About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers photosynthesis and cellular respiration, the fundamental energy-processing mechanisms in living organisms, designed for 7th grade middle school students. The questions assess students' understanding of the cellular structures involved (chloroplasts and mitochondria), the chemical inputs and outputs of both processes, and the critical relationship between these complementary biological pathways. Students need to demonstrate knowledge of glucose as the primary energy storage molecule, the role of chlorophyll in capturing light energy, and the gas exchange that occurs during photosynthesis (consuming carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen). The quiz also tests understanding of autotrophs versus heterotrophs and requires students to recognize that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes where the products of one serve as the reactants for the other. The complexity level appropriately challenges 7th graders to connect molecular-level processes with their broader ecological significance. Created by Kelli Sweat, a Science teacher in the US who teaches grade 7. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student comprehension before moving to more advanced topics in cellular biology and ecology. Teachers can deploy this as a pre-lesson diagnostic to identify knowledge gaps, use it during instruction to reinforce key concepts, or assign it as homework to solidify learning after direct instruction. The variety of question formats—from basic recall of organelles and molecules to higher-order thinking about process relationships and ecological impacts—makes it versatile for differentiated instruction and review sessions. This assessment aligns with NGSS standards MS-LS1-5 (constructing explanations for how plants use photosynthesis to transform matter and energy) and supports the foundational understanding students need for MS-LS2-3 (developing models of matter cycling and energy flow in ecosystems).
