Ecology Unit Test Review

The capturing of radiant energy, which then reacts with CO2 and H2O to produce energy rich molecules and oxygen is:

• respiration

• photosynthesis

• nitrogen fixation

• combustion

Which part of the plant will capture radiant energy to carry out the process of photosynthesis?

• chlorophyll

• chloroplast

• nucleus

• mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

Bubbles forming beside an aquatic plant is observed. Knowing the plant undergoes photosynthesis, what do the bubbles prove?

• oxygen is formed and released during photosynthesis

• photosynthesis increases the temperature of the plant causing the water to boil

• photosynthesis produces glucose that gets changed to oxygen in water

• the capturing of CO2 in the plant causes bubbles to form

Glucose and oxygen react to form energy, CO2, and water. The CO2 is released as energy is used by the organism. This describes:

• infiltration

• carbon cycle

• photosynthesis

• respiration

All of the following are produced during respiration EXCEPT:

• Oxygen

• ATP (energy)

• Water

• CO2

Mitochondria is where:

• precipitation forms

• cellular respiration occurs

• photosynthesis occurs

• atmospheric nitrogen is changed to nitrates

During photosynthesis, oxygen exits the plant as CO2 enters the plant. This occurs in the leaves. This "swapping" is known as a:

• gas exchange

• elemental breakdown

• oxidation

• compound transfer

Carbon being converted into proteins and energy occurs because of this cycle:

• magnesium

• water

• carbon

• nitrogen

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The chloroplast is where this process occurs:

• photosynthesis

• cellular respiration

• nitrogen fixation

• oxidation

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

During photosynthesis, an energy rich compound known as glucose is produced. This gas is also produced and released by the plant.

• nitrogen

• carbon dioxide

• carbon

• oxygen
