They convert light energy into electrical energy.
2. Recall that plants use light energy from the sun to make food. Into what kind of energy is the light energy converted by plants?
Plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
3. Most plants, no matter what size or shape they are, have some parts that are green. Which parts of a plant are usually green?
Leaves are green, as are some stems.
4. What does the green color have to do with the plant s ability to convert light energy into the energy found in the food it makes?
The green color is the pigment chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy

A Look Into the Future
NOTEBOOK #4
It is 100 years in the future and you are a research
scientist. An enormous volcanic eruption has recently sent huge quantities of dust and ash into
the atmosphere.
Working with a partner, make a list of how this event will affect each of the following:
1. photosynthesis

Working with a partner, make a list of how this event will affect each of the following:
1. photosynthesis The rate of photosynthesis will decrease due to reduced sunlight.
2. plant life Plants will grow more slowly or die off due to decreased rate of photosynthesis.
3. animal life Animal populations will decrease after a while due to fewer plants for herbivores to eat. Fewer
herbivores will eventually result in fewer carnivores. Also, less oxygen will be available.

Feel the Burn
Do you like to run, bike, or swim? These all are good ways to exercise. When you exercise, your body uses oxygen to get energy from glucose,
a six-carbon sugar.
1. How does your body feel at the start of exercise, such as a long, slow
run? How do you feel 1 minute into the run; 10 minutes into the run?
2. What do you think is happening in your cells to cause the changes
in how you feel?

1. How does your body feel at the start of exercise, such as a long, slow run? How do you feel 1 minute into the run; 10 minutes into the run?
Students may answer that they feel no fatigue at the start of a run; however, after 1 minute and more so after 10 minutes, they are breathing hard, their heart rate has increased significantly, and their muscles may hurt.
2. What do you think is happening in your cells to cause the changes in how you feel?
Students may say that the increase in heart rate and breathing rate are a response that gets extra oxygen to the cells. The pain may be attributed to the cells becoming fatigued.
3. Think about running as fast as you can for 100 meters. Could you keep up this pace for a much longer distance? Explain your answer.

1. Obtain two sheets of paper and a metric ruler. What is the surface
area of the paper?
The area will vary depending on the size of paper used. A sheet of notebook paper has an area of approximately 600 cm3.
2. Roll one sheet of paper into a tube lengthwise. What is the surface
area of the rolled paper?
The surface area is the same as the original sheet of paper.
3. Fold the second sheet of paper into a fan. Then, roll the first
sheet of paper around the folded paper so it is inside the rolled paper. What has happened to the surface area of the inside of the rolled paper?
The surface area has increased (surface area of rolled paper + surface area of folded paper).
