In this unit we will:
1. Evaluate the link between carbohydrates, the flow of energy, and the cycling of matter.
2. Examine the relationship between enzyme specificity and cellular function.
3. Analyze the overall reaction for photosynthesis and cellular respiration and the factors that affect their rates.
4. Compare photosynthesis & respiration: how is energy stored, released and transferred within and between these systems.
5. Compare the efficiency of ATP formation in various environments.
6. Conclude that energy production is necessary for life.
7. Explain ways that organisms use released energy to maintain homeostasis.

Connection to Evolution:
- How have plants evolved to survive in diverse climates (arid environments and arctic tundra)?
- How have different organisms evolved to take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide?
