What were the results obtained from the lollipop experiment that enz3wijp 90t2l 5:ijkx fabled Calv14sv+ik2r a31gkt giu6abjz5in to determine the order of the light-independent reactions of photo1bz16r ijkga4a3+guvi2k s t5synthesis?
A. Algae Chlorella were killed after being added to hot methanol.
B. A high percentage of radioactivity was found in glycerate-3-phosphate in the first sample.
C. A large amount of triose phosphate and other sugar phosphates were found in the first sample.
D. $12CO_2$was replaced by $14CO_2$ , a radioactive isotope of carbon which was supplied to the algae Chlorella.
参考答案: B
本题详细解析:
B The lollipop experiment by Melvin Calvin and his team aimed to determine the pathway of the light-independent reactions. Calvin and his team took algae Chlorella samples at different time intervals to identify which carbon compounds in the algae contained the radioactive isotope of carbon,14C.Hence, the12$CO_2$supplied to the algae at the start of the experiment was then replaced with14C instead which was added by the researchers. This is not part of the results, but one of the experimental steps (Choice D). Additionally, the algae were added to hot methanol which killed the algae enabling the researchers to analyse the results at that time interval. This is also not part of the results, but one of the experimental steps (Choice A). The results showed a high percentage of radioactive carbon in glycerate-3-phosphate in the first sample. This shows that the glycerate-3-phosphate is one of the first products of the light-independent reaction. An increase in the percentage of radioactivity in triose phosphate and other sugar phosphates in the later samples and not the first samples shows that these are intermediate and final products of the light-independent reaction (Choice C).
