Lesson: Photosynthesis Biology

Students will be able to

• state the word and symbol equation for photosynthesis,
• describe photosynthesis as a biological process carried out by producers (primarily plants and algae) to make their own food,
• recall that photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction,
• explain how plants obtain the reactants they require for photosynthesis,
• explain how the sugars produced by photosynthesis are used by plants, including being broken down in cellular respiration and being used to synthesize other biological molecules.
