Describe how producers manufacture glucose via photosynthesis, utilizing it for cellular respiration, starch storage, or combining it with environmental elements to build essential biomass (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins).
Understand that photosynthesis encompasses multiple enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions, which can be summarized into two primary stages.
Apply the inverse square law to understand how light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source.
