Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.29 Photosynthesis as Matter and Energy Transformation skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which planned diagram would best represent photosynthesis as both matter and energy transformation for a grade 5 student?
AA weather map showing wind direction near a forest.
BA food label from a snack package with no plant diagram.
CA picture showing only a tree with no arrows or labels.
DA model with arrows showing carbon dioxide and water entering a leaf, sunlight entering as energy, and sugar plus oxygen leaving.
Solution & Explanation:The best diagram tracks both the matter inputs and outputs and the role of light energy in making sugar and oxygen.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which summary correctly connects photosynthesis to an everyday food such as an apple slice?
AThe apple's energy came only from the knife that cut it.
BThe apple made its energy after it was picked from the tree.
CThe energy in the apple originally came from sunlight captured by the plant during photosynthesis.
DThe apple's energy came from oxygen changing into soil.
Solution & Explanation:Photosynthesis stored sunlight energy in sugar, and that stored energy is still present in plant foods like apples.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
In an investigation, oxygen bubble counts were 5, 12, and 12 as lamp brightness increased from low to medium to high. What is the best inference?
ALamp brightness has no relationship at all to photosynthesis.
BBrighter light increased photosynthesis at first, then another factor may have limited further increase.
CBubble counts prove the plant stopped needing light at high brightness.
DThe plant made less oxygen at medium brightness than at low brightness.
Solution & Explanation:The jump from 5 to 12 shows light helped at first, but the level result from medium to high suggests another factor became limiting.
