General Outcome 1
Students will relate photosynthesis to storage of energy in organic compounds.
Specific Outcomes for Knowledge
Students will:
- explain, in general terms, how energy is absorbed by pigments, transferred through the
reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to NADPH, and then
transferred as chemical potential energy to ATP by chemiosmosis; and describe where in
the chloroplast these processes occur
- explain, in general terms, how the products of the light-dependent reactions, NADPH and
ATP, are used to reduce carbon in the light-independent reactions for the production of
glucose; and describe where in the chloroplast these processes occur.
