Unit Objectives: Cellular Respiration
At the conclusion of this unit, you should be able to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Describe the structure and function of ATP and explain the ADP/ATP cycle.
Describe the role of respiration in the cell’s energy cycle.
Explain the role and importance of redox in metabolism (cellular respiration).
Describe how the catabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates relates to cellular
respiration.
5. Draw/describe the structure of a mitochondrion and relate its structure to its role in
energy capture and transformation.
6. Relate the role of the mitochondria and respiration to the overall health of organisms.
7. Identify the general reactants and products of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the
electron transport chain and identify the cellular location for each process.
8. Sequence the major steps of glycolysis and describe the role of enzymes in metabolism.
9. Describe the role of FAD and NAD in the process of respiration and identify the steps
they are involved in.
10. Compare the efficiency of substrate-level phosphorylation to oxidative phosphorylation
and describe the process of chemiosmosis explaining how it contributes to oxidative
phosphorylation.
11. Describe the role of oxygen in cellular respiration and explain how its consumption can
be used to measure the rate of cellular respiration.
12. Compare ATP production during glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and electron transport.
13. Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration (fermentation) including: oxygen usage, end
products, ATP production and types of organisms/cells employing each.
