Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.35 Plant Growth from Air and Water skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Evidence: A wheat seedling grew when roots had water and leaves had air. Which sentence should go in the student conclusion?

AWater is only for cooling plants and is not used in growth.

BPlants grow because sunlight turns directly into solid matter.

CThe wheat seedling gets most of its new matter by eating soil.

DRoots take in water, while leaves take in gases from air for photosynthesis.

Solution & Explanation:Plants use light energy to make food. The matter for plant growth comes largely from carbon dioxide in air and from water, while soil mainly provides support and minerals.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Evidence: A houseplant grew toward a sunny window. Which sentence should go in the student conclusion?

AWater is only for cooling plants and is not used in growth.

BPlants grow because sunlight turns directly into solid matter.

CThe plant responds to light because light is needed as an energy source.

DThe houseplant gets most of its new matter by eating soil.

Solution & Explanation:Plants use light energy to make food. The matter for plant growth comes largely from carbon dioxide in air and from water, while soil mainly provides support and minerals.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Evidence: A bean sprout grew taller but did not use up much soil. Which sentence should go in the student conclusion?

AWater is only for cooling plants and is not used in growth.

BThe added mass mostly came from air and water, not eaten soil.

CPlants grow because sunlight turns directly into solid matter.

DThe bean sprout gets most of its new matter by eating soil.

Solution & Explanation:Plants use light energy to make food. The matter for plant growth comes largely from carbon dioxide in air and from water, while soil mainly provides support and minerals.
