Unit 5 Cell Metabolism
Learning Targets
"Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only changed in form." First Law of Thermodynamics.
Learning targets written in italics pertain to Honors Biology students.
#1. How do cells use metabolic pathways to provide energy?
ATP, Enzymes and Buffers
A. I can list the basic components of an ATP molecule and draw them properly connected. I can demonstrate how an
ATP molecule (serves as an energy shuttle in the cell. / is made and broken down for energy.)
B. I can use a graph to show how enzymes affect the energy of activation needed for metabolism.
C. I can explain the importance of buffers to the enzymes that catalyze metabolism.
D. I can demonstrate how metabolism occurs as a series of coupled reactions by drawing a labeled diagram.
Glycolysis and Fermentation
E. I can state the overall goal of fermentation (anaerobic respiration) and where it occurs; I can discuss the different
types of anaerobic respiration.
Cellular Respiration
F. I can state the overall goal of aerobic cell respiration, the organelle in which it occurs, and its stages.
G. I can list the beginning and ending molecules and their roles for each of the three stages of cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis
H. I can state the overall goal of photosynthesis, the organelle in which it occurs, and its two main stages.
I. I can list the beginning and ending molecules and their roles for each of the two stages of photosynthesis.
Summary
J. I can compare and contrast photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
K. I can explain how cellular respiration and photosynthesis convert energy while conserving matter.
L. I can trace the path of energy (energized e- & H+ gradient) through metabolism.
M. I can explain how the anatomy of a mitochondrion and a chloroplast allows them to function.
Vocabulary: metabolic pathway, anabolism, catabolism, glycolysis, lactic acid fermentation, alcohol fermentation,
cellular respiration, photosynthesis, electron carriers, electron transport chain, hydrogen ion gradient, ATP synthase.
#2. How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis interdependent?
B. I can use a model to explain how cellular respiration and photosynthesis are examples of interdependence.
C. I can explain the roles of autotrophs (producers) and heterotrophs (consumers) in how energy is transferred in
nature.
D. I can discuss how the molecules of the water cycle and carbon cycle are conserved as they move through living and
nonliving factors.
Vocabulary: food chains, food webs, food pyramids, trophic levels, biomass, interdependence
#3. I can describe the evolutionary significance of glycolysis, fermentation, photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
1. I can explain why life would probably NOT have evolved had free oxygen (O 2) been present in the atmosphere.
2. I can describe the first life on the planet, how it harnessed energy and I can give an example of a modern analog.
3. I can provide evidence to support the claim that glycolysis is an evolutionary relic.
4. I can compare the amount of ATP produced by anaerobic respiration with that of aerobic respiration and infer the
impact this adaptive advantage had on life after aerobic respiration evolved.
5. I can provide evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotic cells.
6. I can explain and provide evidence for the endosymbiotic theory for the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts.
