Sunlight is the ultimate source of energy for both the tree and the elephant.
The tree and the elephant both use photosynthesis to make food molecules.
Which of the statements are true about the two chemical reactions? Select all that apply.
Equation A summarizes photosynthesis, and Equation B summarizes cellular respiration.
Equation A summarizes cellular respiration, and Equation B summarizes photosynthesis.

Animals that eat only meat, such as dolphins, do not get much sugar (carbohydrate) from their diets. Select the statement below that best explains how a dolphin gets the energy it needs from its food.
The dolphin does not use cellular respiration to get energy from food.
The dolphin is not very active so it does not need a lot of energy to function.
The dolphin’s body is able to break down other carbon-based molecules, such as proteins and fats, to use as an energy source for cellular respiration.
The dolphin gets the energy it needs directly from sunlight.

Which statements identify possible advantages of algal biofuel? Select all that apply.
Algae grow quickly and are a renewable source of energy.
Algae can be grown in water sources that cannot be used for drinking or agriculture.
Algal biofuel is not established on a large scale, so farming and fuel production methods cannot meet current global needs for energy.
Algae can be supplied with the carbon dioxide they need to grow using emissions from power plants and other industrial sources.
