5.
What is cellular respiration?
a)
A way to release carbon in organisms.
b)

The chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells

c)
When decomposers are able to release carbon found in dead matter, making it available to the ecosystem.
d)
In cell parts called the mitochondria, glucose (an energy storage molecule) plus oxygen combine to make carbon dioxide plus water, releasing energy.

(Read page G1) Producers are the only organisms that can perform _____________.
a)
cellular respiration

photosynthesis
c)
the carbon cycle
13.
Do trees like the Mulberry Tree take in or give off more carbon?
a)
Mulberry trees must take in more carbon from carbon dioxide during photosynthesis than they release through cellular respiration.
b)
Mulberry trees must give off more carbon in the form of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and they also release it through cellular respiration.
