Response to Questions

1) Because the plants had not been watered, The H2O was not able to be split to make protons and O2. Therefore the NADP+ and ADP could not be reduced. Without this reduction the calvin cycle could not take place and the plants cannot produce food for itself. Therefore the plant is dying.

2) Because the Stomates are closed, the plant is not able to take in CO2 or release O2. This impacts the Calvin Cycle because it cannot release CO2. This also impacts the calvin cycle because it is difficult for the reactions to take place.
