Lesson 1 and 2 - Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration Intro (SL only)
Lesson Objectives
Content Objective: Describe the processes and link between Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration and to be able to draw the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll and and action spectrum of photosynthesis.
Language Objective: Complete the POGIL activity.
Book Reference: 98 - 109
Syllabus Details:
Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP
ATP from cell respiration is immediately available as a source of energy in the cell
Anaerobic cell respiration gives a small yield of ATP from glucose
Aerobic cell respiration requires oxygen and gives a large yield of ATP from glucose
Photosynthesis is the production of carbon compounds in cells using light energy
Oxygen is produced in photosynthesis from the photolysis of water
Energy is needed to produce carbohydrates and other carbon compounds from carbon dioxide
Separation of photosynthetic pigments by chromatography
Visible light has a range of wavelengths with violet the shortest wavelength and red the longest
Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light most effectively and reflects green light more than other colours
Drawing an absorption spectrum for chlorophyll and an action spectrum for photosynthesis
