    Base your answers to questions 12 on the information, diagram, and data table below and on your knowledge of biology.

    The laboratory setup represented below was used to investigate the effect of light on aquatic plants. Equal amounts of a green water plant were placed in beakers with gas- collecting tubes. The beakers were placed in a temperature-controlled environment. The light source was placed at different distances from the beakers. After an hour, the amount of gas collected from the plants in each tube was measured and recorded in the data table.

    Base your answers to questions 13 on the information and graph below and on your knowledge of biology.

    A student conducts an experiment to determine how the amount of light affects the rate of oxygen production in a plant. The graph represents the rate of oxygen produced for one trial, X, in the experiment. By the end of the experiment, the plant had not reached maximum oxygen production.

    Base your answer to question 17 on the information and photograph below and on your knowledge of biology. The photograph shows an oriental hornet.

    Oriental hornets are unique insects. A yellow pigment in the body of the insect converts solar energy to electrical energy. Plants also convert energy from the Sun.
