Approximately how long ago did the peat deposits in the Arctic form?

• 100 years ago

• 1,000 years ago

• 100,000 years ago

• 10,000 years ago

Why is peat more likely to form in cold, wet places?

• Decomposers cannot perform cellular respiration in cold temperatures

• Decomposers prefer low oxygen environments

• Plants grow faster in cold, wet places

• High levels of solar radiation prevent the peat from decomposing

What is released when peat burns?

• Oxygen

• Water vapor

• Carbon dioxide

• Nitrogen

What did the yeast experiments in Lesson 3 demonstrate?

• The effect of oxygen on yeast fermentation

• The effect of sugar on yeast reproduction

• The effect of light on yeast growth

• The effect of temperature on yeast respiration

What did the Elodea / BTB experiment in Lesson 4 demonstrate?

• Plants take in carbon dioxide at a lower rate than they produce it.

• Plants produce oxygen at a faster rate when kept in darkness.

• Plants do photosynthesis at a higher rate than cellular respiration in direct light.

• Plants are not able to reproduce when they are exposed to BTB solution.
