About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers photosynthesis and cellular respiration, two fundamental processes in biology that are essential for understanding energy flow in living systems. The content is appropriate for grades 9-12, with questions ranging from basic concept identification to detailed biochemical pathway analysis. Students need a solid foundation in chemical equations, cellular organelles, and metabolic processes to succeed on this assessment. The quiz systematically examines photosynthesis components including reactants, products, organelles, and the distinction between light-dependent and light-independent reactions, then transitions to cellular respiration with detailed coverage of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Advanced topics such as ATP synthase function, NADH and FADH₂ production, and the specific locations of biochemical reactions within chloroplasts and mitochondria require students to demonstrate both memorization of facts and conceptual understanding of how these processes interconnect to sustain life. Created by Katrina J Mcgrady, a Biology teacher in US who teaches grade 9-12. This comprehensive review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, from formative assessment during a unit on cellular energetics to summative review before major exams. Teachers can deploy this assessment as a pre-test to gauge student readiness, use individual sections for targeted practice on specific topics like glycolysis or the Calvin cycle, or assign it as homework to reinforce classroom instruction. The quiz format makes it ideal for bell-ringer activities, station rotations, or interactive review games that engage students in active recall of complex biochemical processes. The content aligns with key high school biology standards including NGSS HS-LS1-5 (photosynthesis and cellular respiration modeling) and HS-LS1-7 (cellular respiration processes), while also supporting Common Core mathematical practices through chemical equation analysis and quantitative reasoning about ATP production and molecular yields.
