Lesson 10

Why don't plants die at night?

Lesson Objectives...

Use a model of the plant system to predict that plants do not do photosynthesis in the dark.
Analyze and interpret data to identify patterns that show that in the dark, plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide and water.
Communicate information about the relationship between energy and the cycling of carbon dioxide and oxygen (matter) in and out of plants.

In the dark, plants do not do photosynthesis.
Instead, they do some kind of chemical reaction that takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water (cellular respiration).
