Which statement accurately describes the energy needs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

• Solar energy is needed for cellular respiration but not for photosynthesis.

• Chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

• Chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for photosynthesis, and solar energy is needed for cellular respiration.

• Solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, and chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for cellular respiration.

What would happen within the nitrogen cycle if a bactericide, a substance that kills bacteria, was added to the soil?

• The rate at which nitrogen is broken down would increase, resulting in faster absorption by plants.

• Microorganisms would not be present to break down the nitrogen into a usable form for plants.

• More nutrients would be added to the soil, increasing the amount of nitrogen available to plants.

• Nitrogen would be blocked from entering the soil, making it unavailable for plants to use.

When sawdust is added to soil, organisms in the soil will use all the available nitrogen to break the sawdust down. What effect will the lack of nitrogen have on the plants that are near the sawdust?

• The plants will not be able to grow.

• The plants will grow faster than before.

• The plants will be replaced with new plants.

• The plants will evolve to no longer need nitrogen.
