Chapter 3: CELL PROCESSES and ENERGY
Learning Target
Vocabulary Word
Definition
Lesson 1
I can describe what
happens during
photosynthesis.
Stage 1 – Capturing
the sun’s energy –
chlorophyll in plant
cells captures energy
from sunlight.
photosynthesis
Light energry +
6 CO2 + 6 H2O =
C6H12O6 + 6 O2
I can explain how
living things get
energy from the sun.
Facts or Examples
Stage 2 - Using energy
to make food. – The
captured light energy
is used to produce O2
and sugars (glucose)
Plants, algae
autotroph
Animals, fungi
heterotroph
chlorophyll
Found in the
chloroplasts of plant
cells.

Lesson 2
I can describe the
events that occur
during cellular
respiration.
Cellular
respiration
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 =
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP
energy
I can tell what
happens during
fermentation.
Fermentation
Stage 1 – occurs in
cytoplasm, glucose is
broken down, releases
small amount of
energy
Stage 2 – occurs in
mitochondria with
oxygen, producing
CO2 & large amounts
of energy.
Fermentation gives off
lactic acic (in
muscles) and carbon
dioxide (by yeast) to
create beer, wine,
bread.
