- Whiteboard recap of key words relating to light dependent stage - Whiteboard recap of light independent stage including the terms "carbon fixation step" - Analysis of graphs showing the relative abundances of GP and TP in light and dark conditions: - GP increases because the conversion of GP to TP requires the products of the light dependent reactions - The carbon fixation step DOES NOT require these products and hence the levels of RuBP drop Photosynthetic pigments - Explanation of the need for additional photosynthetic pigments using the idea of red seaweed as an example Limiting Factors - Identification of temperature, light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration as the main limiting factors of photosynthesis MINI TEST TOPIC - Classification and Evolution
