Answer:

A student claims that a change in the amount of an input of photosynthesis affects the

amount of glucose produced as an output of photosynthesis.

Explain the reasoning that can be used to support the student’s claim. Use evidence

from Table 2 to support your explanation.

Scoring Information

Score Description

2

Student’s response correctly explains the reasoning that can be used to

support the student’s claim, and correctly uses evidence from Table 2 to

support the explanation.

1

Student’s response correctly explains the reasoning that can be used to

support the student’s claim, but does not correctly use evidence from

Table 2 to support the explanation

0

Student’s response does not correctly explain the reasoning that can be

used to support the student’s claim or correctly use evidence from Table 2 to

support the explanation.

OR

Student’s response is blank, irrelevant, or too brief to evaluate.

Scoring Notes:

• Explanation of the reasoning that can be used to support the student’s claim

(1 point)

• Evidence from Table 2 to support the explanation (1 point)

Examples include:

• As the amount of water available to trees increases, they are able to produce

more glucose. Table 2 shows that trees in areas with higher rainfall have a larger

diameter than trees in areas with less rainfall. As energy is needed for trees to

grow, the increase in tree diameter suggests that more glucose is produced by

trees in the location with more rainfall.

Answer:

The student's claim is correct. The process of photosynthesis involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. The amount of glucose produced is directly proportional to the amount of input materials (such as carbon dioxide and water) available for the process. Therefore, any change in the amount of input materials will affect the amount of glucose produced as an output.
