Answer the questions below. Draw a concept map or an illustration where necessary.
1.
What are ways that potential energy can be stored in the cell?
2.
Fill out the below table
3.
Explain how breaking a bond in ATP requires energy but is a reaction that releases energy.
4.
What is energy coupling? Give an example.
5.
Draw an enzyme with an active and an allosteric site and show where the different kinds of inhibitors would bind.
You are going to build a concept map of cellular respiration. Draw a mitochondrion and show all of the processes going on during respiration. Draw and describe what happens and where it happens from beginning to the end of cellular respiration.
Answer these questions while you draw the map:
1.
What is the overall reaction to cellular respiration?
2.
What are the stages of cellular respiration?
3.
What goes into and comes out of every stage?
4.
Where is NADH made and what is it used for?
5.
Show the movement of protons across the particular membrane.
6.
Show how ATP is made.
7.
Where do the electrons travel and what is the last electron acceptor?
8.
What are the two inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation?
9.
How can ATP synthesis and O
2
consumption be uncoupled?

You are going to build a concept map of photosynthesis. Draw a chloroplast and show all of the processes going on during photosynthesis. Draw and describe what happens and where it happens from beginning to the end of photosynthesis.
Answer these questions while you draw the map:
1.
What is the overall reaction of photosynthesis?
2.
What goes into and comes out of every stage?
3.
What is the molecule that provides electrons to photosystem II.
4.
What is produced at the end of the light reactions?
5.
What is the purpose of making those products (in the light reactions)?
6.
Show the movement of protons across the particular membrane.
7.
What are the three phases of the Calvin cycle?
Be creative! You don’t have to stick to a map.
You are going to build a concept map of DNA synthesis. Draw a DNA double helix and show the processes going on during replication. Then continue by completing transcription and translation of the strand. Be as specific as you can!
Answer these questions while you draw the map:
1.
What is meant by the replisome?
2.
Come up with a single DNA strand and write the complementary strand, noting the direction of synthesis.
3.
What are all of the enzymes involved in replication?
4.
What is the central dogma?
5.
Now that you have a double strand, transcribe it.
6.
Translate the transcript.

You are going to build a concept map of gene expression control. You should be able to draw the location of regulatory genes and the regulatory proteins that bind them.
Answer these questions and directions:
1.
What are the basic components of chromatin?
2.
Explain how chromatin is altered when it is regulated.
3.
Draw a DNA double helix and locate regulatory genes on it. Include the transcription start site (hint: you can choose where it’s located).
4.
What proteins control gene expression? Which ones activate and inhibit transcription?
Be creative! You don’t have to stick to a map.
