Compare 2 tanks (same size) in a classroom. One has aquatic plants and trout in it. The other has a similar amount of aquatic plant in it, but not trout. Why would the dissolved oxygen level in the tank with the fish be lower than the dissolved oxygen level in the tank without fish?

a. The tank with the fish and the plants has less because the fish use up the dissolved oxygen.

b. Plants in the tank with fish give off less oxygen.

c. The absence of animals in the tank with only plants reduces the oxygen level.

The following questions are based on the following account of an experiment performed by van Helmont in the 17th century:

(1) That all vegetable matter immediately and materially arises from the element water alone I learned from this experiment. (2) I took an earthenware pot, placed in it 200 pounds of earth dried in an oven, soaked this with warm water, and planted in it a willow shoot weighing 5 pounds. After five years had passed, the tree weighed 169 pounds. The earthenware pot was constantly wet only with rain or (when necessary) distilled water; and it was ample in size and embedded in the ground; and to prevent dust flying around from mixing with the earth, the rim of the pot was kept covered with an iron plate coated with tin and pierced with many holes. Finally, I again dried the earth of the clay pot and (3) it was found to be the same 200 pounds minus 2 ounces. (4) Therefore, 164 pounds of wood, bark, and root had arisen from the water alone.

Questions:

1. Which of the statements above (1, 2, 3, or 4) is an observation, or result of the experiment?

2. Which of the statements is a conclusion based on the experiment?

3. Which of the statements describes van Helmont's experimental method?

4. If van Helmont had found that the earth in the pot weighed considerably less at the end of the experiment than at the beginning, he would probably have concluded that:

a. The matter in the tree came entirely from the element "earth".

b. Earth is soluble in water.

c. The matter in the tree came from both water and earth.

d. Earth was lost from the soil surface.

Correct Answer:

1. (3)

2. (1) and (4)

3. (2)

Aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are both essential for the energy requirements of all living things. Compare them using a model, drawing, or sketch of each. Your creation should allow a comparison of the following:

a. raw materials

b. end products

c. in what cells they occur

d. physical conditions necessary

e. organelles involved

Correct Answers:

Photosynthesis

light energy

6CO2 + 12H2O -----------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

Aerobic respiration

C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O ----------> 6CO2 + 12H2O + ATP energy

a. The raw materials for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water. The raw materials for aerobic respiration are glucose and oxygen.

b. The end products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. The end products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water and ATP. The end products of one are the raw materials of the other.

c. Photosynthesis occurs only in cells containing chloroplasts. Aerobic respiration (or cellular respiration) occurs in all cell of most every organism.

d. Photosynthesis requires light energy. Respiration occurs in both light and dark.

e. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Title: Water - A Necessity Of Life

Introduction:

In this investigation you will calculate how much water you use directly as an individual on a daily basis, and then calculate the water needs for your family, your class, your school, your town, and your state.

Materials:

graph paper

calculators

Time: 1 - 2 weeks

Procedure:

1. Record how many gallons of water you think you use individually in an average day. Later you will compare this estimated daily water use with your calculated daily water use.

2. As a group, list all the ways members of your class use water on a day-to-day basis.

3. Using the data in the table titled "Domestic Uses of Water", determine your individual water use per day for each activity that your class listed in procedure 2. Include your share of general family uses such as dishwasher and clothes washer. Then determine your individual total water use per day.

4. Compare the individual water use you calculated in procedure 3 with the water use you estimated in procedure 1. Is your calculated figure higher or lower than your estimated figure? Explain the difference.

5. Calculate the amount of water used per day by your family, your class, and your school, for each of the activities listed in procedure 2.

6. Calculate total water use per day for all the activities combined, for your family, your class, and your school.

7. Calculate the total direct use of water for you, your class, your school, and your state during the period of a year.

8. Draw a bar graph to illustrate how much water is used by your class for each activity. Which activities require the most water?

Questions:

1. What percent of your body weight is due to water?

2. How does your body obtain water?

3. How does your body lose water?

4. What can you do to reduce your direct use of water?

Provide 15 - 18 suggestions.

5. What is the source of domestic water for your city?

6. Is there any evidence that the water supply you use daily is decreasing in size or is being contaminated by pollutants? How could you obtain this information?

7. Explain indirect use of water.

8. Study the table "Indirect Uses Of Water." How can you reduce your indirect use of water?

9. Study the table "How To Make A Cow". How much water does it take to raise a cow?

10. Is there a bias in Mr. CousteauÕs written piece? What, do you suppose, is his view on agriculture?
