UNIT GOAL: Students will identify the important principles of 
           photosynthesis and respiration and the types of plant cells 
           and their role in supporting life forms on earth.

UNIT OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Compare and contrast the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.

2. Write the balanced formulas for both photosynthesis and respiration 
   and discuss how energy is acquired and released through these 
   reactions.

3. List the requirements for photosynthesis and explain what function 
   each performs (e.g., light, heat, CO2, chlorophyll, and water).

4. Describe the functions of various plant cells (e.g., leaf cell, root
   cell, cambium cell).
