Topic 8 Lesson 1 Energy in Food Quiz

Katie makes a claim that plants store most of the energy they get from the sun as food that humans can eat. Maya tests this claim using three kinds of plants that produce food. She grows each type of plant in a garden.

Once the fruit or vegetables are produced, she removes the plants from the garden. She measures the total mass of the plant. Then she measures the mass of the fruit or vegetable produced. The table shows the results of her investigation.

Based on the evidence Maya collected, which statement is true?

• The plants store very little energy in the fruit. Most of the energy is stored in the leaves and stems.

• The plants store all the energy in the leaves and stems.

• The plants store half of the energy in the fruits and vegetables and half in the leaves and stems of the plants.

• The plants store most of the energy in the fruits and vegetables produced.
