Modified True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.  If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true.
 

 1. 

All organisms need energy to carry out life processes. _________________________

 

 2. 

Homeostasis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. _________________________

 

 3. 

Autotrophs make inorganic compounds that serve as food for them and for almost all of the other organisms on Earth. _________________________

 

 4. 

Photosynthesis is a process that takes place in autotrophs. _________________________

 

 5. 

Photosynthesis involves using energy to build organic molecules and breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored. _________________________

 

 6. 

Photosynthesis converts stable carbon dioxide molecules into oxygen, a less stable carbon compound. _________________________

 

 7. 

Through the process of cellular respiration, cells make carbon in glucose into stable carbon dioxide and produce energy. _________________________

 

 8. 

ATP is a portable form of energy “currency” inside cells. _________________________

 

 9. 

In cells, chemical energy is gradually released in a series of chemical compounds that are assisted by enzymes. _________________________

 

 10. 

The major light-absorbing pigment in plant photosynthesis is carotenoid. _________________________

 

 11. 

The thylakoid membrane is folded in a way that produces flat, disc-like sacs called stroma. _________________________

 

 12. 

Plant cells use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. _________________________

 

 13. 

Plants get electrons to replace the excited electrons that leave chlorophyll molecules by splitting water molecules. _________________________

 

 14. 

The final stage of photosynthesis during which sugar molecules are produced is light dependent. _________________________

 

 15. 

The reactions that “fix” carbon dioxide are sometimes called dark reactions. _________________________

 

 16. 

Most of the three-carbon sugars formed during the Calvin cycle are used to regenerate the five-carbon compound that began the cycle. _________________________

 

 17. 

Carbon dioxide concentration is one of the environmental factors that affect photosynthesis. _________________________

 

 18. 

Increasing light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis only until all the oxygen molecules in chloroplasts are being used. _________________________

 

 19. 

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two pyruvates. _________________________

 

 20. 

Glycolysis occurs during the second stage of cellular respiration. _________________________

 

 21. 

Glycolysis is an aerobic process. _________________________

 

 22. 

During aerobic respiration, the breakdown of a molecule of glucose yields a net of up to two molecules of ATP. _________________________

 

 23. 

The first stage of aerobic respiration is a series of biochemical reactions called the Calvin cycle. _________________________

 

 24. 

Fermentation takes place in absence of carbon dioxide. _________________________

 

 25. 

Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process. _________________________
