Preparation: Please review the notes from D2L as well as the presentations provided in the unit plan to complete this assessment. Visual Representation: Please choose a few diagrams from the presentation, online or D2L that clearly illustrates the processes of cellular respiration. You would need an annotated diagram to explain the processes of cellular respiration which include the following: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, krebs cycle, electron transport chain, anaerobic fermentation. Your diagram can be presented in any way that you choose. Recording: Using your diagram as a reference, please explain each of the processes in your own words using the key vocabulary learned in class. The major concepts have been highlighted in the presentation as well. You can use the screen recording feature, loom, canva and many more digital tools. In your recording, please make connections and relate concepts to real life examples. Checklist: Include steps in glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, krebs cycle, electron transport chain, anaerobic fermentation using an annotated diagram Clearly follow and comment on the number of carbons in each stage Use key scientific terms included in the presentation to explain processes Make real-life connections Demonstrates a thorough understanding of and ability to apply course concepts Information is presented in a clear, coherent, and well organized manner Terminology from course is used with a high degree of accuracy
Electron Transport Chain
The electron transport chain, also known as the electron transport system, is a group of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to create a gradient of protons that drives adenosine triphosphate (ATP)synthesis. The cell uses ATP as an energy source for metabolic processes and cellular functions. ETC involves series of reactions that convert redox energy from NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H)) and FADH2(flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)) oxidation into proton-motive force(PMF), which is then used to synthesize ATP through conformational changes in the ATP synthase complex, a process known as oxidative phosphorylation.
Metabolism
Picture a campfire. It keeps the body warm on a cold night and provides light. To ensure that the fire keeps burning, fuel needs to be added(pieces of wood in this case). When a small piece is added, the fire burns bright for a bit and then dies down unless more wood is added. But, if too many pieces are placed at a time, the fire escalates and burns for a longer time, without actually burning away all the pieces that have been added. Many of them, especially the larger chunks or damp pieces, remain unburnt.
Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is the cellular process involved in the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules from the organic nutritional source obtained from the diet. It is a universal process observed in all types of life forms. The glucose (chemical formula C6H12O6) molecules are the preferred raw material for cell respiration as it possesses a simple structure and is highly efficient in nature.
