AIM: Have students understand how cells produce the energy necessary to maintain the high level of organization exhibited by living systems.

RATIONALE: Living systems are highly organized. To maintain such a high level of organization, cells must be able to supply chemical energy to drive synthetic reactions.

OBJECTIVES:
1. Students will be able to explain the overall consequences of photosynthesis.

2. Students will be able to describe the substrates and products of the "light reaction"; Students will be able to explain how these changes occur.

3. Students will be able to describe the substrates and products of the Calvin Cycle; Students will be able to explain how these changes occur.

4. Students will be able to differentiate between anaerobic and aerobic reactions.

5. Students will be able to describe the substrates and products of Glyclosis; Students will be to explains how these changes occur.

6. Students will be able to describe the substrates and products of the KrebsCycle; Students will be able to explain how and where these changes occur.

7. Students will be able to explain the events which occur during the Electron Transport System; Students will be able to identify where in the cell and under what conditions this process occurs
