tube without Elodea to serve as a control. She added the yellow bromothymol solution to all three test tubes and placed a stopper in each. Next, she placed all the test tubes in sunlight. After several hours in sunlight, the bromothymol solution in the test tubes with the Elodea turned blue. The bromothymol solution in the control remained yellow. What conclusion can be drawn from the observations? Explain.

 30. 

Refer to Table 9-1. The combination of glycolysis and fermentation yields a net gain of two ATP molecules. How many molecules of ATP does fermentation yield? Explain.
 
 
In 1803, Thomas Engelmann of Germany used a combination of filamentous alga and aerobic bacteria to study the effect of various colors of the visible light spectrum on the rate of photosynthesis. He passed white light through a prism in order to separate the light into the different colors of the spectrum; then he exposed different segments of the alga to the various colors. He observed in which areas of the spectrum the greatest number of bacteria appeared.
