Unit+05a+Photosynthesis+&+Basic+Plant+Structure

**Chapter 5-1, 5-2 and 25** a) Summarize how energy is captured from sunlight in the first stage of photosynthesis. **[|(Click Here For Video)]** b) Analyze the function of electron transport chains in the second stage of photosynthesis. c) Understand the relationship of carbon fixation to the Calvin Cycle in the third stage of photosynthesis. **([|Click Here For Video]!)** d) Identify three environmental factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. **([|Click Here For Video]!)**

 * **// Must Knows //** ||  **//Key Vocabulary//**  ||
 * ==**1) Students will be able to explain how energy is transferred from the sun during the process of photosynthesis.** (Section 5.1 & 5.2 : p. 94-96)==

==**2) Students will be able to understand the tissues and parts of a vascular plant.** (Section 25.1 : p. 552-559) **[|(Click Here For Video)]**== a) The vascular tissue system is made up of two tissues xylem (which conducts water) and phloem (which conducts nutrients). **([|Click Here For Video]!)** b) Leaves are the primary photosynthetic organs of plants. **([|Click Here For Video]!)**

**3) Students will be able to understand how water and nutrients are transported in plants.** (Section 25.2 : p. 560-564)
a) Water is pulled up from the roots and through the vascular system in the stem and leaves by a process called transpiration. **([|Click Here For Video]!)** b) The stoma and guard cells control the amount of transpiration in a plant. **([|Click Here For Video]!)** c) Nutrients move from a source in the leaves and delivered to a sink by a process called translocation. **([|Click Here For Video]!)** || * Pigment
