Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Topic: Concept
Chapter 10 Photosynthesis 10.1
Students find this chapter quite challenging. Fortu-
nately, some of the key concepts, such as chemiosmo-
sis and redox, were discussed previously in the chap-
ter on respiration and fermentation. The new key con-
cepts are light as energy, light absorption and energy
conversion by pigments, and linear and cyclic elec-
tron flow. Students are challenged to identify the rela-
tionships between the light reactions and the Calvin
cycle, as well as the adaptive significance of C4 and
CAM pathways. Comparison and contrast between
photosynthesis and respiration, the significance of
photosynthesis to Earth history and evolution of life,
and the role of photosynthesis in global carbon cycles
and environmental change are important topics to
engage students.
