Cell Respiration Project

Your project for the week is to find a way to let me know you know the purpose and details of Cellular Respiration.  You've got several options for getting this information back to me: you could make a video, PowerPoint, Jing, digital tutorial (that would be helpful for other students), Flipbook, or you could come in and take a traditional written test.  We'll be talking about this in class.  But I'd like you to share a blog post by Wednesday that outlines your plan for this assessment.

Useful Cell Respiration Links

Since a few of you have mentioned that the Khan Academy videos on cell respiration are helpful, here are a few more links to the individual stages:

Overview

Glycolysis

Krebs Cycle

Electron Transport Chain

Take a look at some of these along with your notes on respiration to make things easier to understand.  Write down any questions you have as you watch, and we'll go over them in class.

Intro to Cell Respiration

This Khan Academy video is another way to look at what we've been talking about in class.  Remember, the big picture of the whole process (of cell respiration) is to get the energy out of a glucose molecule.  Your cells transfer the energy from the breakdown of glucose (energy is released) in order to make ATP molecules (energy is put in to connect ADP + P).  I think this video should be helpful.
