ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
AND TUTORIALS
- What the Heck is an Enzyme?
- Microbiologist Jack Brown uses amusing analogies and examples
to explain the function of enzymes.
- Acid and Base pH Tutorial
- A detailed, straightforward review of acid-base chemistry,
ideal for teachers or advanced students.
- National Science Education Standards
- This section of the National Science Education Standards
from the National Academy of Sciences shows how the history of
photosynthesis research can be used to show the development of
scientific knowledge.
- The Photosynthetic Process
- This paper was published as part of the Encyclopedia of
Applied Physics by professors at the University of Illinois.
It includes information on the classification of photosynthetic
organisms, the difference between oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis,
and the effects of photosynthesis on the atmosphere.
- Glucose Metabolism
- For an illustration of the Krebs cycle in its entirety, see
this page from the University of California, San Diego.
- Photosynthesis Multimedia Textbook Demo
- Watch the molecules of photosynthesis shuffle and change
with this freeware animation. While the graphics of the molecular
reactions are terrific, be prepared to provide your own narration,
as this demo lacks sound and text.
