Product Target 2.5: Construct an explanation that
describes photosynthesis’ role in the cycling of
matter and flow of energy into and out of
organisms.
Product Target 1.5: Develop a model to describe
how atoms are rearranged during chemical
reactions to new molecules that you use to grow
and use energy.
