I. Identify the following definitions by choosing the right term on the box below. You can use the words
twice. Note: Supply the correct answer if it is not in the word bank.
1. It is a process by which a gas turns to liquid or solid water that falls to earth by means of precipitation
ANSWER.Hydrological Cycle

2. A process by which carbon compounds are converted in the environment incorporated by carbon
dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and vice versa
ANSWER. Carbon cycle

3. This cycle described by the movement of an essential element through lithosphere, hydrosphere, and
the biosphere
ANSWER. Biochemical Cycle

4. A cytoplasmic organelle where the cellular respiration happens

ANSWER. Mitochondrion
5. It is the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide turns into sugar
ANSWER. Calvin cycle
6. What is the chemical formula for glucose
ANSWER. C₆H₁₂O₆
7. One of the resources that is potentially useful in agricultural, industrial, and even on household
ANSWER.Water Resources
8. This physical resource provides food, clothes, and other necessities fir for consumption
ANSWER.Environmental Factors
9. This principle of population growth of living organisms can increase under the ideal environmental
conditions and lack of disease
ANSWER.Biotic potential
10. This condition factors thing that are limiting the growth of a population including biotic and a-biotic
factors
ANSWER. Environmental Factors
11. This is the process of oxidizing molecules like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water
ANSWWER.Cellular Respiration
12. What do you call a process which water is converted to oxygen as part of photosynthesis?
ANSWER.Calvin cycle
13. What do you call a process done by autotrophs which makes their own food?
ANSWER.photosynthesis
14. A first phase of cellular respiration where glucose catalyze into two 3-carbon molecules called
pyruvate
ANSWER.Glycolysis
15. It is the enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrate by way of phosphate derivatives with the production of
pyruvic acid
ANSWER.Glycolos
16. What do you call a cycle which describes the use, movement, and recycling of nutrients in the
environment?
ANSWER. Nutrient Cycle
17. This cycle is the collection of process by which this element moves from rocks, waterways and living
systems
ANSWER. Biochemical Cycle
18. This process describes the circulation of water between earth’s oceans, atmosphere and on land
ANSWER.Hydrologic Cycle
19. This process in the sequential transfer of electrons especially by cytochromes in the cellular
respiration from an oxidizable substrate to molecular oxygen by a series of oxidation-reduction
reactions
ANSWER. Electron acceptor
20. This is a site where light dependent reaction occurs
ANSWER.Thylakoid membrane
21. A type of respiration which produces cellular energy involving oxygen and breaks it down in the
mitochondrion in along multi-step producing ATP
ANSWER.Cellular Respiration
22. What are the by-products of photosynthesis?
ANSWER.Water and Oxygen
23. How many ATPs are produced in a single process of cellular respiration?
ANSWER. 30-34 ATP
24. What do you call organisms that can produce food and oxygen?
ANSWER.Autotrophs
25. What is the role of oxygen in Electron transport chain?
ANSWER. Electron Transport Chain

Photosynthesis Nutrient Cycle Biochemical Cycle Biotic Respiration Hydrological

Cycle Phosphorus Cycle Electron Transport Chain Carbon Cycle
6-10 ATP Glycolysis Krebs Cycle Electron acceptor
Cellular Respiration Soil Resources Water Resources Nitrogen Cycle
Calvin Cycle Light Dependent Reaction 30-34 ATP Environmental Factors
Biotic Potential Air Resources Water and Oxygen

II. Essay
31-40. Discuss the photosynthesis and cellular respiration by using this formula (10 points)
CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + O2
ANSWER.The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular
respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: . Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H26H12O6+ 6O.

41-50. Discuss the following

• Phylogenetics and its relationship with biodiversity
ANSWER.A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny, is a diagram that depicts
the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, or genes from a
common ancestor.
• Kinds of Biodiversity
ANSWER.Biodiversity brings together the different species and forms of life (animal,
plant, entomological and other) and their variability, that is to say, their dynamics of
evolution in their ecosystems. Traditionally, there are three levels of biodiversity:
genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
• Earth’s natural resources
ANSWER.Natural resources are materials from the Earth that are used to support life
and meet people's needs. Any natural substance that humans use can be considered a
natural resource. Oil, coal, natural gas, metals, stone and sand are natural
resources. Other natural resources are air, sunlight, soil and water.
