1. Biology Journal 3/29/2010 Yesterday you put yeast and sugar in a flask, What chemical reaction was going on inside of the flasks yesterday? What products did you make?

2. Which of these substances could we actually measure to determine the rate of photosynthesis? (hint: what did we measure in the cricket lab?) What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis? (write out the chemical formula and the words) 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Carbon dioxideOxygenWaterGlucose ++→ Write a hypothesis for the relationship between light intensity and rate of photosynthesis. CO 2 consumed, glucose generated (biomass), and O 2 generated (H 2 O is a little too tricky to measure) If 100 plants are grown under different light intensities, then there will be a positive correlation between light intensity and photosynthetic rate, until reaching a plateau.

3. Biology Journal 9/13/2013 What are the three fossil fuels? Where do you think the carbon in fossil fuels came from? When you burn them, what happens?

4. Biology Journal 12/5/2013 What is the chemical reaction for cellular respiration? C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 → CO 2 + H 2 O What is the purpose of cellular respiration and where does it happen? The purpose of it is to make energy and it happens in the mitochondria of eukaryotes

5. Biology Journal 10/17/2014 What’s the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? What is the difference between ADP and ATP? Got O 2 ?

6. Biology Journal 12/6/2013 What’s the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? What is the difference between ADP and ATP? Aerobic respiration happens in the mitochondria, requires oxygen, and delivers more energy (high ATP yield). Anaerobic respiration happens in the cytoplasm, does not require oxygen, and delivers less energy (low ATP yield). ATP has 3 phosphates, and is a high energy molecule used for the temporary storage of energy. ADP has 2 phosphates, and is a molecule that does not have energy, it must be converted back into ATP through an energy- producing chemical reaction such as cellular respiration.

10. Title the Lab, “Cellular Respiration in Crickets” Do the Pre-Lab questions (part 1) Do the Pre-Lab questions (part 2) Write a procedure for the lab by summarizing the directions from the handout. Read the entire lab. Then, in your composition notebook…

11. Biology Journal 10/17/2014 What is the purpose of the cotton? What is the purpose of the rayon? What is the purpose of NaOH (the directions say “KOH”) Cotton is absorbent and holds the NaOH.

21. 2.8 Cell respiration: Cell respiration supplies energy for the functions of life. Nature of science: Assessing the ethics of scientific research—the use of invertebrates in respirometer experiments has ethical implications. Understandings:  Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP.  ATP from cell respiration is immediately available as a source of energy in the cell.  Anaerobic cell respiration gives a small yield of ATP from glucose.  Aerobic cell respiration requires oxygen and gives a large yield of ATP from glucose.  Details of the metabolic pathways of cell respiration are not needed but the substrates and final waste products should be known. Applications and skills:  Application: Use of anaerobic cell respiration in yeasts to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide in baking.  Application: Lactate production in humans when anaerobic respiration is used to maximize the power of muscle contractions.  Skill: Analysis of results from experiments involving measurement of respiration rates in germinating seeds or invertebrates using a respirometer. Students are expected to know that an alkali is used to absorb CO 2, so reductions in volume are due to oxygen use. Temperature should be kept constant to avoid volume changes due to temperature fluctuations. The ethics of the use of animals in experiments could be discussed in relation to respirometer experiments. Topic 2: Molecular biology (21 hours)

24. Cellular respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic molecules in cells to form ATP. Such as… What are these molecules? Sugar(glucose) Lipid(triglyceride) Protein (this is a dipeptide)

25. Gas exchange is the diffusion of gasses (such as O 2 and CO 2 ) between the air in the lungs and the blood. Above: You think your life is hard? Some New Your City child laborers take a break, probably in the 1910’s.

26. Ventilation is how the muscles (diaphragm and intercostals [ribs]) move to push air into and out of the lungs.

27. ATP = Adenosine triphosphate. High energy. Temporary storage of energy. ADP = Adenosine diphosphate. Low energy. Can be “recharged” by re-attaching another phosphate. Program showing how food makes ATP, and it is burned to do cellular work. http://www.biologyinmotion.com/atp/index.html

51. 2.9 Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis uses the energy in sunlight to produce the chemical energy needed for life. Nature of science: Experimental design—controlling relevant variables in photosynthesis experiments is essential. Understandings:  Photosynthesis is the production of carbon compounds in cells using light energy.  Visible light has a range of wavelengths with violet the shortest wavelength and red the longest. Visible light has wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometres, but they are not expected to recall the wavelengths of specific colours of light.  Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light most effectively and reflects green light more than other colours.  Oxygen is produced in photosynthesis from the photolysis of water.  Energy is needed to produce carbohydrates and other carbon compounds from carbon dioxide.  Temperature, light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration are possible limiting factors on the rate of photosynthesis. Applications and skills:  Application: Changes to the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and rock deposition due to photosynthesis.  Skill: Drawing an absorption spectrum for chlorophyll and an action spectrum for photosynthesis.  Skill: Design of experiments to investigate the effect of limiting factors on photosynthesis. PRACTICAL: Separation of photosynthetic pigments by chromatograph. Paper chromatography can be used to separate photosynthetic pigments but thin layer chromatography gives better results.
