Photosynthesis, aerobic respiration, fermentation and ATP

What this note covers

1. Trace energy and matter separately through living systems
2. Photosynthesis stores some incoming light energy chemically
3. Aerobic respiration transfers chemical energy into usable forms
4. Fermentation permits a smaller ATP yield without oxygen use
5. ATP couples energy-releasing and energy-requiring processes
6. Use controlled measurements to infer energy-transforming rates
7. Separating gross photosynthesis from the net gas exchange measured
8. Explaining why fermentation permits continued glycolysis
