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 flow 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 and Carbon ● Matter is taken into an organism and broken down into macromolecules CONCEPTS (Nouns)

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