These expectations are found on page 80 of the Ontario Ministry of Education Secondary School Science Curriculum
Overall Expectations:
C1. analyse the role of metabolic processes in the functioning of biotic and abiotic systems, and evaluate the importance of an understanding of these processes and related technologies to personal choices made in everyday life
C2. investigate the products of metabolic processes such as cellular respiration and photosynthesis
C3. demonstrate an understanding of the chemical changes and energy conversions that occur in metabolic processes
Specific Expectations:
C1.2 Assess the relevance, to their personal lives and the community, of an understanding of cell biology and related technologies
C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to metabolism, including, but not limited to: energy carriers, electron transport chain, ATP synthase, oxidative phosphorylation,chemiosmosis, proton pump, photolysis, Calvin cycle, light and dark reactions, and cyclic and noncyclic phosphorylation [C]
C2.3 conduct a laboratory investigation of the process of photosynthesis to identify the products of the process, interpret the qualitative observations, and display them in an appropriate format [PR, AI, C]
C3.2 explain the chemical changes and energy conversions associated with the process of photosynthesis (e.g., carbon dioxide and water react with sunlight
C3.3 use the laws of thermodynamics to explain energy transfer in the cell during the processes of photosynthesis
C3.4 describe, compare, and illustrate (e.g., using flow charts) the matter and energy transformations that occur during the processes of photosynthesis, including the roles of oxygen and organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts
