Biology Unit 04: Cellular Processes for Energy (10 days)

TEKS

(9)  Science concepts. The student knows the significance of various molecules involved in metabolic processes and energy conversions that occur in living organisms. The student is expected to:

(A)  compare the functions of different types of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids;

(B)  compare the reactants and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of energy, energy conversions and matter; and

(C)  identify and investigate the role of enzymes.
