 I think photosynthesis should still be included in the intro bio syllabus. As we discussed in class, photosynthesis isn't a process that is independent from everything else in biology; it is related to how we think about animals and respiration. Overall, I think it is important for an introductory course to show students examples of processes from different areas of biology because I think a good scientist is well rounded. A good scientist can take information and concepts from other areas and try to apply them to whatever subject he/she is interested in. We've talked about how co-constructive inquiry can happen between people, but I also think a form of co-constructive inquiry can happen between fields or even different areas of biology.
