Length of Lesson 15 Days Content
STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
Describe and interpret relationships between structure and function at
various levels of biological organization (i.e., organelles, cells, tissues,
organs, organ systems, and multicellular organisms).
Describe the fundamental roles of plastids (e.g., chloroplasts) and
mitochondria in energy transformations.
Describe the role of ATP in biochemical reactions
VOCABULARY:
Photosynthesis
Calvin Cycle
Autotroph
Aerobic
Heterotroph
Anaerobic
Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis
Pigment
NADH
Chlorophyll
Krebs Cycle
Carotenoid
FDH2
Thylakoid
Fermentation
ETC
NADPH
Carbon Dioxide Fixation
BIG IDEAS:
Describe and interpret relationships between structure
and function at various levels of biochemical organization
(i.e., atoms, molecules, and macromolecules).
Identify and describe how organisms obtain and
transform energy for their life processes.
Identify and describe the cell structures involved in
processing energy.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
How does energy flow through living systems?
Describe the role of ATP in metabolism
Summarize how energy is captured from sunlight in the
first stage of photosynthesis.
Identify three environmental factors that affect the rate of
photosynthesis.
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
(COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):Students will be able to:

Compare and contrast aerobic/anaerobic
respiration.
 Compare and contrast respiration and
photosynthesis.
 Explain why energy is important to living
organisms.
 Explain how ATP is produced with and without
oxygen
 Describe the processes of glycolysis.
