VACHS BIOLOGY
1. Which organelle is made up of transportation
channels, and what city structure might it be
compared to?
2. Which organelle is responsible for removing
waste from the cell, and what city structure might
it be compared to?
3. Which organelle synthesizes (creates) proteins,
and what city structure might it be compared to?
4. Which organelle packages and modifies
proteins, and what city structure might it be
compared to?
5. Which organelle manufactures ENERGY for cells?

How do you say “to breathe” in Spanish?


Respirar! Which is related to the process of
“cellular respiration.”
What other connections can we make to this
process?


As animals, where do we get our energy
from?
How is this different than the way plants get
their energy?


BIG PIECES of food
digested into tiny
nutrients
Nutrients absorbed into
the bloodstream in the
small intestine



Simple form of
sugar/carbohydrates
The basic fuel of the body
Absorbed through villi into
the blood stream, where it
goes as “food” to ALL body
cells


But once glucose goes to cells, there’s a
problem…
How do cells take GLUCOSE and make
ENERGY?




JAR = One Cell in the Body (it doesn’t matter
which one!)
PAPER = Glucose
FIRE = Energy
How can the cell (JAR) create energy (FIRE)
from glucose (PAPER)?

Cellular respiration: the process cells use to
make energy from glucose
Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP

WHAT IS ATP????
ATP =
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
Voices/Movement: “Restaurant voices,” sitting
still.
Instructions: The cards at your table parts of
the cellular respiration process. PUT THEM IN
ORDERR!!!!


Voices/Movement: Silent and Sitting Still
Instructions: Using your notes, take five
minutes to create your own diagram of
cellular respiration (look on the backside of
your notes).
Cellular Respiration needs OXYGEN, so it is also
called AEROBIC RESPIRATION!
When energy is burned without OXYGEN, it is
called ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION, also known as
FERMENTATION!


Voices/Movement: You can use restaurant
voices and move around the classroom.
Instructions: Follow the instructions on your
lab sheet!




Voices/Movement: Sitting still, “restaurant”
Materials: Textbooks, p. 250 – 253
Instructions: Reading the text and discussing
with your groups, work together to answer
the questions on your notes!
** once you’re done, you can get your
answers checked and start working on your
projects!!
