The energy captured in photosynthesis is used to power cellular respiration.
The energy transformed in cellular respiration is used to power photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis and respiration perform the same task in terms of energy transformation.
Energy is not involved in either photosynthesis or cellular respiration.
4. Sage conducted an experimental investigation of the gas production of a water plant. She placed a beaker upside down over a water plant submerged in water and collected the gas that the water plant produced when kept in sunlight. After several days, a large bubble of gas collected in the upside-down beaker. What is the best description of the makeup of the gas in the test tube? (SC.912.L.18.9)

The gas contains one of the products of respiration, oxygen.
The gas contains one of the products of photosynthesis, oxygen.
The gas contains one of the products of respiration, carbon dioxide.
The gas contains one of the products of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide.

It is converted to kinetic energy
It is converted to chemical energy, which the plant stores.
It powers a reaction that produces carbon dioxide and water.
It powers a reaction that produces oxygen and carbon dioxide.

8. A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition. Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles. Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles of the weightlifter as he competes in his event? (SC.912.L.18.9)

As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.
As the cells run out of oxygen, they die off gradually and the weightlifter's muscles have fewer contracting muscle cells.
The cells will never run out of oxygen if the weightlifter is breathing.
As the cells run out of oxygen, they will continue to make the same amount of ATP, since oxygen is not required to make ATP.
9. Two different species of bacteria are examined. Scientists find that species X always produces CO2 and H2O during cellular respiration. Species Y always produces ethyl alcohol and CO2. Which conclusion can be made from these observations? (SC.912.L.18.9)

Only species Y is aerobic
Only species Y is anaerobic
Both species X and Y are aerobic
Both species X and Y are anaerobic
