Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.71 Photosynthesis and Matter and Energy in Organisms skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Use the ecosystem model of a plant, grasshopper, bird, decomposer, air, water, and the sun. Which statement makes the model most complete?
AAdd that the bird makes sunlight for the plant.
BAdd that soil is the plant's main food source.
CAdd that matter is destroyed when the decomposer acts.
DAdd that light energy enters the plant from the sun, and matter such as carbon dioxide and water moves through organisms and the environment.
Solution & Explanation:A complete ecosystem model must show both the one-way flow of energy from the sun and the cycling of matter such as carbon dioxide and water.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Use the peer diagram. What feedback would most improve the model?
ARemove sunlight because it is not needed.
BShow soil as the plant's only food source.
CAdd arrows showing that glucose can become plant tissues, be stored, or move to organisms that eat the plant.
DReplace carbon dioxide with oxygen as the main input for making glucose.
Solution & Explanation:A better model should show multiple fates of glucose, including growth, storage, and transfer through feeding relationships.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Which statement best connects photosynthesis inside cells to energy flow in whole ecosystems?
AProducers create energy from nothing for consumers.
BChloroplasts in producers capture light energy and store it in glucose, providing matter and chemical energy that can move through food webs.
CEcosystems work even if producers do not make glucose.
DAnimals send light energy back to producer cells.
Solution & Explanation:Photosynthesis in chloroplasts is the process that brings light energy into ecosystems and stores it in molecules that other organisms can use.
