Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration:
"Overview of Photosynthesis" by FragranceX explains process in which organisms convert light energy from sunlight into chemical energy.
"What is Photosynthesis?" by Aparna Vidyasagar. This gives an excellent overview of photosynthesis and is a wonderful refresher.
"Photosynthesis and the "Z"-Scheme" by Govindjee and Rajni Govindjee articulates the introduction of photosynthesis with an emphasis on the Z-scheme.
"The Z-Scheme Diagram of Photosynthesis" is an additional diagram of Photosystem II and Photosystem I designed to help students visualize the Z-Scheme.
"Flying Turtle" explains photosynthesis in a creative and easily understood manner. The entire site is quite humorous and we recommend it highly.
"Why Study Photosynthesis" By Devens Gust. Devens Gust is the Foundation Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at ASU CLAS. He has served as the Director of the Photosynthesis Research Center at ASU. Through this essay, he shows how students can use photosynthesis as a means to learn about many areas that may not seem to be linked to photosynthesis.
"National Science Education Standards" is an inevitable guide for educators explaining the significance of science literacy regarding photosynthesis.
"Science Made Simple" has many items of interest to teachers, including the very popular "Why Do Leaves Change Color in the Fall?" which is available as a free sample on their website.
"53 Sources for Climate Change News" contains information about the climate change and its controversy.
"Energy Kids" By The U.S. Energy Information Administration of the Department of Energy. It contains good introductions to many solar energy subjects such as biomass, biofuels, hydrogen and non-biological energy.
Below are brief quizzes to test your knowledge on photosynthesis. They are recommended for those who have a solid understanding of the subject.
Quiz 1 is a 36 question multiple choice quiz presented by McGraw-Hill
Quiz 2 is a 10 question multiple choice quiz presented by Pearson
Quiz 3 is 7 question multiple choice quiz presented by BBC
