1. Select the correct terms from the drop down boxes.(2 points)
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both take part in the carbon cycle.
Carbon dioxide is a in photosynthesis and a in cellular respiration.
Glucose (sugar) is a in photosynthesis and a in cellular respiration.
Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis and a product in cellular respiration.
Glucose (sugar) is a product in photosynthesis and a reactant in cellular respiration.
2. A student is completing an experiment comparing plants in two areas. Both areas have the same type of plants with equal sunlight and equal available water.
Consider how the following changes might affect the photosynthesis rate for the plants in area 2.
a. What would happen if the student reduced the amount of carbon dioxide available for plants in area 2?
(1 point)
Responses
The plants in area 2 would have a lower rate of photosynthesis than the plants in area 1.
The plants in area 2 would have a faster rate of photosynthesis than the plants in area 1.
The plants would both experience a reduced rate of photosynthesis.
The plants would have the same rate of photosynthesis.
Question 2
b. What would happen if the student increased the carbon dioxide available for the plants in area 2?(1 point)
Responses
The plants in area 2 would photosynthesize faster than the plants in area 1.
The plants in area 2 would photosynthesize slower than the plants in area 1.
The plants in area 2 would stop photosynthesizing.
The plants in area 1 would stop photosynthesizing.
a. The plants in area 2 would have a lower rate of photosynthesis than the plants in area 1.
b. The plants in area 2 would photosynthesize faster than the plants in area 1.
To select the correct terms from the drop-down boxes, we need to understand the role of carbon dioxide and glucose in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
1. In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide as a reactant to produce glucose. On the other hand, in cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product when glucose is broken down.
2. Glucose, also known as sugar, is a product of photosynthesis. It is an energy-rich molecule that serves as fuel for cellular respiration, where it is broken down into carbon dioxide and water to release energy.
Based on this information, let's fill in the correct terms in the drop-down boxes:
Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis and a waste product in cellular respiration.
Glucose (sugar) is a product in photosynthesis and a fuel in cellular respiration.
