OBJECTIVES:

 * To articulate how and why cells store and release energy in chemical form;
 * To apply basic concepts of physics and chemistry to living systems;
 * To separate and analyze the protein-based pigments that make photosynthesis possible.
 * To analyze a controlled experiment demonstrating use of chemical energy by cells.
 * To describe and differentiate the enzyme cascades catalyzing energy transformations in cells;
 * To describe the organelles involved in storage and release of energy within cells;
 * To differentiate various ways in which energy chemicals can be broken down in eukaryotes and prokaryotes;;
 * To list and describe the raw materials and output products of photosynthesis and oxidative processes;

Guided Readings and Reading Assignments

 * Please add a COMPLETE heading! This includes date and class!)**

(Why photosynthesis? What does it do?)

(What are the reactants, products, and major steps in Photosynthesis?)

(What are the reactants, products, and major steps in the Light Reactions?)

(What are the reactants, products, and major steps in the Calvin Reactions?)

(Why is it so important for eukaryotic cells to have sources of chemical energy? How do they use ATP?)

(How do eukaryotes COMPLETELY oxidize energy chemicals in the presence of oxygen?)

Review for Unit Test

 * **If properly-completed, this effort will net the student as many as 40 points extra-credit.**
 * **Use of this document WILL BE PERMITTED during the summative assessment (test).**
 * **While you may PRODUCE this with one partner (no more) you may not share it during the assessment.**
