Wheat seedlings were grown at three different concentrations of carbon dioxide (in parts per million) and the rate of photosynthesis was measured at various light intensities. Rate of photosynthesis / l CO 2 min –1 19. 50 40 30 key: 20 1300 ppm CO2 500 ppm CO2 280 ppm CO2 10 0 0 5 10 15 20 Light intensity / × 10 3 lumen m –2 [Source: Adapted from J P Kimmins, Forest Ecology, (2nd edition) page 161] (a) Describe the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and light intensity for wheat seedlings grown at a CO2 concentration of 500 ppm. rate of photosynthesis increases (rapidly) / directly proportional; rate of photosynthesis levels off / increases slightly after 10000 lumen m–2; (2) (b) Outline the effect of CO2 concentration on the rate of photosynthesis of the wheat seedlings. maximum photosynthetic rate is highest with highest CO2 concentration; at low light levels, higher CO2 slightly increases the photosynthetic rate; at low CO2 / 280 ppm, the photosynthetic rate reaches its maximum at low light levels / constant over most light intensity / at 280 ppm CO2 concentration limits photosynthesis; 6 at 500 and 1300 ppm CO2 the curve is the same shape but with different maximum rates / each higher light intensity requires a higher CO2 concentration to reach maximum rate; maximum rate of photosynthesis from 280 to 500 ppm / increases 5 to 6 times while 500 to 1300 ppm increases 1.5 times; (3) (c) The normal atmospheric concentration of CO2 is 370 ppm. Deduce the effect of doubling the CO2 concentration to 740 ppm on the growth of wheat plants. the rate of photosynthesis will increase (over the rate at 370 ppm); the photosynthetic rate will at least double (but less than 5–6 times); not linear; bigger plants / more growth / more grain / greater yield; (2) Leaf area and chlorophyll levels were measured in sun leaves and shade leaves of Hedera helix (English Ivy) and Prunus laurocerasus (Cherry Laurel). Sun leaves developed under maximal sunlight conditions while shade leaves developed at reduced sunlight levels in the shadow of other leaves.

(a) Define the term active site of an enzyme. the site (on the surface of an enzyme) to which substrate(s) bind / the site (on the enzyme) where it catalyzes a chemical reaction; (1) (b) Outline how enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions. bring substrates close together in active site / in correct orientation; forms enzyme-substrate complex / substrate(s) bind to active site; lowers the activation energy for the reaction; weakens bonds in the substrate; (2) (c) Explain the effect of pH on enzyme activity. enzymes have an optimal pH; lower activity above and below optimum pH / graph showing this; too acidic / basic pH can denature enzyme; change shape of active site / tertiary structure altered; substrate cannot bind to active site / enzyme-substrate complex cannot form; hydrogen / ionic bonds in the enzyme / active site are broken / altered; (3) (c) The rate of cellular respiration is controlled by the allosteric inhibition of phosphofructokinase by ATP. Phosphofructokinase is the first enzyme in the respiration pathway. Explain the meaning of allosteric inhibition using this example. ATP inhibits phosphofructokinase at (allosteric) site away from the active site; inhibition alters the enzymes conformation / structure; the active site does not accept the substrate molecule; when respiration increases ATP levels phosphofructokinase is inhibited; respiration slows down; phosphofructokinase is the first enzyme in the respiration pathway so there is no build up of metabolic intermediates; as ATP is used up by the cell the inhibition of phosphofructokinase is reduced; respiration speeds up again; this is an example of negative feedback; (4) 10 9.
