Presentation transcript:

Evolution connection: Photosynthesis I Learning goals: Students will understand that 1) when photosynthesis evolved, there was little oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere, 2) photosynthesis is responsible for the increase in oxygen in the atmosphere, 3) the non-specific nature of the enzyme RUBISCO is an evolutionary relic of the low-oxygen atmosphere of early Earth, and 4) C 4 and CAM photosynthesis are adaptations that allow plants to sidestep the constraints imposed by these relics. For the instructor: This short slide set explains the existence of photorespiration using evolutionary theory. To integrate it best, use these slides immediately after you’ve discussed basic photosynthesis and photorespiration, as an introduction to C 4 and CAM carbon fixation. Each of the following slides comes with a sample script for the instructor. To review this script, download the PowerPoint file and view the Notes associated with each slide.
