- Q3A scientist is studying a substance that is cycled through ecosystems. Which of these substances might the scientist be studying?soilglucosenitrogencopper30s
- Q4In a diagram of a food chain, where does a producer, such as a tree, get the energy it needs to survive?from the remains of organismsfrom the airfrom the sunfrom the organisms it eats30s
- Q5What is energy?the ability to do workanything that takes up spacethe ability to conduct currentanything that has mass30s
- Q6Lamont has a dark container. He knows that the container has a mass of 2.0 g when it is empty. He cannot see inside the container. However, he is able to use a balance to determine that the container has a mass of 2.7 g. What can Lamont conclude about the container?it contains a liquidit contains energyit contains a solidit contains matter30s
- Q7As a tree grows, where does the majority of the matter come from that makes up the body of the tree?from soil and sunlightfrom air and sunlightfrom sunlight and waterfrom water and soil30s
- Q8Why is the ability to move important to animals?it helps them stay warmit helps them obtain oxygenit helps them find foodit helps them differentiate cells30s
- Q9What form of energy is stored in food?energy of motionlightenergy in molecules (chemical)heat30s
- Q10Dylan drew a diagram showing that certain organisms eat other organisms. The diagram included a caption stating that the amount of available energy decreases with each organism that is eaten. How is this explained by the law of conservation of energy?Only small amounts of energy can be destroyed at a time.Some of the energy is used for life processes.Living things change energy into matter.Some energy disappears when living things are eaten.30s
- Q11What starting materials do plants use to make food?carbon dioxide and watersoil and waterwater and oxygencarbonic acid and nitrogen30s
- Q12What are the products of photosynthesis?chlorophyll, protein, and DNAplant stems, leaves, and root systemsglucose and oxygencarbon dioxide and water30s
- Q13Why are animals important to the process of photosynthesis?Animals produce energy in the form of heat which is necessary for photosynthesis to occur.Animals eat plants, which makes space for more plants to grow.Animals digest food, which provides the starting materials for photosynthesis.Animals release carbon dioxide, which provides the starting materials for photosynthesis.30s
