Students scoring below a 36 (60/D overall grade) on Common Assessment 3.1 must complete the following assignment to be eligible for the remediation assessment. Any students who scored above a 36 (60/D overall grade) this assignment is optional, but highly recommended.
PART 1:
Recall that energy flows and that nutrients cycle through the biosphere. How does the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration impact the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients? (see Chapter 3 to help answer your question)
[SC.912.L.18.9 Explain the interrelated nature of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.]
PART 2:
Prepare a diagram showing the main events of the process of photosynthesis. For each event, show the reactants and products and where in the chloroplast the event occurs.
[SC.912.L.18.7 Identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of photosynthesis.]
PART 3:
Prepare a diagram showing the main events of the process of cellular respiration. For each event, show the reactants and products and where in the mitochondrion the event occurs.
[SC.912.L.18.8 Identify the reactants, products, and basic functions of aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.]
PART 4:
Prepare a diagram showing how water moves through a plant, drawing specific attention to the anatomical structures (such as, but not limited to: casparian strip, palisade mesophyll, guard cells, etc) that make water movement possible. Be sure in your diagram to identify and describe where specific actions occur (such as, but not limited to: transpiration, capillary action, etc).
[SC.912.L.14.7 Relate the structure of each of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological processes.]
