Key Learning:

The process of photosynthesis is used by producers to make simple sugars from sunlight. Cellular respiration is used by organisms to produce energy carrying molecules called ATP which are used by the cells to provide the energy they need for cellular processes.
Unit Essential Question(s):
 
 

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration work together to provide energy for cellular functions?
   
Concept:

Photosynthesis

SC.912.L.18.7  

Discuss the processes of photosynthesis including the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions.

Dscuss the reactants and products that are involved in each of the phasis of photosynthesis.

HOTS

Constructing support, or deductive reasoning could be used to address the ET LEQs.
Concept:

Cellular Respiration

SC.912.L.18.8  

Describe the various stages of aerobic respiration including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. Emphasis should be placed on the reactants used and the products produced for each step.

Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration and describe different situations when anaerobic respiration maybe needed.

Discuss the different types of anaerobic respiration. Emphasis should be placed on the reactants used and the products produced for each step.

HOTS

Classifying/Categorizing, or Deductive Reasoning can be used to demonstrate the ET LEQ.
Concept:

Cell Energy

SC.912.L.18.9   SC.912.L.18.10  

Describe how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected.

Explain how plants use photosynthesis to produce sugar and that both plants and animals use the sugar in cellular respiration to make ATP.

Discuss how the cells use ATP by breaking off one phosphate group from the ATP to provide energy for the various cell functions.

HOTS

Deductive Reasoning can be used to demonstrate the ET LEQ.

Vocabulary Report

  • aerobic -

    means with air; type of energy source that relies on the use of oxygen.

  • photosynthesis -

    process by which autotrophs, such as algae, and plants, trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use their energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars.

  • ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) -

    energy-storing molecule in cells composed of an adenosine molecule, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups; energy is stored in the molecule's chemical bonds and can be used quickly and easily by cells.

  • anaerobic -

    means without air; type of respiration that does not rely on oxygen for energy resources.

  • fermentation -

    process of deriving energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound. This process does not necessarily have to be carried out in an anaerobic environment.
