Photosynthesis: Using Light to Make Food

We will discuss the test results and discuss the energy needs assignment.  We will also examine the vitamins and minerals that are needed to create the coenzymes needed for cellular respiration.  This is from the chart you copied on Monday.

Some of the Vitamins and Minerals Needed for Cellular Respiration

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 Flow Chart with Answers

The district's email is still down.  Therefore, I am unable to connect to Google Classroom because the account is associated with district's site.  However, I am posting the Cellular Respiration Flow chart here.  Please forward the information to your classmates and friends in the advanced biology classes.

Calorimetric Lab

You will work in your lab groups to calculate the calories in cheetos and tortilla chips.
You will use a rudimentary calorimeter to measure the calories.

Fermentation

Certain bacteria that produce lactic acid as a waste product during fermentation are important to the food industry. Fermentation by these bacteria produce cheese, yogurt, pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi.

Alcoholic fermentation is carried out by yeast producing ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.  Alcoholic fermentation is used to produce beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages. It is also a process that causes bread dough to rise.  Since the yeast quickly use up the oxygen dissolved in the dough, they switch over to fermentation, giving off tiny bubble of carbon dioxide.




The Stages of Cellular Respiration

Stage 1:

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.

Cellular Respiration

Several of the vocabulary words will be discussed in details to lay the foundation to help you understand the process of cellular respiration. 



In addition, you will take notes from the PowerPoint and speak briefly about blood doping.  The link will be posted below for those who are interested in learning more.

Introduction to Cellular Respiration

  Equation representing cellular respiration:  The equation is REDOX reaction.   (LEO the lion says GER).  Loss of electron is oxidation.  Gain of electron is reduction.

Chapter 6: How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy

To understand this chapter you will need to start preparing immediately. Divide the work into manageable chunks.  Follow along in class, read the sections covered at home and ask questions.

Introduction:

The energy value of food is determined by burning the food and measuring the energy that is released as heat.  Food and other fuels are rated by how much energy a certain mass of the fuel gives off as heat when burned.
Calorie ( c)  and kilocalorie ( C ), are units of energy.  With the International System of Units (SI),  a quantity of heat is measured in joules, the SI unit for all forms of energy.
1 calorie = 4.184 J.

Home Work:  Dietary log of you food intake for three day is due tomorrow. 


 Below is a drawing of the Mitochondrion.   Knowing the design will assist you with understanding the process of creation of energy by the cell.

Test on the Working Cell

Multiple choice test.

Make up for the Permeability Lab is today during advisory.

Chapter 5 Packet is Due

Packet to be graded

Make up for the permeability lab is on Tuesday, November 5, 2019 during advisory.

Home Work:  You will make a dietary log of you food intake for three day.  Click on the home work page for the details.

In addition, you will practice some tonicity worksheets.

Tonicity is a measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient; the water potential of two solutions separated by a semipermeable cell membrane. In other words, tonicity is the relative concentration of solutes dissolved in solution which determine the direction and extent of diffusion.

Permeability Lab

You will work in groups of 4 to test the permeability of the dialysis tubing.  You will use two different solutions to make a "cell". The dialysis tubing will represent the plasma membrane.
