LESSON TOPIC:
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill focus)
• 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.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
Students will understand:
• Forms of energy are required to maintain life.
• 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).
• Photosynthesis is the process that transforms light energy into potential chemical energy.
• Describe the fundamental roles of plastids (e.g., chloroplasts) and mitochondria in energy transformations.
• Cellular respiration is the process by which potential chemical energy in the bonds of glucose is transformed into potential chemical energy in the bonds of
ATP.
• Describe the role of ATP in biochemical reactions
VOCABULARY: Photosynthesis, Calvin cycle, autotroph, aerobic, heterotrophy, anaerobic, cellular respiration, glycolysis, pigment, NADH, chlorophyll, Krebs cycle, carotenoid, FDH2, thylakoid, fermentation, ETC, NADPH, carbon dioxide fixation
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
• How does energy flow through living systems?
• How do different organisms obtain and use energy to survive in their environment?
• 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:
• Describe the flow of energy through living systems.
• 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.

Others:
Describe usage:
• Students will identify the flow of energy through living things and how energy is initially captured from sunlight.
• Students will identify factors that affect the rate of photsynthesis.
• Students will analyze the function of the electron transport chains in photosynthesis,
• Students will relate the Calvin cycle to carbon dioxide fixation.
• Students will describe how energy from food is converted to
ATP.
• Students wll relate the role of the mitochondria to the creation of ATP from food.
• Students will summarize how glucose is broken down in the first stage of cellular respiration and identify the role of fermentation in the second stage.
• Students will evaluate the importance of oxygen in aerobic respiration
Scaffolding used:
#1. Build on Prior Knowledge
#2 . Provide Visual Support
Others:
Describe usage:
• Students will compare the metabolism of autotrophs and heterotrophs.
• The student will build on his knowledge of the organelles of cells and the role they each play in photosynthesis and respiration.
• Students will use their knowledge of the differences in the structures of plant and animal cells to explain the differences in the process of metabolism in each type of cell.
• Describe how energy is released from ATP for metabolism.
Other techniques used:
