1. There is a relationship between the products of photosynthesis and the

reactants of cellular respiration. Which of the following statements best
describes this relationship?
A. The products of photosynthesis do not allow the reactants in cellular
respiration to occur in the presence of sunlight.
B. The products of cellular respiration cause a change in the reactants of
photosynthesis.
C. The products of photosynthesis become the reactants of cellular respiration.
D. The products of photosynthesis cause the products of cellular respiration to
shut down.
2. You are looking through a microscope at a cell. You see that the cell is square
in shape, has large saclike structures inside, and contains green objects
throughout. What type of cell are you observing?
A. Bacteria
B. Fungi
C. Plant
D. Animal
3. All the following are steps of photosynthesis EXEPT.
A. Chlorophyll is absorbed through plant roots
B. During Photosynthesis a photon of light is absorbed by the chlorophyll
pigment, which then is in an excited (higher energy) state.
C. Water is separate into hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
D. An ADP molecule is phosphorylated to ATP.

Use the following passage for Questions 4

Fish health in ponds depends on dissolved oxygen mostly produced through
the process of photosynthesis by phytoplankton (microscopic plant).

Sunlight
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide Water Nutrients Carbohydrate Oxygen

The equation above illustrates the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis

occurs during the day producing oxygen. At night the process of respiration occurs in
the phytoplankton, represented by the equation below. It uses dissolved oxygen and
produces carbon dioxide.

Sunlight
6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
Oxygen Carbohydrate Nutrients Carbon dioxide Water

4. The following graph shows the pattern of dissolved oxygen in the pond over a
24-hour period due to the photosynthetic and respiration processes. Think
about how you would complete the last points on the graph for the hours of
21:00 and 00:00 (midnight) on day 2.

The point on the graph would

A. go a lot higher?
B. drop quite a bit?
C. go up a little?
D. drop a bit?
Use the following information for Questions 5
Bacteria can be classified by whether they need oxygen to live.
Aerobic bacteria an survive only in places where oxygen in plentiful.
Anaerobic bacteria are found only where oxygen is limited or entirely absent.
Facultative anaerobic can survive with or without oxygen.
5. In which place would aerobic bacteria be able to survive?
A. In fermenting wine
B. In the upper atmosphere
C. In infected human lungs
D. Inside a rotten piece of wood

Use the following information for Questions 6 – 7

A plant capture light energy and use it to produce glucose. The reaction for
this process is:

Sunlight
6CO2 + 6H2O 6O2 + C6H12O6
The glucose produced can then be store in the plant as starch. A rabbit then consumes
the plant and uses the starch from the plant as energy. After eating the plants, the
rabbit is preyed upon by an eagle. The eagle takes the rabbit’s carcass to it nest to
feed both itself and its offspring.
6. The reaction shown in the passage is best described as
A. Cellular respiration
B. A food chain
C. Photosynthesis
D. ATP synthesis
7. A reaction that most likely to occur within the rabbit, the eagle, and the eagle’s
offspring is
A. Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O 6O2 + C6H12O6
B. 6CO2 + 6H2O 6O2 + C6H12O6 + Heat Energy
8. The oxygen produced by the reaction in the passage can then be utilized by
A. An anaerobic organism
B. An aerobic organism
C. Both an anaerobic organism and aerobic organism
D. Neither an anaerobic nor an aerobic organism
