Photosynthesis and the Energy of Life Chapter 8 Biology
Overview of the Week Topic: Photosynthesis Key concept questions: What is the role of ATP in the building up and breaking down of macromolecules? What is the role of photosynthesis in making carbohydrates? Text-study pages 45-46 (carbohydrates); 206 (the photosynthesis equation); 208-213 (The reactions of photosynthesis section
Methods and Data sources There are many uses of models in this chapter. Explain how scientists used the following models to understand ATP Figure 8-2 Figure 8-3 Figure 8-4 Figure 8-5
Methods and Data Sources Microscopes were also used in this section. Tell how scientists used microscopes to understand the plant structures related to photosynthesis. Figure 8-6
Data Analysis Carbohydrates (45-46) Inside a chloroplast (208) Explain the structure of carbohydrates and then explain how they are made. Inside a chloroplast (208) Explain how the structure and function of chloroplast are related to photosynthesis. Tell how ATP is made within the chloroplast Electron carriers (209) Tell (in 3 sentences) how electron carriers are made and their significance in making carbohydrates
Data analysis Light dependent reactions (210-211) Explain what the light dependent reactions are Tell where they occur in the chloroplast Tell how much ATP is made and how it is used in the processes of the light dependent reactions Tell why the light dependent reactions have to occur in order to make carbohydrates
Data analysis Calvin Cycle (212-213) Explain what the Calvin cycle is and why its termed the dark reactions. Tell where the Calvin cycle takes place in the chloroplast. Tell how ATP is used in the process of the Calvin Cycle. Tell why the Calvin Cycle has to occur in order to make carbohydrates.
