Quarter 4

McGraw Hill Module 2

enzymatic processes and the atoms involved are used to make carbohydrates, proteins, fats/lipids, and nucleic acids. (LS1.C) Bio 2.3 - Develop and use a model to illustrate the cycling of matter and fow of energy through living things by the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Emphasize how the products of one reaction are the reactants of the other and how the energy transfers in these reactions. (PS3.D, LS1.C, LS2.B) ● Cycling of Matter and Flow of Energy in Ecosystem ● Movement of Matter and Energy Through Living Organisms ● Carbon Cycle and How It Relates to Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration ● Organisms are made up of Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen andCarbon ● Matter is taken into an organism and broken down into macromolecules CONCEPTS (Nouns)

● I understand how matter fows through an ecosystem. ● I understand how energy fows through an ecosystem.
