Test Item Structure Stem: Consists of a question relating to the equation of cellular respiration. Diagram: Shows the equation of cellular respiration with a missing reactant and product. Distractors: A is a product but it is already listed as a product. B is a reactant. D is a type of energy needed for photosynthesis and not a product of respiration. Correct answer choice: C What makes this the correct choice? This is one of the products of cellular respiration, whereas the others are already listed in the diagram. NavigationPage

Connection to TN Standards Content Standard: 3.0 Food Production and Energy for Life • The student will study the basic parts of plants, investigate how plants produce food, and discover that plants and animals use food to sustain life. Learning Expectations: • 3.2 Distinguish between photosynthesis and respiration. • 3.3 Describe the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living things and the environment. Performance Indicators State • at Level 1, the student is able to • 7.3.spi.2 identify photosynthesis as the food making process in plants. • at Level 2, the student is able to • 7.3.spi.5 select the illustration that depicts the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living things and their environment. • 7.3.spi.6 identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis and respiration. • at Level 3, the student is able to • 7.3.spi.8 interpret a diagram depicting the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle.

Connection to Standards: NSES Students in grades K-8 should have developed a foundational understanding of life sciences. (9-12) NavigationPage
Connection to Standards:Benchmarks (6-8) Food provides molecules that serve as fuel and building material for all organisms. Plants use the energy in light to make sugars out of carbon dioxide and water. This food can be used immediately for fuel or materials or it may be stored for later use. Organisms that eat plants break down the plant structures to produce the materials and energy they need to survive. Then they are consumed by other organisms. NavigationPage
