Introduction |
|
3 |
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions - student groups are to revisit their
T-chart from lesson 1 “Endergonic and Exergonic.” You are to read about redox
reactions in the textbook p. 109 and add even more detail |
|
4 |
Chemical
Equations Photosynthesis ↔ Cellular Respiration You are
to then compare the chemical reactions and determine the following (labeling)
endergonic, exergonic, catabolic, anabolic, oxidation and reduction. |
|
5 |
Explore Thermodynamics After sharing out your ideas about equations, there
is a revisit of the ideas of thermodynamics. Student groups then need to add
these concepts to the equation maps.
Think about it… How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration
follow the laws of thermodynamics? What else must be considered when thinking
about these reactions? |
