T
They use sugar and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water.
T
They use chlorophyll and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water.
T
They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugars.

4

least likely

i
if her results support her hypothesis
i
if her data do not support her hypothesis
i
if no conclusions can be drawn from the data
i
if results are the same after repeating the procedure

Which is an example of why the process of photosynthesis is important to life on Earth?

G
Grass uses photosynthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth.
F
Fungi use photosynthesis to decompose dead and decaying plant matter.
E
Ectothermic animals use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy for cell functions.
G
Green plants use photosynthesis to remove oxygen gas from the atmosphere and replenish the earth’s carbon dioxide.

best

s
surrounds the grana and keeps them moist
e
enables the light-dependent reactions to occur
c
combines carbon dioxide and water to make sugar
h
helps the light-independent reactions to occur
7

l
light energy
c
carbon dioxide
c
chlorophyll
w
water

Question illustration
6
6O12H6C
6
6C12H6O
O
O6H12C6
C
C6H12O6
9

How are the products represented in the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

O
O2 + 6CO2
C
C6H12O6 + 6H2O
6
6CO2 + 6H2O
C
C6H12O6 + 6O2
10

How are the reactants represented in the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

6
6CO2 + O2
6
6CO2 + 6H2O
C
C6H12O6 + 6O2
C
C6H12O6 + 6H2O
11

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

A
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.
B
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be used for cell functions.
C
The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose and oxygen molecules.
D
The process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of energy stored in the bonds of glucose.

Johannes wants to know whether soil, water, or both are needed for plant growth. He chooses to conduct experiments on a willow tree for five years to answer his question. How can his experimental methods be changed to improve his experiment?

A
He needs to ask scientists what they think.
B
He needs to conduct the experiment for a longer period.
C
He needs to use a larger sample size.
D
He needs to test more factors in the environment.
