They work together as open systems to cycle matter through ecosystems.
B
They work independently as closed systems to cycle matter through ecosystems.
C
They work together as open systems to move matter to living and nonliving parts of Earth.

Which statement best compares the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle?

A
Both cycle water from Earth's surface to the atmosphere.
B
Both involve the work of decomposers.
C
Both release oxygen as a waste product.
D
Both require fixation in order to convert molecules.
4

Why is the Calvin cycle considered a dark reaction?

A
It occurs only at night.
B
It requires an absence of light.
C
It turns the plant dark green.
D
It can proceed in the dark.
5

Producers and consumers release carbon dioxide as waste during which process of the carbon cycle?

A
photosynthesis
B
respiration
C
condensation
D
fixation
6

Actinobacteria sp. are organisms called chemoorganohetereotrophs. They do not use oxygen to breathe. They break down organic material and convert it to inorganic material.Which part of the carbon cycle does this describe?

A
photosynthesis
B
respiration
C
decomposition
D
assimilation
7

Which of the following is an inference?

A
A burning candle is extinguished when it is covered with a jar.
B
The candle burns longer than expected in a jar that has a plant in it.
C
A plant lives longer than expected in a jar that has a burning candle.
D
There is more oxygen in the jar because there is a plant in it.
8

Which question can be answered by following the scientific method?

A
What was the highest temperature that was recorded yesterday?
B
What is the most interesting aspect of the light-dependent reactions?
C
How does a change in temperature affect the stomata of a plant?
D
How many stomata are there on this leaf?
9

Which term identifies a light-absorbing pigment?

A
photosystem
B
ferredoxin
C
thylakoid
D
chlorophyll
10

Which statement best describes the process of chemiosmosis and the direct result of its occurrence?

A
Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ADP is converted to ATP.
B
Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ATP is converted to ADP.
C
Hydrogen ions flow from the stroma down a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the thylakoid. ADP is converted to ATP.
D
Hydrogen ions flow from the thylakoid against a concentration gradient through ATP synthase channels into the stroma. ADP is converted to ATP.
11

Which statement best distinguishes the light-dependent (L-D) reactions from the light-independent (L-IND) reactions?

A
The L-D reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane, and the L-IND reactions occur in the stroma.
B
The L-D reactions occur in the cytoplasm, and the L-IND reactions occur in the chloroplast.
C
The L-D reactions occur in the chloroplast, and the L-IND reactions occur in the mitochondria.
D
The L-D reactions occur in the stroma, and the L-IND reactions occur in the cytoplasm.
12

What is carbon fixation, and how does it relate to photosynthesis?

A
It is the absorption of CO2 from the air, and it occurs during the light-dependent reactions.
B
It is the reduction of CO2, and it occurs during the Calvin cycle.
C
It is the conversion of CO2 into organic compounds, and it forms 3-PGA.
D
It is the production of CO2 during regeneration, and it forms RuBP.
