100

True or false: photosynthesis can still happen without sunlight

False
100

All of them

100

Can the total carbon in a closed ecosystem change? Yes or no

No!

200

Is sunlight biotic or abiotic?

Abiotic
200

A mouse is an example of what kind of living thing? (i.e., producer, consumer, or decomposer)

Consumer

200

Name one example of a living thing that does photosynthesis 

Any type of plant you named is correct!

200

What is produced through cellular respiration?

Carbon Dioxide (also water)
200

True or false: energy storage molecules contain carbon

True

300

Is a deer skull biotic or abiotic?

Biotic

300
Bacteria is an example of what type of living thing? (i.e., producer, consumer, or decomposer)
Decomposer
300

What do organisms produce through photosynthesis? Name one of the two things

Oxygen and energy storage molecules

300

True or false: cellular respiration can still happen without sunlight

True

300

What is the name for the carbon that is in the air?

Carbon dioxide

400

When an animal does cellular respiration, what direction does the carbon move? From biotic to abiotic matter or from abiotic to biotic matter

From biotic to abiotic

400
What is the only type of living thing that does photosynthesis?

400

Name 2 things that organisms need to be able to photosynthesize

Sunlight, water, carbon dioxide

400

Name one of the two things that an organism needs to complete cellular respiration.

Oxygen, energy storage molecules
400

There are 30 units of carbon in a closed ecosystem. There are 20 units of carbon in biotic matter and 10 units of carbon in abiotic matter. 5 units of carbon leave biotic matter.

How many units of carbon are in abiotic matter at the end?

15 units of carbon

500

Name (1) a material that a desk could be made out of that is abiotic and (2) a material that a desk could be made out of that is biotic

(1) metal, plastic, glass, stone, etc. and (2) wood

500

Why will an ecosystem fail if there are no decomposers?

There will not be enough carbon dioxide made through cellular respiration for producers to be able to photosynthesize

500

What would happen if photosynthesis stopped working in an ecosystem? Be specific!

Everything would die because there would not be enough energy storage molecules and/or oxygen to support life

500

Why do organisms need to do cellular respiration? What's the purpose of it for that individual organism?

To release energy stored in energy storage molecules

500

Which of the following contains carbon and is also a type of energy storage molecule: ammonia, glucose, sodium, or acetate

Glucose
