Stella wants to test the hypothesis “If carbon dioxide levels increase, the growth rate of sunflowers will increase.” She places five young sunflower plants into similar containers and sets up pumps that release different amounts of carbon dioxide into each container. She plans to measure the daily height of the plants for two weeks and graph the data. Which option would allow Stella to set up a control group for the experiment?

A
She should provide mist to each of the plants except one plant to keep the air moist and fertilize the plants.
B
She should give the plants receiving the least CO2 a little more oxygen to compensate for the difference in gases.
C
She should give all the flowers the same amount of water.
D
She should place one flower in a similar container, but not pump carbon dioxide into it.

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?

A
Heavy breathing during exercise has produced an oxygen surplus in her muscles. This oxygen is being transported to her lungs. This is a result of aerobic respiration.
B
Heavy breathing during exercise has produced a carbon dioxide surplus in her muscles. Lactate is being transported to her liver. This is a result of aerobic respiration.
C
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in carbon dioxide debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
D
Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.

At which point is G3P removed from the Calvin cycle to be used in the production of carbohydrates?

A
during photophosphorylation
B
during carbon fixation
C
immediately after reduction
D
immediately after regeneration
10

Which statement best distinguishes an observation from an inference?

A
An inference is likely to change based on additional observations.
B
An observation is likely to change based on additional inferences.
C
An observation involves assumptions, but an inference does not.
D
An inference involves the senses, but an observation does not.

A scientist is comparing the outer layer of an onion cell to the outer layer of a human skin cell. What is unique about the outer layer of the onion cell compared to the skin cell?

A
It contains proteins.

12

During photosynthesis, the energy from sunlight is used to split water molecules. What happens to the hydrogen ions that are split from the water molecules?

A
They flow out of the thylakoid, providing energy to add a phosphate group to ADP.
B
They build up in the thylakoid, providing energy to break apart ATP molecules.
C
They build up in the thylakoid, where they bond to each other to create ATP.
D
They flow out of the thylakoid, where they stimulate enzymes to break apart ATP.
