Topic 5.7: Photosynthesis (Edexcel A-level Biology B)

This bundle contains 5 fully-resourced and highly-detailed lessons which build on the students knowledge of photosynthesis from GCSE and add the fine detail that is critical when tackling questions on this topic in the A-level exams. The lesson PowerPoints and accompanying resources are filled with a wide range of activities that will engage, motivate and challenge the students whilst the detail of the following specification points in topic 5.7 of the Edexcel A-level Biology B course are covered:

• The structure of the chloroplast
• The role of the thylakoid membranes in the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis
• The processes of cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation
• The role of the stroma in the light-independent stage
• The fixation of carbon dioxide
• The use of ATP and reduced NADP from the light-dependent stage in the Calvin cycle
• The use of GALP as a raw material
• The factors that limit photosynthesis
