Respiration
Unit B – Year 8
Do Now:
• Copy down the following formula into your books:
Glucose
• Cells need energy to stay alive
• This energy comes from glucose
• Produced from the digestion of carbohydrates
ATP Energy
• Adenosine triphosphate – ATP Energy
• Energy created by the breakdown of glucose
• Contains 3 phosphates
• Phosphates break to create energy
Cells Need ATP Energy
• All cells need ATP energy
• Fermentation – creating ATP energy without oxygen
• Most cells in your body will use glucose and oxygen to produce ATP energy
Fermentation Experiment
• You will be using yeast, sugar and water to create ATP energy
• Answer the following questions:
• What is the glucose in the experiment?
• What would happen without the sugar?
• What gas fills the balloon?
Experiment:
• Heat 100 mL of water to approximately 32°C.
• Place about 3.5 g of yeast into the conical flask with the warm water
• Each table will add a different amount of sugar into the yeast and
water
• After adding everything, place a balloon on top.
• Measure the diameter of the balloon in 5 minute intervals.
• We will then check on the products tomorrow
Yeast Fermentation
• What your final experiment should look like:
Do Now:
• Collect your experiment from the window and measure the balloon
and write your observation of what occurred.
• Now a quick review:
Moving the Glucose and Oxygen Through
Your Body
• Small Intestines – Nutrients pass through the small intestines and are
absorbed into the blood through the villi (or a single one is called
villus)
The Villi
• Digested food passes through into tiny blood vessels called capillaries
Circulatory System
• Veins – carry blood
towards the heart
• Arteries – carry
blood away from
the heart
How do capillaries help?
Red Blood Cells
• Red Blood Cells – Carry oxygen around the body
• When we breathe in oxygen enters the small air sacs, called alveoli, in
the lungs. Oxygen diffuses from there into the bloodstream.
• These contain a red substance called haemoglobin, which joins onto
oxygen and carries it around the body in the blood, then lets it go
when necessary. Oxygen can diffuse into cells from the capillaries.
Plasma
• Glucose is obtained through digestion of the food we eat and then
absorbed across the wall of the small intestine into the bloodstream.
• Glucose is carried round the body dissolved in blood plasma, the pale
yellow liquid part of our blood. The dissolved glucose can diffuse into
the cells of the body from the capillaries. Once in the cell glucose can
be used in respiration.
Moving through the Blood
Glycolysis
• Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid units.
• Creates 2 ATP
• This stage takes place in the cytoplasm; it does not require oxygen:
Do Now:
• What is the “goal” of cellular respiration? What does the body get
out of it?
• What are the two options that glucose can react with to create the
needed energy?
Anaerobic vs. Aerobic
• Anaerobic – Reaction without oxygen
• Aerobic – Reaction with oxygen
• Aerobic Exercise gains more oxygen into the body
• What are some examples of aerobic exercise?
Activity
• We will determine aerobic exercise difficulty using heartrate.
• We will complete different activities and record heartrate after each
exercise.
Do Now:
• Define and describe glycolysis
• Which exercise were you producing the most ATP energy?
• What do you believe a “pyruvate” is?
How Fast is Cellular Respiration?
• Depends on how fast you are taking in oxygen and using energy
• Faster during aerobic exercise
• Slower during sleep
Kreb’s Cycle
• 2nd step of cellular respiration
• What do you notice is produced?
• Hint: It’s a gas!
Kreb’s Cycle
• Pyruvic Acid is broken down with oxygen
• Carbon dioxide is produced
• Water is produced
• Also produces 2 ATP
energy
NADH
• Nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide – an enzyme
that is needed in the final
step of cellular respiration,
Electron Transport Train
• You only need to remember
NADH will carry electrons to
the final stage
Mitochondria
• Part of the cell
• Kreb’s Cycle takes place here
• Continuous cycle for as long as the body is producing and needs ATP
energy
• Located inside the cytoplasm
Eukoaryotes Cells
Project
• You are to create a board game about cellular respiration
• We will finish talking about the electron transport chain tomorrow
and wrap up the 3 steps in cellular respiration
• Wednesday and Friday we will review
• Next Monday your games are due
• I will choose the best games and we will play next week in class
Examples:
• You may make it with or without the assistance of a computer
Computer Based Games:
• You may also make a computer based game such as:
Your Game Must Include:
• Vocabulary
• Stages of cellular respiration
• I am happy to print anything you need for your project
• Please do not wait until the last minute!
Do Now:
• What is produced during glycolysis?
• What is produced during Kreb’s cycle?
Electron Transport Chain
• Final stage of cellular respiration
• Produces most ATP energy – 34 ATP energy
(usually closer to 32)
• NADH (abd FADH) carries
electrons from Kreb’s cycle
through the mitochondria
• Membranes will turn the
electrons into ATP energy!
• And we are done….almost…
ETC
Stopping the Chain
• If something were to “block” the
chain, then your body would not
be able to create enough ATP
energy
• Example: Cyanide can stop the
chain
Cellular Respiration
Do Now:
• Write the equation for cellular respiration and indicate in which each
step the product is made.
Photosynthesis
• Process to produce oxygen and
glucose
• Occurs in plants
Reaction
• Nearly opposite from cellular respiration
Chloroplast
• The plant “version” of the mitochondria (but opposite)
• Produces glucose (instead of using glucose)
• Contains chlorophyll – captures light energy to help produce glucose

Do Now:
• Clear off your desks, you have a quiz!
The 3 Systems:
• Respiratory System – Brings oxygen into the body
• Main Organ: Lung
• Digestive System – Brings glucose into the body
• Main Organ: Small Intestine
• Circulatory System – Circulates blood through the
body
• Main Organ: Heart
Breathing
• Ventilation – Movement of air in and out of the lungs
• Inhale – bring air into the lungs
• Lungs get bigger
• Exhale – release air from the lungs
• Lungs get smaller
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaOBcF6N7e4
Your lungs contain cells!
• Mucus – sticky liquid leading down to the lungs created by cells
• Traps dust, dirt and germs before it can enter the lungs
• Ciliated Epithelial Cells – cleans mucus out of the respiratory system
and into the gullet where it is swallowed
• Cilia – Tiny hairs in the cells that cleans out the mucus
Goblet Cell
• Produces mucus and is located next to ciliated cells
Do Now:
• Determine the vocabulary word for each of the following definitions:
• The process used to create glucose.
• Part of the cell Kreb’s cycle takes place.
• The process used to create ATP energy.
• Part of the blood that moves oxygen around the body.
• Part of the small intestine that takes glucose from the digestive
system.
Gas Exchange
• Picking up oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
• Red blood cells:
• Bright red when filled with oxygen
• Dark red when not
Air Sacs
• Thousands in the lungs
• Contain tiny pockets called alveoli
• Give large surface area for RBC to absorb oxygen
• Excrete carbon dioxide
Getting into the blood
• Capillaries surround the pockets in the to collect the oxygen and
release carbon dioxide
Diffuse
• Thin walls of the pockets allows the gas exchange to go in and out of
the blood
Diffusion in the Water
• Underwater diffusion allows plants to get oxygen
• Gills allow fish to get oxygen
Activity:
• Read the handout about fish and respiration.
• Make a graph and answer the questions
Do Now:
• Please glue the diagram into your books.
Lungs
• Your lungs receive the air you breathe in through your nose.
• When you breathe in, the lungs puff-out or inflate, and deflate when you breathe out.
• From the air, they take the useful part - oxygen (a gas), and convert it for use in the body
via the bloodstream.
• The blood swaps carbon dioxide (the waste material) for oxygen in the lungs. This is why
the lungs are often said to convert gases.
• You have 2 lungs.
• Your lungs are protected by your ribcage.
• Close-up, they look like a wet sponge.
• The left lung is smaller - to accommodate your heart
• Your lungs are particularly vulnerable to breathing-in
nasty substances - toxic chemicals, smoke from fires
and cigarette smoke all damage your lungs.
Trachea (windpipe)
• Carries air to the lungs
Lung Dissection
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xhxALk9gm8
• Write down observations
What did you observe?
• Discuss with the person next to you what observations you made
during the video
Class Observations
• What did you learn from the dissection?
Do Now:
• What are the 2 cells in the lungs?
• What are their functions?
