15 questions
Essential Questions
You will be able to answer:

  • How do photosynthesizers capture and store the energy of the sun?
  • How do organisms gain energy from carbohydrates?
  • How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration responsible for cycling of matter?
  • How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration contribute to the flow of energy?
The Learning Goals:

  • I can demonstrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.
  • I can list the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis.
  • I can list the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration.
ENGAGE:

Watch this video about the importance of photosynthesis, then answer the question.
2

In your own words, explain the global importance of photosynthesis.

ENGAGE:

Watch this video about cellular respiration, then answer the questions.
1

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

1

Why is cellular respiration important?

EXPLORE:

Read this passage and watch the linked video at the bottom of the page to answer the questions.
1

How are the chemical reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration related to one another?

1

What molecule is broken down to provide oxygen during photosynthesis?

1

Without oxygen, can ATP be produced?

1

What is needed for photosynthesis to occur?

1

What is needed for cellular respiration to occur?

1

What is ATP?

2

Do autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration? Why or why not?

EXPLAIN:

Study this infographic.
8

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.
