Module 5 ~ Lesson 1
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
In Unit B you learned that photosynthesis and cellular respiration influence the cycling of matter and the transformation of energy in the biosphere. In order to learn more about these processes, you will need to review your understanding of cells and cellular transport. You will also be introduced to ATP, which is involved in photosynthesis and cellular respiration, as well as energy pathways, such as electron transport chains. These bits of information will help you understand the concepts in the following lessons.
In this lesson, you will explore the following essential question:
- What pathways do energy and matter follow in living organisms?
