Unit II, 2010-2011
1. Key Idea/s:
Photosynthesis and
Respiration are
complementary Processes
Respiration and Photosynthesis are
complementary due to products
produced and reactants used:
Photosynthesis Reactants
The carbon and energy cycling is
dependent on these two biological
processes
Respiration Reactants
Respiration Products
Photosynthesis Products
2. Key Idea/s:
1b.Students know how
prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic
cells (including those from
plants and animals), and
viruses differ in complexity
and general structure.
What kinds of cells perform
photosynthesis?
What kind of organism is a
photosynthetic organism?
What kinds of cells have chloroplasts
Name 3 examples of cells that are
not photosynthetic and what
would they be called?
What kinds of cells do not have
chloroplasts?
3. Key Idea/s:
1f. Students know usable
energy is captured from
sunlight by chloroplasts and is
stored through the synthesis
of sugar from carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis is the process by which
plants and some bacteria use the energy
from __________________ to produce
a sugar called___________________
with the formula of ______________
What is photosynthesis also called?
Why?
Where does the carbon reactant come
from?
4. Key Idea/s:
Prokaryotes do not have
membrane bound
organelles but can still
carryout complex
functions
Where does photosynthesis occur in
eukaryotes?
5. Key Idea/s:
Students can write the
general equation of
photosynthesis and identify
the reactants and products.
Write the overall equation for photosynthesis. Identify the reactants and the
products.
6. Key Idea/s:
Students can discuss the
important events that happen
during the light reactions and
Calvin-Benson Cycle.
What do you think the advantage is
for an organism to perform
photosynthesis using chloroplasts?
Where does photosynthesis occur in
prokaryotes?
What is the stage of photosynthesis
that requires light and what is it called
AND what happens?
What is the stage of photosynthesis
that does not requires light and
what is it called AND what happens?
Stage Name:
Stage Names:
Light Reaction/Light Dependent
What happens?
Dark Reaction/Light Independent
What happens?
7. Key Idea/s:
Students can explain
the role of ADP and ATP
and
energy-carriers such as
NADP and NADPH.
6. Key Idea/s:
Draw and label a chloroplast
Students can describe the
internal structure of the
chloroplast.
7. Key Idea/s:
Interpret graphic data
Students know that the two
photo systems used during
photosynthesis absorb light
energy of different frequencies.
Do plants use the green light part
of the spectrum?
8. Key Idea/s:
Interpreting experiments
How can we tell that the
process of photosynthesis is
happing and not respiration?
