Student Learning Map Unit 3
Grade Level: High School
Subject: Biology I Honors
Plant Structure & Cellular Energy
UNIT/ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE:
Unit Essential Question:
• How are plant organs related to their functions?
• How do organisms get and use energy?
Key Learning Statement:
In autotrophs, photosynthesis transforms sunlight into food
energy; cellular respiration releases the energy. Heterotrophic
organisms process food energy either through cellular respiration
or fermentation. Both processes produce usable energy in the
form of ATP.
Lesson Essential Questions
Know
Energy for Heterotrophs
• How is food energy processed aerobically
and anaerobically?
• How are the processes of photosynthesis
and cellular respiration related?
Plants
• What are the functions of major plant
tissues and organs?

Photosynthesis
• How do organisms convert sunlight into
chemical energy?
