Use the figures to complete questions
below. Circle the correct word(s) to
complete the sentence.
1. This illustrate the nutrient cycle of
( carbon – water – nitrogen ).
2. The process of creating atmospheric
nitrogen is accomplished by
( ammonification – nitrogen fixation –
denitrification ).
3. Nitrogen is contributed to the soil by the processes of ( ammonification – nitrification – nitrogen fixation ).
4. What is the process that takes atmospheric nitrogen out of the air?
5. Organism ( 1 – 4 – 5 – 6 ) transforms light energy into chemical energy.
6. If a disease killed off all of organism 2, organism ( 3 – 7 – 8 – 9 ) would be
most affected.
7. Organism ( 1 – 4 – 7 – 9 ) is most likely an herbivore.
8. Organism ( 2 – 3 – 7 – 8 ) gets its energy from the most sources.
9.
During the month of ( May – March – January –
September ) the rate of photosynthesis is greatest.
10. Carbon dioxide concentration decreases starting in the
month of ( February – May – September – November ).
11. The graph for the concentration of ( water – sun light –
oxygen ) would most likely be the opposite of what’s shown
for carbon dioxide.
12. Graph A shows that the rate of photosynthesis ( increases – decreases ) in response to more light, but only to a
certain point.
13. Graph B shows that both extreme high
and low temperatures cause the rate of
photosynthesis to ( increase – decrease ).
14. Taken together, these graphs show that
the rate of photosynthesis is affected by
certain changes in ( animals - the
environment – the carbon cycle ).
15. Pigments in plants absorb ( select – all – just one ) wavelengths of light.
16. Chlorophyll b absorbs light in the (400nm – 500nm –
600nm – 700nm ) and ( 450nm – 550nm – 650nm –
750nm) wavelengths.
17. For photosynthesis, the most effective wavelengths of
light fall in the range of ( 400-500nm – 500-600nm –
600-700nm – above 700nm ).
18. The effective range is predominantly ( red/orange –
yellow/green – blue/violet – ultraviolet ) colors of the
visible light spectrum.
19. For photosynthesis, the least effective, therefore the
most reflected, of the visible colors are ( reds –
yellows – greens – blues ).
20. This color is reflected to our eyes, which is why plants
appear ( red – yellow – green – blue ) to the naked eye.
21. The products of photosynthesis are ( glucose – water –
light energy) and ( oxygen – ATP – carbon dioxide).
22. The products of cellular respiration are ( glucose –
water – light energy ), ( oxygen – ATP – chlorophyll ) and
( carbon dioxide – light energy – oxygen ).
23. Photosynthesis occurs in flat sacs in chloroplasts called
( pigments – thylakoids – carotenoids ).
24. Mitochondria exist in ( plants only – animals only –
plants and animals ).
25. In order for a plant to increase production of ( sugars –
carbon dioxide – water ) it must increase the intake of
( carbon dioxide – ATP – oxygen ).
26. ( Plants – animals – insects ) absorb and convert light
energy into chemical energy, stored in glucose.
27. ( Plants – Animals – Plants and animals ) use glucose energy to convert it into ( ATP – sugars – oxygen ).
28. All cells store energy in molecules of ( ATP – ATP synthase – hydrogen ions ) that they can make in one place and
use in another, giving the molecule the nickname “the cells’ energy currency”.
29. ( The Krebs cycle – The Calvin cycle – Glycolysis ) breaks down glucose to two pyruvates, two NADH molecules,
and four ATP molecules.
30. The process of fermentation is (aerobic – anaerobic – on-going ), creating a source of energy when oxygen
supplies run low.
