Aiden, Benjamin, and Abigail are on a quest to discover what an organism needs to undergo photosynthesis. Can you help them figure it out?

• Is it oxygen that the organism needs?

• Or does it need glucose?

• Could it be light energy?

• Or is it chemical energy?

Imagine Oliver, Emma, and Mia are on a wild adventure in the jungle. They come across a strange animal. Which of the following could this animal do to obtain a substance needed for cellular respiration?

• Feast on the delicious fruits of the jungle

• Drink from a crystal clear stream

• Exhale oxygen while running from a predator

• Bask in the warm sunlight filtering through the trees

Imagine William, Charlotte, and Kai are on a thrilling adventure in a magical forest. They stumble upon a mysterious image carved on a tree, which turns out to be the carbon cycle. Can you help them figure out which letter represents carbon being released through cellular respiration?

• C

• D

• E

• G

Imagine Jackson, Zoe, and Elijah are on a mission to Mars. They are studying the carbon cycle and need to know which processes would add carbon to the Mars atmosphere. Can you help them?

• evaporation and decomposition

• photosynthesis and combustion

• cellular respiration and combustion

• photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Imagine this, Isla, Anika, and James are on a space mission. They brought a plant with them and somehow all the oxygen in their spaceship got depleted for a week. What do you think would happen to the plant in such a situation?

• The plant would start a party and photosynthesis would increase.

• The plant would feel a bit under the weather and photosynthesis would decrease.

• The plant would start working out and cellular respiration would increase.

• The plant would take a nap and cellular respiration would decrease.

Imagine this, Jackson, Henry, and Luna are having a science debate. They are discussing about cellular respiration. Jackson claims that if an organism starts with 6 grams of material, the same amount of material will be produced, based on the Law of Conservation of Mass. Is Jackson correct?

• No, 0 grams will be produced

• Yes, 6 grams will be produced

• No, 12 grams will be produced

• No, 18 grams will be produced

Imagine Jackson, Arjun, and Nora are tiny scientists exploring a cell! They come across a process and wonder, 'How does this process of cellular respiration follow the Law of Conservation of Energy?' What would you tell them?

• 'The energy that goes into the process of cellular respiration is lost to create new substances.'

• 'The total amount of energy needed to complete the process of cellular respiration remains the same.'

• 'The total amount of energy needed to complete the process of cellular respiration decreases over time.'

• 'The energy that goes into the process of cellular respiration is used up to create new energy that is stored in the new substances.'

Imagine this: Zoe, Daniel, and Arjun are high-level athletes. After an intense workout, they start their "cool down" routine. They slow down their actions, breathe deeply, and munch on a snack. Can you guess why this routine speeds up their recovery process?

• By breathing deeply, they release more carbon dioxide, which kickstarts the energy production process in their cells.

• Through this cool down routine, they take in oxygen and sugar. This allows their cells to produce energy through cellular respiration.

• By cooling down, they take in carbon dioxide and water. This enables their cells to produce energy through cellular respiration.

• When they snack, they take in energy which converts to sugar. This sugar is needed by the body to produce oxygen for their muscles to begin cellular respiration.
