Unit 3: Cellular Replication

Learning objectives: 

1. Knowledge Outcome: After this unit, students will be able to recall and list the primary components of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, including their key reactants, products, and energy conversions.
2. Comprehension Outcome: By the end of this unit, students will demonstrate an understanding of the core processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, explaining the significance of organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria.
3. Application Outcome: Students will apply their knowledge to write and interpret balanced chemical equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration, showcasing their ability to apply these concepts in practical contexts.
4. Analysis Outcome: After completing this unit, students will be able to analyze and differentiate between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, identifying and explaining the key similarities and differences in terms of inputs, outputs, and energy flow.
5. Evaluation Outcome: Students will evaluate the ecological importance of these processes, assessing their impact on atmospheric composition and their crucial role in maintaining the carbon cycle within ecosystems.
6. Synthesis Outcome: By the end of the unit, students will be able to synthesize their understanding by creating a conceptual model or diagram that illustrates the interconnectedness of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, demonstrating their ability to integrate and apply knowledge.
