This engaging REVISION LESSON has been designed to cover the content of topic 13 (Photosynthesis) of the CIE International A-level Biology specification. Filled with a wide range of activities, that include exam questions with explanations, quick tasks and quiz competitions, the students will be motivated whilst they assess their ability to apply their knowledge. Due to the obvious importance of this reaction, assessment questions are extremely common and so a deep understanding of this topic is key to success and the lesson has been designed to cover the important ideas.
The following sub-topics have received particular attention in this lesson:
- Photophosphorylation
- An outline of cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation
- Photolysis of water
- The light dependent reaction
- The structure of the chloroplast and the site of the different reactions
- The Calvin cycle
- The limiting factors of photosynthesis
- Investigating the effect of light intensity using DCPIP as a redox indicator and a Hill suspension
- The effect of temperature on the rate
There is a focus on terminology throughout the lesson so that students are comfortable with the terms that will be encountered in exam questions.
Revision lessons on the other topics of the specification are uploaded so please take a moment to look at those too
