10) Carolyn observed a freshwater plant, Elodea, in a small aquarium filled with freshwater on
her desk. In one five-minute period, Carolyn counted 32 bubbles that formed on the
plant’s leaves and were released into the water. She then moved the aquarium from her
desk to a sunlit window and observed the Elodea again. In a second five-minute period,
Carolyn observed 194 bubbles form and be released by the Elodea into the water.
a. Describe how the bubbles released by the Elodea signify that the plant is cycling
matter. Provide evidence to support your answer.
b. Explain why the number of gas bubbles produced by the Elodea in a five-minute period
increased when the aquarium was moved from the desk to the sunlit window.

Correct Answer
Answers may vary.
Explanation
a. The bubbles released by the Elodea signify the cycling of matter because the bubbles are
oxygen that is released when the plant is conducting The plant takes in carbon dioxide and
water and, in the presence of sunlight, produces sugar and oxygen. The oxygen is released
as a waste product into the water. The carbon in the carbon dioxide is used to make the
sugar in the plant. The plant uses sugar as a source of energy. The increase in bubbles
when the plant is near light provides evidence for this claim.
b. The number of gas bubbles released in a five-minute period increased when there was
more sunlight because the sun provides the solar energy that powers photosynthesis. The
more sunlight, the more energy is available for photosynthesis and the more waste oxygen
is released into the water as bubbles.
11) The diagram illustrates plants and two different zones of a deep lake.
In the upper part of the photic zone, organisms carry out both photosynthesis and cellular
respiration. Deep in the aphotic zone, only cellular respiration occurs.
Which statement is the most likely reason photosynthesis does not occur in the deepest
aphotic zone?
A) Sunlight for photosynthesis does not reach the deepest aphotic zone.
Rationale: The light intensity in the water generally decreases because of particles
and even algae in the water blocking the light. This reduces the ability of plant life
and algae to carry out photosynthesis.
B) Water pressure limits the survival of animals in the deepest aphotic zone.
Rationale: Many animals can survive intense water pressure and animals do not
perform photosynthesis.
C) Not enough soil is present to support plant growth in the deepest aphotic zone.
Rationale: Sunlight, not soil, is the limiting factor in the aphotic zone.
D) Not as much dissolved oxygen from the surface reaches the deepest aphotic
zone.
Rationale: While this may be true, it would not interfere with photosynthesis.
Correct Answer
A) Sunlight for photosynthesis does not reach the deepest aphotic zone.

12) The diagram shows a partial model for respiration in the human body.
a. Identify the two missing parts of this model.

Lesson Check: Flow of Energy





11) This food web that shows the interaction of the organisms in an ecosystem.
a. Complete the table by matching the numbers with the organisms in the food web to
show the interaction in the ecosystem.

b. Describe the cycling of matter and the flow of energy within the ecosystem.
Correct Answer
Answers may vary.
Explanation
a. 1 - frog, 2 - snake, 3 - cricket, 4 - grass, 5 - soil bacteria

b. Matter is recycled and energy flows one way, starting with input from the Sun.
Cycling of matter: The matter recycles among the producer (grass), consumers (cricket, frog, and
snake), and decomposers (soil bacteria). The grass uses molecules from the air and soil (carbon
dioxide, water) to get the matter to make the sugar The cricket eats the grass, the frog eats the
cricket, and the snake eats the frog. Each animal gets matter [carbon compounds] to make the
molecules they need from their food. When all these organisms die, the soil bacteria
(decomposers) break down the carbon compounds from the organisms’ bodies and so this matter
becomes available for use by other organisms.
Flow of energy: The grass (producer) absorbs energy from the Sun and stores this energy within
sugars [complex carbon compounds]. When the cricket eats the grass, the frog eats the cricket,
and the snake eats the frog, each animal gets energy for life processes by breaking down food
molecules. The grass, the cricket, the frog, and the snake all release energy as heat. When all these
organisms die, the soil bacteria (decomposers) break down the carbon compounds in the
organisms’ bodies to get energy for life processes. The soil bacteria (decomposers) also release
heat as they use energy. The heat is not available to organisms in the ecosystem to use again
for energy. This is why continual energy input from the Sun is necessary for the organisms in the
ecosystem to live.

Lesson Check: Cycling of Matter




10) Describe the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the carbon cycle. Then
identify and describe the role these processes play in one other cycle of matter.
Correct Answer
Answers may vary.
Explanation
During photosynthesis carbon is removed from the atmosphere; during cellular respiration
carbon is released into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration also play a
