07.0.13.9.3 -- Students will describe how energy changes can be related to structural processes and modifications at the atomic and molecular levels



Why is glucose not useful as a direct source of energy to run cell activities?
How does cellular respiration differ in the presence and absence of oxygen?
What is the structure of the mitochondria that allow efficient aerobic cellular respiration?
What are the processes by which the cellular respiratory mechanism converts the chemical bond energy of simple sugars into the cell's energy currency, ATP?
What are some of the factors that could affect this energy process?



1. Purpose for decomposition of organic food molecules
2. Conditions of cellular respiration: anaerobic vs. aerobic
3. Structure/Function of Mitochondria
5. Stages/descriptions/final products of Aerobic Respiration and equation
A. Glycolysis
B. Krebs Cycle
C. Electron transport system
7. Anaerobic and aerobic reactions with emphasis on reactants and products for each of these stages; special attention to ATP production
8. Respiratory process involves a multiple of alternative pathways
A. Creatine Phosphate
B. Fermentation
i. alcoholic: equation and human uses of products
ii. lactic acid: equation and role in the human muscular system




Students in Biology will develop the ability to:
1. Recognize the significance of energy storage within chemical bonds for living systems,
2. Describe the structure/function of mitochondria,
3. Identify reactants/products cellular respiration
A. Aerobic
B. Anaerobic: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation, Creatine Phosphate,
4. Describe the steps of aerobic cellular respiration and purpose of the products of each step toward the overall goal of usable energy stored in an ATP molecule
A. Glycolysis
B. Krebs cycle
C. Electron transport system,
5. Utlize diagrams in explaining the process of aerobic cellular respiration,
6. What factors affect the process of cellular respiration and amount of ATP produced.



1. Experimentation of factors affecting cellular respiration (pH, temperature, sugar type)
2. The construction of food calorimeter to quantify energy storage in foods
3. Tiny bubbles (alcoholic fermentation) laboratory
