About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers photosynthesis and cellular respiration for 7th grade life science students. The questions assess fundamental concepts including the identification of reactants and products for both processes, the role of chloroplasts and mitochondria as key organelles, and the chemical equations that represent these vital biological processes. Students need to understand that photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration breaks down glucose and oxygen to produce ATP energy, carbon dioxide, and water in mitochondria. The quiz also tests classification skills by distinguishing between autotrophs and heterotrophs, and introduces the concept of fermentation as anaerobic respiration. Students must grasp the complementary relationship between these processes and recognize that plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, while animals only perform cellular respiration. Created by Shourya V, a Science teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, allowing teachers to gauge student understanding of these interconnected biological processes before moving to more advanced topics. The variety of question formats—from basic identification to equation analysis and scenario-based problems—makes it versatile for use as a review activity, homework assignment, or unit assessment. Teachers can use this quiz to identify misconceptions about where these processes occur, what materials are needed, and how energy flows through living systems. The content aligns with NGSS standards 5-PS3-1 and MS-LS1-7, which focus on energy transfer in organisms and the cycling of matter and energy in living systems.
