HS-LS2-5
Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.
Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include simulations and mathematical models.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the specific chemical steps of photosynthesis and respiration.
