The scientific term that can be used for all "living things" is...
organism
animal
Autotrophs
Heterotrophs
Which of the following can be classified as an organism?
Sun
Mushroom
Snake

Apple Tree
Heterotroph
Autotroph
Hawk
Snake
Fly
Grass
Directly
Indirectly
A heterotroph can best be defined as...
an organism that gets its energy by eating plants
an organism that gets its energy from the water it takes in
an organism that can produce its own food
an organism that must consume nutrients from other organisms.
An autotroph can best be defined as...
an organism that can produce its own food.

Which of the following statements is true?
Organisms is a term that refers to animals and living things that do not need energy from the sun.
All living things get their energy from the sun. Some get it directly from the sun while others get it indirectly from the sun.
All living things get their nutrients in the same exact way.
Only plants get their energy from the sun
Which statement below best describes what photosynthesis is?
The way green plants use sunlight to make sugar and oxygen.
A process in which plants use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
All of the choices for this question are correct
The processes in which autotrophs make their own food.
Carbon dioxide, water, sugar, oxygen and sunlight are all a part of photosynthesis. Some of these this are reactants and some are products.

Which statement below best defines a reactant?
Reactants are the substances that are created during a chemical reaction.
The plant itself is the reactant because it is where the chemical reaction takes place.
Reactants can be found in the soil that plants grow in.
Reactants are substances that under go a change and become something else.
Carbon dioxide, water, sugar, oxygen and sunlight are all a part of photosynthesis. Some of these this are reactants and some are products.

Which statement below best defines a product?
Products are the substances that are created during a chemical reaction.
Products can be found in the soil that plants grow in.
Products are substances that under go a change and become something else.
The plant itself is the product because it is where the chemical reaction takes place.
Match the parts of photosynthesis on the left with the category they belong in.
Reactant
Product
Sunlight
Glucose
Oxygen
Water
Carbon Dioxide
The green pigment found in a plant is called...
chloroplast
ink
nucleus
chlorophyll
The part of the cell (organelle) that captures the sun's energy is called...
the chloroplast
chlorophyll
carbon dioxide
nucleus
The scientific law- Conservation of Mass/Matter- states that matter is not lost or gained when it undergoes a chemical change. Below is the chemical formula for photosynthesis...

Which statement below best proves that photosynthesis is an example of how matter is not lost or gained during a chemical change?
The matter involved before the chemical change occurs is still present after the change but arranged differently.
During photosynthesis, matter like sunlight, is a product of the chemical reaction.
There is not enough information in the diagram to determine why photosynthesis is an example conservation of mass/matter.
The atoms that make up the molecules before the change is completely different than the atoms that make up the molecules after the change.
The "food" that a plant makes for itself during photosynthesis is called...
Carbon dioxide
Oxygen
Glucose
Chlorophyll
Plants are the only organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
True
False
The word root "photo" in photosynthesis refers to sunlight.
True
False
Photosynthesis is an example of a physical change.
True
False
During the "How does a tree get its mass?" activities, we learned that trees play a critical role in keeping the air clean.

What process do plants go through that helps them gain mass AND keep the air clean?
Digestion
Circulation
Photosynthesis
Cellular respiration
This is a picture from the "How does a tree get its mass?" video. How does this picture show how plants help clean the air of harmful emissions?
Carbon dioxide helps plant grow and the more the plant grows the more space it takes up. This means that there is less room for pollution in the air.
It show that plants release harmful oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere and keeps it out of the foods that animals eat.
The plant helps the clean the air by producing oxygen and oxygen is a purifier.
It shows that plants hold on to carbon after photosynthesis occurs and too much carbon in the air can be harmful.
