Plant Processes Chapter 11 Test Tuesday 1-26 Science TEKS 7.5 Matter and Energy. The student knows that interactions occur between matter and energy. The student is expected to: (A) recognize that radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis; Science TEKS 7.13 Organisms and environments. The student knows that a living organism must be able to maintain balance in stable internal conditions in response to internal and external stimuli. The student is expected to: (A) investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in environment such as phototropism
