How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration transform energy for use by organisms?
What roles do enzymes play in regulating energy flow and chemical reactions?
How do energy and matter move through food chains and biogeochemical cycles?

Explain how Enzymes Work
Enzymes are reusable proteins that speed up chemical reactions by
lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to start
Enzymes are SPECIFIC to one reaction, as its active site only fits one substrate.
27
Multiple Choice
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Why is a specific enzyme, like lactase, unable to break down a different sugar, like sucrose?
The enzyme is used up after one reaction and cannot be used again.
The active site of the enzyme changes shape to fit any substrate.
The shape of the enzyme's active site is specific and only fits the shape of lactose.
Enzymes only work at very high temperatures which destroys sucrose.

Consumption - Animals eat plants, gaining nitrogen - Biotic > Biotic
Nitrogen OUT of Living Things
Decomposition - Decomposers break down dead organisms and waste → release ammonia into soil - Biotic → Abiotic

Atmospheric nitrogen has to be combined with other elements, or fixed, in order to be used by plants.
Lightning is one way that nitrogen is fixed. When lightning occurs, the extreme heat breaks the bonds in nitrogen molecules, allowing nitrogen to combine with oxygen and form nitrogen oxides.

It is moved by the wind toward dry areas.
It is incorporated into the exoskeletons of flying insects that eat plants.
It is inhaled and exhaled by birds roosting in trees during rainstorms.
It is carried by rain to the soil.

Phosphorus Cycle
Phosphorus OUT of Abiotic Sources
Weathering - Rain and wind break down rocks → release phosphate (PO₄³⁻) into soil and water
Abiotic → Abiotic
Phosphorus INTO Living Things
Absorption / Assimilation - Plants absorb phosphate from soil through roots - Abiotic → Biotic
Consumption - Animals eat plants → phosphorus moves up the food chain - Biotic → Biotic
Animals drink water with dissolved phosphate in it
Phosphorus OUT of Living Things
Decomposition - Decomposers break down dead plants/animals → return phosphorus to soil or sediments - Biotic → Abiotic
Phosphorus INTO Abiotic Sources
Sedimentation - In water, phosphate settles and forms new rock layers over time
123
Multiple Choice
Analyze the diagram.
What is the role of weathering of rocks in the phosphorus cycle?
It allows phosphorus to cycle between the atmosphere and organisms
It transforms phosphorus into nitrogen for plant uptake
It releases phosphate into the soil where it becomes available to plants
It stores phosphate in the form of fossil fuels for long-term energy use
124
Multiple Choice
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for living organisms, often absorbed by plants from the soil in the form of phosphate. Some soil bacteria help break down organic material to release phosphorus into forms that plants can use.
How would increased use of antifungal or antibacterial chemicals in agriculture most likely affect the phosphorus cycle?
By decreasing the breakdown of organic material, leading to lower phosphate availability for plants
By speeding up rock weathering and increasing phosphate levels in groundwater
By eliminating the need for decomposers in releasing phosphorus from rocks
By causing phosphorus to cycle more rapidly between the biosphere and the geosphere

Multiple Choice
Analyze the diagram.
Based on the diagram, which component is a direct result of abiotic and biotic interactions in the phosphorus cycle?
Phosphate in animal tissues
Phosphate released by weathered rocks
Phosphate in decomposers
Phosphate absorbed by plant roots

127
Carbon Cycle
Carbon OUT of the Atmosphere
Photosynthesis - plants convert CO₂ in the air into glucose - biotic > abiotic
Oceans absorb CO₂ from the air
Carbon INTO the Atmosphere
Respiration - all organisms convert glucose into CO₂ in the air - biotic > abiotic
Burning Fossil Fuels adds more CO₂ to the air
Decomposition adds more CO₂ to the air - biotic > abiotic
Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb CO₂
Consumption - animals eating moves carbon through the food web - biotic > biotic

Based on the trends in the graph, which statement best explains the cellular process occurring between minute 2 and minute 5?
he muscle cells had sufficient oxygen and produced large amounts of ATP through the Krebs cycle.
The muscle cells ran out of glucose and began breaking down lipids for energy.
The muscle cells experienced an oxygen deficit and switched to anaerobic respiration to produce ATP.
The muscle cells stopped producing ATP entirely, causing the lactic acid to accumulate as a waste product.

A biologist is studying two species of single-celled organisms, P. aurelia and P. caudatum, in a controlled lab environment.
Experiment 1: Each species is grown in a separate test tube with unlimited food. Both populations grow rapidly and then level off.
Experiment 2: Both species are grown together in the same test tube with a limited food supply. The population of P. aurelia increases, while the population of P. caudatum declines to zero.
Which conclusion is best supported by the results of Experiment 2?
P. caudatum evolved into a new species to avoid competition.
The two species entered a mutualistic relationship to share the food source.
The carrying capacity of the test tube increased, allowing P. aurelia to grow larger than it did in Experiment 1.
P. aurelia outcompeted P. caudatum for the limited resources, leading to the competitive exclusion of P. caudatum.
