Answers: Cellular Respiration begins with Glycolysis in the cytoplasm, outside the mitochondria where a little ATP is produced and glucose is split in two. This is followed by the Krebs Cycle in the matrix of the mitochondria which uses the pieces of glucose to make a little more ATP. The third step is the Electron Transport Chain which produces the great majority of ATP for Cell Respiration. A total of about 36 ATP molecules is produced from one glucose molecule.

- Cell. Resp. RELEASES the ENERGY stored in GLUCOSE in the form of ATP (- immediately available energy for cellular processes).

2) What organisms perform Cellular Respiration?

- ALL Eukaryotes perform Cell. Resp. to release the energy stored in glucose. That means PLANTS, also. (So, the 'nergy in glucose is transformed in to ATP - A USABLE FORM!)

3) Where does it take place in a cell?

- Cell. Resp. takes place in the MITOCHONDRIA of all eukaryotic cells (ie, plants, animals, fungi, & protists).

4) What are the three processes that make up Cellular Respiration? - IN ORDER, the 3 processes are:

i) __GLYCOLYSIS__ - which produces a LITTLE ATP, and

ii) __The Krebs Cycle__ -which //also// produces a LITTLE ATP, and then.

iii) __The Electron Transport Chain__ - which produces MOST OF THE ATP of Cellular Respiration.

5) How much energy is produced by Cell Respiration?

- 1 Glucose molecule in Cellular Respiration produces about 36 ATP molecules. So, GLUCOSE HAS 36 __TIMES__ MORE ENERGY THAN ATP.

__//Answers//__//:// // 1) Cellular Respiration releases the energy stored in glucose and transforms it in to ATP. // // 2) ALL eukaryotic living things - those with cellular organelles and a nucleus - perform cellular respiration. // // 3) Cellular Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of plants, animals, and all other eukaryotes. // // 4) The three steps of Cellular Respiration - in order - are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. //

Warm-up! Questions - "Photosynthesis: Pigments and Chromatography" // (Answer the questions below in complete sentences.) //
 * Plant Pigments ** : Plants have four types of pigments that absorb visible light energy. //Chlorophyll “a” and Chlorophyll “b” absorb mostly red and blue light// but not much green. As a result, the green color of plants comes from the //reflection// of green light by chlorophyll. ** Chromatography ** is a process that uses a chemical to separate the substances in a mixture. ( // Ex: The pigments in a leaf can be separated using chromatography.) // You’ll use this technology today to separate the pigments from each other in plant leaf.

1) During what stage of photosynthesis is sunlight absorbed by plant pigments? 2) //Where in a plant cell// does Stage 1 of photosynthesis (the Light Reactions) take place? (Be specific.) 3) //What// happens during the Light Reactions of photosynthesis? (What are the "reactants" and the "products"?)

Answer: 1) Sunlight is absorbed by plant **pigments** during **Stage 1 of photosynthesis**, called "**The Light Reactions**". 2) Stage 1 of photosynthesis - the Light Reactions - take place in the **thylakoids (the chlorophyll filled discs)** of **chloroplasts**. 3) In the Light Reactions, the energy of sunlight **(a reactant)** is used to break down **water (a reactant)** in to **oxygen gas (a waste product)**, and **ATP** molecules, (**the** desired **product).**

 * Agenda **

Warm-up! Questions - "Pedigrees" // (Answer the questions below in complete sentences.) // A Pedigree is a diagram that shows family relationships in several generations. Pedigrees are used to trace/show who possesses a genetic disorder and how it was inherited. This pedigree shows the frequency of Red-Green Colorblindness, which is recessive. (Its gene is located on the X-chromosome; thus, this trait is described as being "sex-linked".)

Copy the pedigree below, and its notes (in blue); then answer the questions about it. 1) What is this diagram called? 2) What is it used for? 3) How many generations are shown in this pedigree? 4) How many male children does the 1st generation mating couple have? 5) What is the gender (&numbers) of **carriers** of an allele for the trait? 6) What is the gender (& numbers) of the **affected** individual(s)? 7) What is the genotype for gender of men and women? (Use X and Y.)

8) Is this gene found on a **sex-chromosome** or an **autosome**? 9) Why are more men affected than women?
 * More Challenging: **

Answers: 1) This family-tree type diagram is called a pedigree. 2) A pedigree is used to show the occurence of a trait in a family and help predict the chance of it being inherited. 3) There are 4 generations shown in this pedigree. 4) The first generation's couple have three male children. 5) Eight females carrie the trait; no males do. 5) Six males and one female are affected. 7) A female's genotype is XX; a male's genotype is XY.

8) Since the gene for Red-Green colorblindness is found on the X chromosome, it is called a "Sex-linked trait". 9) This trait is recessive: therefore, because women have a second X chromosome, they have a chance of having a second, **dominant** allele, which would mask their recessive allele (giving them normal vision). Men get only one X, so if they receive a "sick" allele, they will have the disorder.

Discuss the following: - TYPE of cells produced by each process - Number of times the parent cell divides - Number of offspring (daughter cells) produced - How do the daughter cells compare - genetically - to the parent cell

MITOSIS - First, the **body cell duplicates its DNA** - Then the **body cell divides once** (using Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, & Telophase - PMAT) - This **makes TWO, DIPLOID daughter cells** - The **daughter cells are** **__genetically__** **__identical__ to the parent cell**
 * Happens with** **somatic (body) cells** like nerve, skin, or muscle (NOT reproductive cells)

MEIOSIS - First, the germ cell duplicates its DNA - Then the **germ cell divides once**, (using PMAT): **this is Meiosis 1** - **Meiosis 1 makes two daughter cells** - These daughter cells divide AGAIN, (using PMAT again): this is Meiosis 2; - **Meiosis 2 makes FOUR DIPLOID GAMETES** - The **__GAMETES ARE GENETICALLY UNIQUE__** from the parent cell (and each other)
 * Happens ONLY with germ cells** (cells found only in the reproductive organs: ovaries in women; testes in men)

> Other Students: - finish your projects, then work on Study Island.

__// Answer to Warm-up: //__ // Meiosis and Mitosis are similar - and different - in several ways. //

// They both make new eukaryotic cells (for humans and other multicellular organisms). And both start by first duplicating their DNA and then by dividing in to daughter cells. As well, //// they divide using a similar process: both use the four phases - Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (**PMAT**). That is where the similarities end, however. //// MITOSIS HAPPENS WITH ANY SOMATIC (BODY) CELL - such as a muscle, blood, nerve, bone, heart, liver, or skin cell, for example. THE (somatic) CELL DIVIDES ONCE (going through **PMAT**). As a result, MITOSIS PRODUCES TWO new DIPLOID // 3 **, BODY CELLS** 1 **. BODY CELLS ARE GENETICALLY IDENTICAL TO THE PARENT CELL.**


 * // MEIOSIS, on the other hand, HAPPENS ONLY IN YOUR REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS - the ovaries of women and the testes of men. Here, a "germ" cell //** 2 // duplicates its DNA and then DIVIDES TWO TIMES. (//// **PMAT** happens twice - "Meiosis 1" and "Meiosis 2".) THE RESULT IS FOUR, HAPLOID // 3 // **, GAMETE CELLS (eggs in a woman or sperm in a man).** **GAMETES ARE GENETICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PARENT CELL** // 4 // **.** //

1Remember why? To replace dead cells, to keep you growing, to keep cell size small, and to prevent overworking the DNA. 2The parent cells of eggs and sperm are called "germ" cells. (Germ comes from the word "germinate", which means to grow.) 3Diploid is an adjective that means "having 2 copies of each chromosome".

Warm-up Question(s) - "Enzymes": // (Answer in a complete sentence, restating the question.) // Blocks 2 & 3 1) What is homeostasis? 2) List two conditions that human bodies keep constant. 3) What happens to enzymes when homeostasis is not maintained? Explain, including an example?

Blocks 4 1) What characteristic of enzymes limits the reactions that they can catalyze? 2) What were the Independent (Test) Variable, the Dependent (Responding) Variable, and the Control in the Enzyme lab? 3) List five variables in the enzyme lab were kept constant? 4) Did we repeat the lab to be sure our results were valid (correct)?

// Block 2 & 3 Answers: // // 1&2) Homeostasis - a characteristic of ALL living things - is the maintenance of constant internal body conditions, such as temperature, //// pH (acidity), blood pressure, //// blood sugar level, and blood oxygen level. // // 3) When the temperature or pH of the body becomes extreme - too high or too low, enzymes lose their shape, and stop binding substrates, so chemical reactions slow and stop. Since enzymes catalyze - speed up - most processes in the body, body functions cease - stop. If conditions don't return to normal, the organism will die. //

// Block 4 Answers: // // 1) Enzymes' specific shapes allow their active sites to bind only one or two substrates. // // 2) The Independent Variable was the "type of pineapple" tested; the Dependent Variable was the effect on the gelatin; a control is an untested sample to which the dependent variable is compared. The control in this lab was the unused gelatin in the dish, because we could compare the tested gelatin to the normal gelatin this way. // // 3) A control variable is one that is // not //allowed to change: in the lab, we i. used the same gelatin for all tests, ii. we used the same equipment, iii. we used the same amounts of gelatin and pineapple, iv. we used the same sources of pineapple, vi. we used the same technique.// //4) The class repeated the experiment six or seven times - once for each group.//

Answer: **2-1, 3-1, 4-1:** **The characteristics tested were "the use of energy", "the excretion of waste", "growth & development", "reproduction", and "responding to the environment".** **(**W hen yeast was combined with sugar - an organic molecule, you should have noticed bubbles in the test tube #1: a gas was produced. The gas is (carbon dioxide) waste from yeast's metabolism - digestion - of sugar for energy! The yeast did this once the sugar and water were mixed, and so it "responded" to this change in its environment. Yeast is single-celled and grows by copying itself and splitting in to two new cells, //when it has the energy to do so//.)

Watch video about 'scope parts & proper use.
 * 2-2 & 3-2:**

There are 9: 1) Made of at least one cell; 2) Grow (larger) & Develop (mature); 3) Use energy (to perform metabolism); 4) Reproduce; 5) Respond to their Environment; 6) Made of organic chemicals; 6) Excrete wastes; 8) Maintain "homeostasis" (internal stability) 9) Evolve (adapt to their environment)
