Video Learning Notes
Photosynthesis is a vital process that cycles matter by converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, and it flows energy by transforming sunlight into chemical energy stored in plants. This process supports life by providing energy and matter to organisms and maintaining ecosystem balance. Constructing scientific explanations with evidence helps us understand these essential biological and ecological processes.
Learning Goals
- Explain how photosynthesis contributes to the cycling of matter in organisms and ecosystems.
- Describe how energy from sunlight flows into organisms through photosynthesis and flows out through other processes.
- Construct a scientific explanation using evidence to support the role of photosynthesis in matter and energy cycling.
