Biology
Activity: Cell Respiration Diagram
Name: ________________________
Complete the following on the piece of paper provided:
1. At the top of the paper, write the summative equation for cellular respiration (BIG).
2. Draw a large heterotroph on the paper. Remember that a heterotroph is a consumer.
3. Create a “zoom window” into the heterotroph. In that window, draw and label the components of an
mitochondria. Label the following for the mitochondria: outer mitochondria membrane, inner
mitochondria membrane (cristae), and matrix. Use the diagram below as an example:
4. Add the process of Glycolysis to your diagram. Use the set up in your notes for assistance.
Remember that this process does NOT occur in the mitochondria. Leave out the process of
fermentation. Make sure to label and explain what is occurring. USE YOUR OWN WORDS!
5. Add the process of aerobic respiration to your diagram. Use your notes for assistance. Make sure to
label and explain what is occurring. USE YOUR OWN WORDS!
6. Make sure that you add color to the diagram and that it is neat and organized.
