Lesson | Topic | Statement(s) and Objective(s) | Activities |
1 | Mitochondria | 8.2.U12: The structure of the mitochondria is adapted to the function it performs
8.2.S2: Annotations of a diagram of mitochondria to indicate the adaptations to its function
8.2.A1: Electron tomography used to produce images of active mitochondria
|
Mitochondria handwritten notes Reading: mitochondria gone bad (questions) Info about some mitochondrial diseases Moms’ mitochondria may refresh cells in sick kids |
2 | Review glycolysis and Linking Reaction | 8.2.U5: In aerobic cell respiration pyruvate is decarboxylated and oxidized
8.2.U6: In the link reaction pyruvate is converted into acetyl coenzyme A.

Energy metabolism 1 (vision learning) Scitable: cell respiration Glycolysis and linking handwritten notes Why is Patrick Paralyzed Case study Respiration as a combustion reaction lab |
3 | Kreb’s Cycle |
8.2.U7: In the Krebs cycle, the oxidation of acetyl groups is coupled to the reduction of electron carriers, liberating carbon dioxide
8.2.S1: Analysis of diagrams of the pathways of aerobic respiration to decide where decarboxylation and oxidation reactions occur.
|
|
4 | Electron Transport Chain | 8.2.U8: Energy released by oxidation reactions is carried to the cristae of the mitochondria by reduced NAD and FAD
8.2.U9: Transfer of the electrons between carriers in the electron transport chain in the membrane of the cristae is coupled to proton pumping.
2.8.U4: Aerobic cell respiration requires oxygen and gives a large yield of ATP from glucose
8.2.U11: Oxygen is needed to bind with the free protons to maintain the hydrogen gradient, resulting in the formation of water
|
ETC and chemiosmosis handwritten Energy metabolism II (vision learning) |
5 | Chemiosmosis | 8.2.U10: In chemiosmosis protons diffuse through ATP synthase to generate ATP.
8.2.NOS: Paradigm shift-chemiosmotic theory led to a paradigm shift in the field of bioenergetics.
|
|
6 | Experiments | 2.8.S1: Analysis of results from experiments involving measurement of respiration rates in germinating seeds or invertebrates using a respirometer
2.8.NOS: Assessing the ethics of scientific research- the use of invertebrates in respirometers experiments
