Oliver Benn - Lesson 23 (College Bio) Intro to Cellular Resp. & Photo.
Week of December 9
Learning Objective: Students will be able to evaluate how energy is released in a cell through
the analysis of textual evidence.
Focus Question: What type of energy is used in cells, and what is the ultimate source of this
energy?
Big Idea 2:
Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Common Core Learning Standards:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important
distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.2 Determine the central ideas
or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but
still accurate terms CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.7 Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and
media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem.
College Board Science Standards:
Essential knowledge 2.A: Growth, reproduction and maintenance of the organization of living systems require free energy and matter
Essential knowledge 2.A.1: All living systems require constant input of free energy. Science Practice 1: The student can use
representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems. Science Practice 3: The student can engage
in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course.Science Practice 5: The student
can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. Science Practice 6: The student can work with scientific explanations and theories.
Science Practice 7: The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts and representations in and across
domains.
Directions: Read and analyze AP Biology textbook (chapter 8), pages 151 – 159, 162,
Living Environment textbook, pages 198-200 and/or conduct online research. Complete
tasks A-C.
2) Explain why organisms need a constant supply of energy AND how they get that
energy. Be specific.
3) Midpoint Check: Keeping in mind today’s learning targets, discuss photosynthesis and
cellular respiration using your analysis and interpretation of the diagrams below.
Re-read and reflect on today’s learning targets. How comfortable are you so far with
today’s learning targets 1 & 2? Check the box that corresponds to your answer.
Learning Targets… Poor (1) Ok (2) Good (3) Very Good (4)
Note: If you evaluated yourself in either the ok or poor column, we suggest checking out
this text to better assist you in your understanding.
2) As a group, do you have questions/doubts? If so, what are they? Write these in the
space below:
3) Assessment Question: a - Study the diagram and conduct research to explain the
process of photosynthesis. b- Discuss how photosynthesis is involved in the flow of
energy in an ecosystem.

1) Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration contribute to the flow of energy in an
ecosystem.
Importance of cellular
respiration and photosynthesis
to organisms and ecosystems.
● by recognizing these processes
maintain the transfer of energy in
ecosystems (between organisms).
Chemical equations of
photosynthesis and cellular
respirations.
● reactants and products in each
process.
How cellular respiration and
photosynthesis are related to
each other.
● by recognizing that the reactants of
one process are the products in the
other.
Note: If you evaluated yourself in either the ok or poor column, we suggest checking out
the resources linked to this task card to better assist you in your understanding.
Underline the
reactants and circle
the products.
When will each
process occur in a
cell/organism?
Where (what
organelle(s) does
each process take
place in)?
Why do organisms
use each process?
