Energy Flow

Susan has just moved into a new house. For some reason, she cannot get the grass to grow in her yard. She decides to grow small amounts of grass inside her house as part of an experiment. The first group of grass is exposed to a light intensity of 400. The second group is exposed to a light intensity of 1200.

• The plants at a light intensity of 400 will grow more quickly than the plants at 1200.

• The

  plants at a light intensity of 400 will produce more glucose than the plants

  at 1200.

• The plants at a light intensity of 1200 will perform only stage 1 of photosynthesis.

• The plants at a light intensity of 1200 will produce more oxygen than the plants at 400.

Which of the following best describes what occurs at the arrow labeled 1?

• Organisms inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

• Decaying organisms give off carbon dioxide as they decay

• Organisms and waste products become fossil fuels and store Carbon

• Dead organisms release oxygen that is used by plants in photosynthesis.

Danielle lives with her family on a farm. In school, she has been learning about the nitrogen cycle in science class. She knows that her father spread a nitrogen-based fertilizer on a patch of grass recently where the cows graze in the field. Why was it necessary to add a nitrogen-based fertilizer to the soil where there was a patch of grass?

• because nitrogen can only be "fixed" by lightening

• because plants cannot use "free" nitrogen

• because bacteria released all of the nitrogen into the air

• because there are no decomposers on the farm
