Code Content Expectation** Explain how cells transform energy (ultimately obtained from the sun) from one form to another through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Identify the reactants and products in the general reaction of photosynthesis. Compare and contrast the transformation of matter and energy during photosynthesis and respiration. Cell Specialization In multicellular organisms, specialized cells perform specialized functions. Organs and organ systems are composed of cells and function to serve the needs of cells for food, air, and waste removal. The way in which cells function is similar in all living organisms. Explain how cellular respiration is important for the production of ATP (build on aerobic vs. anaerobic). Describe how energy is transferred and transformed from the Sun to energy-rich molecules during photosynthesis. Describe how individual cells break down energy-rich molecules to provide energy for cell functions. Explain the interrelated nature of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of ATP synthesis and degradation. Relate plant structures and functions to the process of photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis and Respiration Organisms acquire their energy directly or indirectly from sunlight. Plants capture the Sun’s energy and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Through the process of cellular respiration, animals are able to release the energy stored in the molecules produced by plants and use it for cellular processes, producing carbon dioxide and water. Describe how organisms acquire energy directly or indirectly from sunlight. Illustrate and describe the energy conversions that occur during photosynthesis and respiration. (also repeated in Ecology) Recognize the equations for photosynthesis and respiration and identify the reactants and products for both. (also repeated in Ecology) Explain how living organisms gain and use mass through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Write the chemical equation for photosynthesis and cellular respiration and explain in words what they mean. Summarize the process of photosynthesis.
