Packet 2: Bonus 10

In this organelle, reactive oxygen species are often formed when electrons move from ferredoxin (“fair-uh-DOX-in”) to O2. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this organelle, within which electrons from photosystem I (“one”) can move to oxygen to form radicals as part of the water–water cycle. This organelle contains stacks of thylakoids.
ANSWER: chloroplasts
[10m] Chloroplasts contain several isoforms of this enzyme with iron, copper, zinc, or manganese in its active site. This enzyme, which is mutated in some familial types of ALS, catalyzes a disproportionation producing O2 and H2O2.
ANSWER: superoxide dismutase [or SOD]
[10h] This protein carries electrons from cytochrome b6f to the P700 center of photosystem I. This protein’s copper center is forced into an entatic state to speed up electron transfer.
ANSWER: plastocyanin [prompt on PC; reject “plastoquinone”]
