A New Experimental Pesticide Is Being Tested by a Large

question 8

Essay

A new experimental pesticide is being tested by a large agricultural chemical company. An unfortunate side effect in plants treated with this new product is a decrease in NADPH production in the chloroplasts. (Interestingly, reduction of NAD⁺ to NADH in the mitochondria is unaffected.) Given this observation, what specific change(s), if any, would you expect to observe in the amounts of ATP, 3-phosphoglycerate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and RuBP in the chloroplasts of these plants?
