Cell Processes - Putting it all Together.

Students working on chemical formula puzzles today in class.

Using these two images think about how the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are cyclical; that is how one connects to the other.

Comparing Photosynthesis and Respiration 

This is a great review for Friday's Quiz!

Here is a helpful video on the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration:

Here is a video on the processes of photosynthesis. Most of the stuff is "Want to know" rather than "Need to know". If you feel like you've got everything down and want to see the next level check it out! Hank Green is cool, but why does everyone talk so fast?

Be sure to spend some quality, focused time studying each night!

Continue Cell Energy- Cellular Respiration

Today in class, we will begin to shift our focus from photosynthesis to the process in which energy is made, cellular respiration. Let's start by reviewing the section in the Science Explorer text on the topic.

Think about the Inputs and Outputs that allow life to occur.

Think about what goes in (reactants) to Photosynthesis and what comes out (products).

Cellular Energy and Processes

Photosynthesis & Respiration Introduction

Today in science we introduced our new unit on Photosynthesis.  Photosynthesis is the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make its own food (a type of sugar called glucose).

As a class we focused on a few key terms to know when learning about photosynthesis such as autotrophs, heterotrophs, pigments, chlorophyll, and stomata.

Tomorrow, we will start to dive deeper into the the process of photosynthesis.  The reading for tonight will help reinforce our new understanding of how organisms get energy.  The reading will also introduce the two stages of photosynthesis.

Here is the link for the reading from our Science Explorer text.

Here is a great three minute video from Discovery's "Greatest Scientific Discovery" series that will introduce the experiments that enabled Priestly and Ingenhousz to "discover" photosynthesis.
