The two equations & organelle links (every paper)

Balanced equations; organelle; one structure→function sentence.

Process	Raw materials	Products	Site	Energy
Photosynthesis	CO₂ + H₂O	Glucose + O₂	Chloroplast	Light stored (endo)
Aerobic respiration	Glucose + O₂	CO₂ + H₂O	Mitochondrion	ATP released (exo)
Anaerobic (muscle)	Glucose	Lactic acid	Cytoplasm	Small ATP

Leaf cells hold BOTH organelles — respiration continues in the dark.

Merit pattern

"The [organelle] is [structure], which [effect], so [process] works faster / has instructions." Structure → function → purpose.

Practice for this standard covers the whole topic — flashcards and quiz.
