B
Both occur in the chloroplast.
C
Both produce oxygen as a byproduct.
D
Both involve carbon fixation.
5

7

Which statement best distinguishes an observation from an inference?

A
An inference is likely to change based on additional observations.
B
An observation is likely to change based on additional inferences.
C
An observation involves assumptions, but an inference does not.
D
An inference involves the senses, but an observation does not.
8

What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?

A
It removes CO2 from the atmosphere during glycolysis.
B
It removes CO2 from the atmosphere during the citric acid cycle.
C

Stella wants to test the hypothesis “If carbon dioxide levels increase, the growth rate of sunflowers will increase.” She places five young sunflower plants into similar containers and sets up pumps that release different amounts of carbon dioxide into each container. She plans to measure the daily height of the plants for two weeks and graph the data. Which option would allow Stella to set up a control group for the experiment?

A
She should provide mist to each of the plants except one plant to keep the air moist and fertilize the plants.
B
She should give the plants receiving the least CO2 a little more oxygen to compensate for the difference in gases.
C
She should give all the flowers the same amount of water.
D
She should place one flower in a similar container, but not pump carbon dioxide into it.

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?

A
Heavy breathing during exercise has produced an oxygen surplus in her muscles. This oxygen is being transported to her lungs. This is a result of aerobic respiration.
B
Heavy breathing during exercise has produced a carbon dioxide surplus in her muscles. Lactate is being transported to her liver. This is a result of aerobic respiration.
C
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in carbon dioxide debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
D
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
11

Which speeds up the reaction between carbon dioxide and RuBP to restart the Calvin Cycle?

A
light energy
B
rubisco
C
3-phosphoglycerate
D
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
12

Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

A
Light energy is converted to sugars; sugars are broken down for energy.
B
Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is used to make sugar.
C
Light energy is converted to chemical energy; chemical energy is used to make sugar.
D
Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.
13

Which statement about the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis is true?

A
They occur in the thylakoids.
B
They produce ATP and NADPH.
C
They release oxygen as waste.
D
They comprise the Calvin cycle.
