1.

Which substances are inorganic compounds?

a)

water and salts

b)

proteins and carbohydrates

c)

fats and oils

d)

enzymes and hormones

2.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar leaf from the same tomato plant was tested with iodine at 6:00 a.m. the next morning, the test indicated that less starch was present in this leaf than in the leaf tested the day before. This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was

a)

changed into cellulose

b)

transported out of the leaves through the stomates

c)

conducted downward toward the roots through vessels

d)

digested into simple sugars

3.

Base your answer on the chemical equation shown in the diagram and your knowledge of biology. The reaction indicated by arrow E illustrates

a)

hydrolysis

(breaking with water)

b)

dehydration synthesis

(putting something together to make a bigger molecule by removing water)

c)

photolysis

d)

aerobic respiration

4.

A sample of food containing one type of a large molecule was treated with a specific digestive enzyme. Nutrient tests performed on the resulting products showed the presence of simple sugars, only. Based on these test results, the original large molecules contained in the sample were molecules of

a)

protein

b)

glucose

c)

starch

d)

DNA

5.

Which activity occurs in the process of photosynthesis?

a)

Chemical energy from organic molecules is converted into light energy.

b)

Organic molecules are obtained from the environment.

c)

Organic molecules are converted into inorganic food molecules.

d)

Light energy is converted into the chemical energy of organic molecules.

a)

producers

b)

carnivores

c)

herbivores

d)

decomposers

7.

The diagram represents part of a life process in a leaf chloroplast. If the process illustrated in the diagram is interrupted by a chemical at point X, there would be an immediate effect on the release of

a)

chlorophyll

b)

nitrogen

c)

carbon dioxide

d)

oxygen

8.

What are the products (what is released) of cellular respiration? (Mark all of them!)

a)

oxygen

b)

glucose

c)

carbon dioxide

d)

water

ATP (energy)

9.

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are considered to be....

a)

the same equation

b)

opposites of one another

c)

unique in every way

d)

not important at all!

10.

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

a)

O2+ H2O → C6H12O6 + CO2

b)

CO2+ Light → C6H12O6 + O2

c)

CO2+ H2O+ light → C6H12O6 + O2

d)

O2 + H2O + light

-> C6H12O6 + CO2

11.

Leaves of green plants contain openings known as stomates, which are opened and closed by specialized cells allowing for gas exchange between the leaf and the outside environment. Which phrase best represents the net flow of gases involved in photosynthesis into and out of the leaf through these openings on a sunny day?

a)

water and ozone move in; carbon dioxide moves out

b)

carbon dioxide moves in; oxygen moves out

c)

oxygen moves in; nitrogen moves out

d)

carbon dioxide and oxygen move in; ozone moves out

12.

b)

They provide energy for chemical reactions.

c)

They affect the rate of chemical reactions.

d)

They denature (deform/change shape) after catalyzing a reaction.

14.
