a)

A.   Oxygen is produced during cellular respiration and stored during photosynthesis.

b)

A.   Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.

c)

A.   Photosynthesis releases the energy that is stored during the process of cellular respiration.

d)

A.   Glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce food that is broken down during photosynthesis.

4.

A diagram representing the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is shown below.

The numbered boxes in the diagram represent which of the following?

a)

1 - water, 2 - nitrogen

b)

1-nitrogen, 2-oxygen

c)

1-oxygen, 2-carbon dioxide

d)

1-cabon dioxide, 2-water

5.

Two test tubes were filled with a solution of bromothymol blue. A student exhaled through a straw into each tube, and the bromothymol blue turned yellow. An aquatic green plant was placed into each tube, and the tubes were corked. One tube was placed in the dark, and one was placed in direct sunlight. The yellow solution in the tube in sunlight turned blue, while the one in the dark remained yellow. Which statement best explains why the solution in the tube placed in sunlight returned to a blue color?

a)

A.    Oxygen was produced by photosynthesis.

b)

A.    Carbon dioxide was removed by photosynthesis.

c)

A.     Carbon dioxide was produced by respiration.

d)

A.     Oxygen was removed by respiration.

6.

The diagram below shows the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration and the organelles in which they occur.

Which statement describes how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interrelated?

a)

Oxygen is produced during cellular respiration and stored during photosynthesis.

b)

Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.

c)

Photosynthesis releases the energy that is stored during the process of cellular respiration.

d)

Glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce food that is broken down during photosynthesis.

7.

Which of the following diagrams accurately represents the use of gases in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

a)
b)
c)
d)
8.

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

a)

hydrogen

b)

oxygen

c)

carbon

d)

carbon dioxide

9.

A potted plant is placed inside a clear, sealed vacuum container that has water pumped into it on a regular basis. The container is placed in the sun and the plant’s growth is monitored. Which statement best describes what will most likely happen to the plant over time?

a)

A.    The plant will grow faster because it is sheltered from the wind.

b)

A.    The plant will die because it does not have oxygen for photosynthesis.

c)

A.    The plant will die because it does not have carbon dioxide for photosynthesis

d)

A.    The plant will grow at a slower rate because it requires more water.

10.

Mike has four aquatic plants of the same size and the same species. He submerges the plants in a separate beaker filled with 200 ml of water. He then sets each beaker under a different intensity of light. Mike observes that, of the four plants, the plant in the beaker under the most intense light gives off the most gas bubbles in a 20-minute period.

Which of the following statements best explains Mike’s observations?

a)

A.    Cells decompose most quickly under the most intense light.

b)

A.    Water evaporates from plants faster under the most intense light.

c)

A.    Photosynthesis occurs at the highest rate under the most intense light.

d)

A.    Gases in the leaves of plants expand most under the most intense light

11.

Which of the following are the reactants of photosynthesis?

a)

water and glucose

b)

carbon dioxide and glucose

c)

carbon dioxide and water

d)

oxygen and water

12.

Which process takes place in the presence of oxygen and produces nearly 20 times as much as ATP as glycolysis alone?

a)

photosynthesis

b)

lactic acid fermentation

c)

aerobic respiration

d)

alcoholic fermentation

13.

If a plant died from lack of food, which structure is most likely missing or damaged?

a)

flower

b)

17.

A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition. Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles. Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles of the weightlifter as he competes in his event?

a)

As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

b)

As the cells run out of oxygen, they die off gradually and the weightlifter's muscles have fewer contracting muscle cells.

c)

The cells will never run out of oxygen if the weightlifter is breathing.

d)

As the cells run out of oxygen, they will continue to make the same amount of ATP, since oxygen is not required to make ATP.
