BTB was used to indicate the amount of carbon dioxide present in the test tubes. A plant was placed in each test tube. The test tube on the left was placed in the dark and the one on the right was in the light. Which of the following best explains the results?
The solution in the right test tube became more blue because the algae was doing more photosynthesis and using carbon dioxide.
The solution in the right test tube became more blue because the algae was doing more photosynthesis and producing carbon dioxide.
The solution in the right test tube became more blue because the algae was only doing cellular respiration and producing carbon dioxide.
The solution in the right test tube became more yellow because the algae was only doing cellular respiration and using carbon dioxide.
A student conducted a science experiment about how light impacts plant growth. He placed one plant in full sunlight all day, one with sunlight half of the day and one in a closet with no sunlight. The student then recorded their growth over a 5-week period. His data is listed in the data table below.
Which data analysis statement BEST describes the connection between sunlight and photosynthesis that this data table represents?
The plant in the dark closet stopped growing because the plant uses sunlight to create the particles of food energy the plant needs to grow.
The plant in the dark closet grew at the same speed as a plant in sunlight because all plants are given the same amounts of water and carbon dioxide.
The plant in the dark closet grew slower than a plant in sunlight because the dark plant would have had to pull more energy from water and carbon dioxide.
The plant in the dark closet grew faster than a plant in sunlight because processing the energy from the sun used part of the food energy the plant needed to grow.
Given the following images, what does each picture represent and how can they be arranged to accurately represent the photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycles?
The soccer player needs energy to kick the ball. He gets that energy by eating the plant. He combines the glucose from the plant with carbon dioxide to release energy during cellular respiration. His body releases oxygen during this process. The plant uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make new glucose during photosynthesis.
The soccer player needs energy to kick the ball. He gets that energy by eating the plant. Once he has eaten the plant, his body gets energy from the glucose in the food. His body releases carbon dioxide and oxygen through this cellular respiration. The plant uses the sunlight, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to make new glucose during photosynthesis.
The sun represents the light energy needed to begin photosynthesis. The plant is taking in the sun’s energy, using water and carbon dioxide to make glucose. The soccer player eats the plant to get glucose and breathes in the oxygen. Through cellular respiration, he uses the oxygen to break down the glucose to obtain the energy needed to kick the ball. He breathes out carbon dioxide and sweats out water.
