| 1903129473 | What is the ultimate source of energy for plants? | The Sun | 20 | |
| 1903129474 | What is ATP and what is its role in the cell | ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is one of the principle chemical compounds that living things use to store energy and release it for cell work to be done. | 21 | |
| 1903129475 | Describe several cellular activities that uses the energy released by ATP. | Active transport, movements within the cell, synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids, or responses to chemical signals. | 22 | |
| 1903129476 | How do autotrophs obtain energy? | Autotrophs obtain energy by making their own food | 23 | |

| 1903129478 | With respect to energy, how are ATP and glucose similar? | Both store energy for a cell | 25 | |
| 1903129479 | With respect to energy, how are ATP and glucose different? | A single molecule of glucose stores more than 90 times the chemical energy of an ATP molecule. | 26 | |
| 1903129480 | In van Helmont's experiment, most of the added mass of the tree came from | water and carbon dioxide. | 27 | |
| 1903129481 | Plants use the sugars produced in photosynthesis to make | startches | 28 | |
| 1903129482 | The raw materials required for plants to carry out photosynthesis are | carbon dioxide and water. | 29 | |
| 1903129483 | The principal pigment in plants is | chlorophyll | 30 | |
| 1903129484 | The colors of light that are absorbed by chlorophylls are | blue, violet, and red | 31 | |
| 1903129485 | What did van Helmont discover about plants? | water is involved in increasing the mass of the plant | 32 | |
| 1903129486 | What did Priestly (first bell jar experiment) discover about plants? | a plant produces the substance in air required for burning | 33 | |
| 1903129487 | What did Ingenhousz (second bell jar experiment) discover about plants? | light is necessary for plants to produce oxygen | 34 | |
| 1903129488 | Describe the process of photosynthesis, including the reactants and products. | Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy sugars | 35 | |
| 1903129489 | Why are light and chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis? | Light provides the energy to produce high-energy sugars Chlorophyll absorbs light, and the energy of that absorbed light makes photosynthesis work | 36 | |
| 1903129490 | Describe the relationship between chlorophyll and the color of plants. | Plants are green because green light is reflected by the chlorophyll in the leaves. | 37 | |
| 1903129491 | How well would a plant grow under pure yellow light? Explain your answer. | The plant would not grow well because chlorophyll does not absorb much light in the yellow region of visible light. | 38 | |
| 1903129492 | In plants, photosynthesis takes place inside the | chloroplasts | 39 | |
| 1903129493 | Energy to make ATP in the chloroplast comes most directly from: | hydrogen ions flowing through an enzyme in the thylakoid membrane. | 40 | |
| 1903129494 | NADPH is produced in light-dependent reactions and carries energy in the form of: | high-energy electrons | 41 | |
| 1903129495 | What is another name for the Calvin cycle? | light-independent reactions | 42 | |
| 1903129496 | Summarize the light-dependent reactions. | The light-dependent reactions produce oxygen gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into the electron carriers ATP and NADPH. | 43 | |
| 1903129497 | What reactions make up the Calvin cycle? | The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reaction to produce high-energy sugars. | 44 | |
| 1903129498 | How is light energy converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis? | Light energy is converted into chemical energy by the pigments in the chloroplast. | 45 | |
| 1903129499 | What is the function of NADPH? | The main function of NADPH is to carry high-energy electrons produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell. | 46 | |
| 1903129500 | Why are the light-dependent reactions important to the Calvin cycle? | The light-dependent reactions provide the Calvin cycle with ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle uses the energy in ATP and NADPH to produce high-energy sugars. | 47 |
