Can you create me a practice test based on these quiz questions: The planet Mercury is closer to the sun than the planet Venus. However, temperatures on Venus are hotter than temperatures on Mercury. Why would this be the case? Mercury has a thicker atmosphere than Venus that blocks heat from the sun. Mercury spins more quickly than Venus, so its surface cannot heat up as quickly. Venus has a thicker atmosphere than Mercury that traps heat from the sun. Venus is cooled by high concentrations of water vapor in its atmosphere. **Question 2** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** Oxygen is produced during the light reactions when water is split to provide replacement electrons to chlorophyll. electrons reach the end of the electron transport chain. NADP+ is converted to NADPH. CO2 splits apart at the end of the light reactions. **Question 3** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** What happens when water is heated? It\'s broken into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules are broken. New hydrogen bonds are created between water molecules. Hydrogen atoms jump from one water molecule to another water molecule. **Question 4** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** Why is water so important in controlling Earth\'s climate? Water warms up quickly when very little energy is added to it. The evaporation of water from oceans and lakes cools the temperature of the continents. The water in oceans and lakes stores the energy radiated by the sun and releases it slowly. Water vapor is one of the greenhouse gases that allows the release of heat into space. **Question 5** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** Which of these human activities has directly contributed to global warming? development of solar energy planting of trees burning of coal building of greenhouses **Question 6** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** Which of these would be the most likely effect on precipitation from global warming? a decrease in the amount of snowfall on mountaintops an increase in the months of snowfall in higher latitudes a decrease in the amount of rainfall near oceans an increase in the amount of rainfall in every climate **Question 7** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** The full range of electromagnetic energy is called the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ spectrum. ultraviolet electromagnetic visible energy **Question 8** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** What is the name given to organisms that can make their own food and thus sustain themselves without consuming organic molecules derived from other organisms? autotrophs heterotrophs chemotrophs **Question 9** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** What is the source of energy that provides the boost for electrons during photosynthesis? cellular respiration NADPH ATP light **Question 10** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** *After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.\ * *\ *The graph shows records of temperature (light gray line) and CO2 (dark gray line) over the past 1,000 years. CO2 is recorded in parts per million (ppm).\ \ \ If the trends shown in the graph continue, how might this affect photosynthesis? There would be no effect on photorespiration, since CO2 and temperature are stable. C4 and CAM plants would be unable to photosynthesize.

CO2 is recorded in parts per million (ppm).\ \ \ If you focus on the data from the mid-1900s (indicated by the arrow) through today, the graph shows that there is a correlation between CO2 and temperature; when CO2 levels are high, temperature is low. there is no correlation between CO2 and temperature; CO2 fluctuates randomly and temperature is constant. there is a correlation between CO2 and temperature; when CO2 levels are high, so is temperature. there is no correlation between CO2 and temperature; CO2 is constant and temperature fluctuates randomly. **Question 14** **0.05 / 0.05 pts** Which of the following molecules is a reactant of photosynthesis?
