Water and carbon dioxide are the raw ingredients for photosynthesis. Plants use energy from sunlight to rearrange the atoms of water and carbon dioxide, producing glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is used by both plant and animal cells during cellular respiration to release the energy stored in glucose. The released energy enables cells to produce ATP. Cellular respiration also produces carbon dioxide and water. The result is a continual cycling of these chemical ingredients. Assignments: Poster: Create a poster showing the photosynthesis / respiration cycle including all the reactants, products and stages. Use visuals to communicate ideas. Narrative: Write a story tracing the path of each of the following through the photosynthesis / respiration cycle: O, C, N and energy Role-Play: Create nametags for each person in your group. One person is the narrator. Enact the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.
