Cell Energy, Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis, & Fermentation
Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis and Fermentation
Suggested Time : 15 days
Objectives
Students will:
identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of photosynthesis
identify the reactants, products, and basic functions in both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration
describe the products and reactants of cellular respiration as the reactants and products of photosynthesis, for example:
carbon dioxide created in cellular respiration is used in photosynthesis
oxygen created through photosynthesis is used in cellular respiration
connect the role of ATP to energy transfers within a cell
Benchmarks Covered:
L.18.7 (Moderate) - Identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of photosynthesis.
