Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Pre/Post-Test Score _____/100

Standards Assessed:

SC.6.L.14.3 – Recognize and explore how cells of all organisms undergo similar processes to

maintain homeostasis, including extracting energy from food, getting rid of waste and

reproducing.

SC.8.L.18.1 – Describe and investigate the process of photosynthesis, such as the roles of light,

carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll; production of food and release of oxygen.

SC.8.L.18.2 – Describe and investigate how cellular respiration breaks down food to provide

energy and releases carbon dioxide.
