Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration QUIZ

Write down your answers to the quiz on a separate sheet of paper.

At the top of your paper please write "Quiz 3210.3.3"

There are 10 questions. You may use your book, but the answer is not written in your book. This will require you to think critically about our discussion today (or yesterday, thanks to block schedule) and the information you have access to regarding photosynthesis and cellular respiration. This information is imperative that you understand. If you do not understand this, please let me know and either come to tutoring or let's find a way to solve this. I am here to help you, but I can't help if I don't know you need help. You have until Thursday to turn this in. This post will be deleted Thursday night after school.

1. A plant is in a shady area of a yard. It's leaves are still green. How is the cell able to carry on photosynthesis in the lack of sunlight?
a. The plant has stored sunlight in order to carry out photosynthesis.
b. The sun has only recently gone down and so the plant cells can continue the process of photosynthesis.
c. This cell participates in an alternative pathway, either CAM or C4.
d. Both b and c are plausible answers.

2.  Photosynthesis must be triggered by a catalyst known as what in order for the process to start?
a. sunlight
b. carbon dioxide
c. oxygen
d. water

3. Cellular Respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. What happens to the water that is produced in the process of cellular respiration?
a. it is disposed of as a waste product
b. it is used by the cell 
c. both a and b are correct
d. neither a nor b are correct

4. Some of the light energy that is gathered by chlorophylls is stored in the form of what?
a. NADP
b. NADPH
c. ATP

d. CO2

5. Which of the following is not useful to the cell alone?
a. CO2
b. H2O
c. C6H12O6
d. O2

6. What is the defining characteristic that determines whether something is an aerobic or anaerobic process?
a. Where a cell processes oxygen
b. When a cell processes oxygen
c. if a cell processes oxygen
d. both a and c are correct

7. What is the total production of ATP during cellular respiration?
a. 2
b. 8
c. 31
d. 67

8. Fermentation is briefly discussed in our textbook as it relates to cellular respiration. What kind of process is cellular respiration?
a. aerobic process
b. anaerobic process
c. aerobic respiration
d. none of the above is correct.

9. Which of the following correctly lists the three goals of the Calvin Cycle, Phase 2 of photosynthesis?
a. sunlight into food, water and sugar
b. sunlight into food, split water to release O2, and make sugar
c. sunlight into chemical energy, split water to release O2, fixes CO2 into sugar
d.sunlight into chemical energy, split water to release O2, and make sugar. 

10. Cellular respiration is a vital part of our functionality as animals. Which part of the function of the animal is the most reliant on cellular respiration?
a. muscular movement
b. circulation of blood
c. ability to think and process
d. all functions of the body are equality dependent on cellular respiration
