| 5) Check out the pictures on pg. 99 in your alligator text. What are diatoms? Why are they so important?
Activity #3: The ATP Write this down: �Energy changes in living cells tend to proceed spontaneously in the direction that results in a decrease in usable energy.� 1) What do you think that statement means? 2) Using the stick figure in ACT #1 as an example. How are carbon dioxide and water combined to create potential or chemical energy? 3) Look on pg. 100 alligator text. Draw both the ATP and ADP molecules. Next, look on pg. 101. Summarize the differences between ATP and ADP molecules. 4) What is ATP? What does it do? Act#4: Overview of Aerobic Respiration or Cellular Respiration 1) Respiration is the term that is often used as a synonym for breathing. How are breathing and cellular respiration related? 2) What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? 3) What happens during GLYCOLYSIS? 4) What happens during AEROBIC RESPIRATION? 5) Is respiration an aerobic process or a anaerobic process? 6) In what part of the cell does each of the following take place? a. glycolysis b. Kreb�s cycle c. Electron Transport 7) Using pictures on pg. 114, make a sketch in your notebook, which shows a mitochondrion (singular of mitochondria). The mitochondrion consists of 2 membranes and these series of folds are called cristae. Label the outer membrane, inner membrane, and cristae. Label also where glycolysis, the kreb�s cycle, and electron transport chain would occur. |
