In your own words, explain the global importance of photosynthesis.
ENGAGE:
Watch this video about cellular respiration, then answer the questions.
Which organisms perform cellular respiration?
Why is cellular respiration important?
EXPLORE:
Read this passage and watch the linked video at the bottom of the page to answer the questions.
How are the chemical reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration related to one another?
What molecule is broken down to provide oxygen during photosynthesis?
Without oxygen, can ATP be produced?
EXPLAIN:
Study this infographic.
Using a sheet of paper, create your own original infographic model of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. It must contain the following aspects:
Inputs (also called reactants) and outputs (also called products) for cellular respiration
Inputs (also called reactants) and outputs (also called products) for photosynthesis
You may include pictures, chemical symbols, and/or words to represent the inputs and outputs.
Once finished, turn it into the correct tray.
Have you turned it in?

EXTEND:
Watch this video about hummingbird cellular respiration in low oxygen, high altitude environments. After watching the video, answer the questions.
What were the researchers trying to determine?
Describe their experimental design (describe what they do in the video).
What molecule is responsible for capturing oxygen and delivering it to hummingbird cells?
What is needed for photosynthesis to occur?
What is needed for cellular respiration to occur?
What is ATP?
Do autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration? Why or why not?
