•Jan Baptista van Helmont did an important experiment related to photosynthesis. He weighed a small willow tree and a pot of soil. Jan then planted the tree in the pot. Over the course of five years, he added only water to the pot.  At the end of five years, he took the dry weight of the tree (dry weight, excludes water) and found that it had gained 74,400 g.  He weighed the soil (dry weight), and it was only 57 g less.  

Where did the additional 74,350 grams come from?

a)

Still from the soil. Plants use nutrients in the soil to grow

b)

From the air. Oxygen is taken in through the stomata of the plant and helps the plant grow

c)

From the Glucose made by the plant during photosynthesis. Glucose is used to help the plant grow

d)

From the air. CO2 is taken in through the stomata of the plant and helps the plant grow

24.

Biosphere 2 is a research facility designed to be an artificial, closed ecosystem.  The closed nature of the biosphere allows precise monitoring of various factors like gasses and other ecosystem processes.  The graph shows the amount of carbon dioxide in Biosphere 2 over a typical 24 hour period.

What is the relationship between the time of day and the amount of carbon dioxide in the research facility?

a)

CO2 levels stay constant from 8am until 4pm because plants are exposed to sunlight during these hours

b)

CO2 levels increase from 4pm to 12am because plants are exposed to sunlight during these hours

c)

CO2 levels decrease from 8am until 4pm because plants are exposed to sunlight during these hours

25.

•One of the roles of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States (NOAA) is to monitor concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over time.  The data below is from the NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. 

•In the graph showing Recent Monthly Means, why do the levels of CO2 fluctuate across each year?  When is it higher and when is it lower?

a)

CO2 levels fluctuate across each year because we burn less fossil fuels during the winter/summer

b)

CO2 levels fluctuate across each year because CO2 levels are higher in the warmer weather

c)

CO2 levels fluctuate across each year because plants are more active in warmer months and pull Carbon out of the air to do photosynthesis

26.

•Fossil fuels are long chains of carbon that formed from the remains of dead plants about 300 million years ago during the Coal Age Carboniferous Era.  Use this information to explain the data in the graph showing carbon dioxide levels since measurements began in 1960. (choose more than 1)

a)

CO2 levels have gone up because there are fewer plants to take in CO2

b)

CO2 levels have gone up since 1960 because humans are burning more fossil fuels each year, which results in more CO2 in the atmosphere

c)

CO2 levels have gone up each year because humans have increased their dependence on plastic. Plastic is made by burning fossil fuels, which releases CO2 into the atmosphere

d)

CO2 levels have gone up because CO2 levels naturally fluctuate
