Photosynthesis: Hard Hat Analogy of the Light Reaction

 

Photosystem 2: The Water Splitting Photosystem, absorbs photon and splits water into oxygen hydrogen ion and electrons.  The electrons are passed down the electron transport chain releasing energy that makes ATP by combing ADP and Phosphate. 

The electrons lose their energy but is again energized by photon absorbed by the NADPH making. photosystem.  The electrons pass down the electron transport chain this time making NADPH

Photosynthesis continued.

 For kids at home due to COVID.

Please follow along by reading pages 225 - 230 in the textbook.  The chapter is listed in Google Classroom.

The Stages of Cellular Respiration

 

Grooming Phase happens when pyruvate itself does not enter the citric acid cycle. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and given off as a molecule of CO2. The two carbon compound remaining is oxidized while a molecule of NAD is reduced to NADH ; and a compound called coenzyme A , derived from a B vitamin, joins with the two carbon group to form a molecule called acetyl coenzyme A.
For each molecule of glucose that enters glycolysis, two molecules of pyruvate are produced. These are oxidized, and then two molecules of acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle.

Stage 2: 

The Krebs Cycle also known as the Citric Acid Cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

The Third Stage; The Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis.

Some of the Vitamins and Minerals Needed for Cellular Respiration

This assignment was done on Tuesday, December 14, 2021.

 You will list the vitamins, state the source, the functions and the deficiency symptoms.

The vitamins and minerals to be examined are those that are directly related to the cellular respiration:
Vitamin B1 - Thiamine
Vitamin B 2 - Riboflavin
Vitamin B3  - Niacin
Vitamin B6
Pantothenic acid
Chromium
Iron

Cellular Respiration

 We will start the chapter by doing activities that would have been done mid way through the chapter or at the end.

See home work page for assignment.

In class Activity:

Draw and Label the mitochondrion.  

The Functions of the Plasma Membrane

 The details of the functions of the plasma membrane will be discussed.  We will discuss the details of each protein embedded in the membrane, the function of the glycoprotein, and the function of the cholesterol.

Diffusion and Osmosis

 How molecules move.

The Plasma Membrane

 You will create the plasma membrane and state the functions of the different components. 

Have a great Thanksgiving.

The Working Cell

 Photosynthesis is and example of Endergonic Reaction:

Cellular Respiration is an example of an Exergonic Reaction

Microscope Lab- Monday, November, 8, 2021

Learning How to Use the Compound Light Microscope

Final day to work on the Cell Analogy Project

 The project is due at the end of class, Thursday, November, 4, 2021

Cell Analogy Project

 Cell Analogy Project.(Pictorial representation) Making analogies by comparing the functions of the following organelles to a factory, or any other organization, agency, or.......

Use only the organelles listed below. No credit will be given for organelles not included on the list.

You must draw the item you are comparing the organelles to.

In addition, list the function of the organelle and explain why you think the comparison is similar to the organelle.

Presentation Points (Appearance) 10 Points

Organelles: 1) nucleus, 2) ribosome, 3) mitochondrion

4) rough ER, 5) smooth ER, 6)cytoplasm, 7)Golgi apparatus, 8) vesicle, 9)lysosome,10) cytoskeleton,11)

The Functions of the Organelles.

Nutrient Lab Demonstration and Lab Report.

Test On Monday, October 25th.

 Study guides was posted on the high school's home work page.

There is a video link posted a few days ago.  The video gives an overview of the Macromolecules.

The Carbon Structure for the Macromolecules.

The Hydrocarbons.

You will be introduced to the versatile carbon molecules.

Carbon is able to form single, double, and triple bonds. Carbon compounds can be straight chain, branched or ring.
