1. Glucose-6 phosphate fructose-6-phosphate
2. Phosphoenolpyruvate → pyruvate

Plant Physiology - PhotosynthesisStomata are pores on the surfaces of the leaves and stems of plants that regulate gas exchange between the plants and the atmosphere.
Researchers found that the stomata density on the leaves of a species of plant change as the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere changes. When grown at 350 ppm CO₂ the plant has an average density of 300 stomata per mm², but when grown at 400 ppm CO₂ the plant has an average density of 250 stomata per mm².
Which of the following best describes how the ratio of the density of stomata (stomata per mm²) per CO₂ concentration (ppm CO₂) changes as the CO₂ concentration increases?
A The ratio decreases from 0.86 to 0.63, because fewer stomata are needed at higher CO₂ concentrations.
B The ratio decreases from 1.6 to 1.2, because fewer stomata are needed at higher CO₂ concentrations.
C The ratio increases from 0.63 to 0.86, because more stomata are needed at higher CO₂ concentrations.
D The ratio increases from 1.2 to 1.6, because more stomata are needed at higher CO₂ concentrations.

Plant Physiology - PhotosynthesisAtrazine is an herbicide that prevents plant growth by inhibiting photosynthesis. Atrazine works by binding to proteins in the electron transport chain of photosystem II. Once atrazine binds to the proteins, electrons can no longer travel down the chain to reach photosystem I. Based on this information, how does atrazine stop plant growth?
It prevents the formation of ATP and NADPH, which are needed by the light-independent reactions to make sugars.
It prevents water from releasing oxygen, which is needed by the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon.
It prevents the formation of NADH and FADH2, which are needed by the light-independent reactions to fix carbon.
It prevents chlorophyll from creating electrons, which are needed by the light-dependent reactions to make sugars.
