Students will illustrate how autotrophs perform either photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to transform light or inorganic chemicals into chemical energy  through the use of models, diagrams and chemical equations.   Students will provide explanations that cellular respiration and fermentation are chemical processes whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken via multi step pathways into ATP –  resulting in a net transfer of energy.  Students will provide evidence for the cycling of carbon and the flow of energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.  Students will illustrate that the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interdependent in their reactants and products.
