Monday 2/9
Learning Targets:
1) I can explain what cellular respiration is.
Warm Up:
1) In the carbon cycle, photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere. What does
cellular respiration do in the carbon cycle?
2) In the carbon cycle, how is combustion (burning of fossil fuels) similar to cellular
respiration?

The purpose of photosynthesis is to use
sunlight energy to combine CO2 and H2O to
create glucose. What is the purpose of cellular
respiration?
Do not need to turn in
