I have given 2 examples below – biosphere and Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration
Chapter 1 Energy Transfer in the Biosphere
Biosphere – The places that make up Earth; Atmosphere(Air), lithosphere(Land), hydrosphere(Water)
Food chains and Food Webs –
Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration –
Cellular respiration; C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ?? 6CO2(g) + 6H2O + Energy
Photosynthesis; 6C02(g) + 6H2O + light energy ?? C6H12O(s) + 6O2(g)
Chemosynthetic –
How does energy enter and transform
Laws of thermodynamics
Tropic levels
Ecological pyramids /Energy pyramids/Pyramid of Biomass/pyramid of numbers
Consumer type- primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
Heterotrophic, autotrophs, decomposers, producers, consumers

Chapter 5 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
photosynthesis
cellular respiration
chloroplast

metabolism
reducing power
ADP
ATP
Pyruvate
compare and summarize the essential features of chloroplasts and mitochondria in relation to the role of photosynthesis in storing energy and the role of cellular respiration in releasing energy
summarize and explain the role of ATP in cellular metabolism
Aerobic and anerobic respiration, fermentation
how pigments absorb light energy and transfer it as reducing power in NADPH
how chemiosmosis converts the reducing power of NADH and FADH2 to the chemical potential of ATP
describe where the energy transfer processes take place in chloroplasts
how scientific knowledge may lead to the development of new technologies
photosynthetic mechanisms
light-dependent reactions
light-independent reactions
electron transport system
photosystems
chemiosmosis

Calvin-Benson cycle
How carbohydrates are oxidized by glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to produce reducing power in NADH and FADH2 and chemical potential in ATP
the action of metabolic toxins such as hydrogen sulfide and cyanide
glycolysis
electron transport system
