Where does a plant get the energy necessary to do the chemical reaction in photosynthesis?

Simple sugars

Carbon dioxide

Sunlight

Water

How do you know an organism is a heterotroph?

The organism makes its own food

The organism uses carbon dioxide

The organism must consume food

The organism has roots

Why are most plants green?

Plants contain carbon dioxide

Plants contain chlorophyll in chloroplasts

Plants contain oxygen

Plants contain copper

What are the reactants for photosynthesis?

Oxygen and glucose

Oxygen and carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide and simple sugars

Carbon dioxide and water

How do the chloroplasts help in photosynthesis?

They contain chlorophyll which interacts with sunlight to create a chemical reaction

They contain carbon dioxide which interacts with sunlight to create a chemical reaction

They contain oxygen which interacts with sunlight to create a chemical reaction

They contain copper which reacts with sunlight to create a chemical reaction

Would you expect a plant to produce less or more oxygen on a cloudy day?

Less

The same amount

None of the above

The coral reef ecosystem is full of interactions among organisms. Large fish called barracuda feed on smaller fish called parrot fish. The parrot fish feed on algae. Which of these living things would be responsible for releasing oxygen from the process of photosynthesis?

Parrot fish

Algae

Barracuda

Whale

The Arizona poppy is a plant that is native to the Southwestern United States. Its orange flower blooms in the summer and the plant is covered in small hairs. It is an important part of an ecosystem because at least 46 different species of insects visit the flower for food. Because the Arizona poppy is a plant, it carries out the process of photosynthesis. Which of the following compounds would the plant produce as products for photosynthesis?

Seeds and carbon dioxide

Glucose and oxygen

Carbon dioxide and glucose

Seeds and fruit

The Arizona poppy is a plant that is native to the Southwestern United States. Its orange flower blooms in the summer and the plant is covered in small hairs. It is an important part of an ecosystem because at least 46 different species of insects visit the flower for food. As an Arizona poppy plant carries out photosynthesis, which of the following would not occur during stage 1 of the process?

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight

Oxygen is released as a waste product

Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen

Carbon dioxide is used to make glucose

All living things need energy to survive. The most common source of energy for organisms is glucose molecules, which are used as food. A plant’s food is no exception. Where do plants get the carbon needed to make glucose molecules during the process of photosynthesis?

From the ground

From the air

From the water

From the Sun

When you are working to hard to perform cellular respiration, what happens?

Your body converts oxygen to lactic acid and releases energy

Your body converts carbon dioxide to lactic acid and releases energy

Your body converts glucose to lactic acid and releases energy

Your body shuts down

Which organism uses cellular respiration?

Plants

Animals

Protists

All choices are correct

A classmate says that both matter and energy are created during photosynthesis and respiration. Is this true?

True

False

All animals use what process to obtain energy from food?

Photosynthesis

Cellular respiration

Muscle contractions

Chemosynthesis

While cellular respiration begins in the cytoplasm, it continues in what organelle?

Ribosome

Chloroplast

Lysosome

Mitochondrion

Waste products of cellular respiration are:

Oxygen and water

Carbon dioxide and water

Carbon and water

Oxygen and simple sugars

How is lactic acid fermentation different from the process of cellular respiration that usually takes place in our cells?

Fermentation does not produce carbon dioxide

Fermentation does not take place in human cells

Fermentation produces more energy than respiration

Fermentation does not require oxygen

Callie did a lab during which she investigated the difference in cellular respiration rates between two different types of corn: germinating and non-germinating. A germinating seed is one from which a plant has started to grow. A non-germinating seed is usually dry and a new plant has not yet emerged. The data that she gathered are displayed in the graph. Which of the following statements are true concerning the data that Callie gathered during the lab? Choose the statement that applies.

The germinating corn seed consumed more oxygen than the non-germinating corn seed

The non-germinating corn seed produced more carbon dioxide than the germinating corn seed.

The non-germinating corn seed performed more cellular respiration than the germinating corn seed

The non-germinating corn seed performed cellular respiration and the germinating corn seed performed fermentation.
