,2) A plant will begin flowering in response to changes in length of daylight, temperature, and
light quality. This is an example of which unifying principle of life?
A) Plants conduct photosynthesis.
B) Living organisms maintain homeostasis.
C) Living organisms interact with their environment.
D) Living organisms grow and develop.
E) Populations of organisms evolve from one generation to the next.
Answer: C
Explanation: Clarify Question
• What is the key concept addressed by the question?
o The question asks about a principle of life.
• What type of thinking is required?
o You are being asked to apply your knowledge of principles of life to pick which aligns best
with plants responding to light.
Gather Content
• What do you know about principles of life? What other information is related to the question?
o Not all organisms can perform photosynthesis, so this is not a general principle of life.
o Responding to light is not a form of homeostasis nor does it involve growing or developing.
o Responding to light does not affect the transfer of information from one generation to the
next.
Choose Answer
• Given what you now know, what information is most likely to produce the correct answer?
o The best answer is that responding to light is an example of an organism interacting with its
environment.
Reflect on Process
• Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process
break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable
result?
o This question asked you to apply your understanding of the principles of life to explain the
response of plants to light. If you got the correct answer, great job! If you got an incorrect
answer, where did the process break down? Did you think that being able to do photosynthesis
was a principle of all life? Did you think that one of the other principles of life corresponded
with a plant responding to light?
