My expectations of you

Let’s see what you remember from when you were “little” Biologists

Biology Review

What’s the most important event in your life?

Gastrulation

What’s the name of the chemical reaction that releases energy in our cells?

Cellular Respiration

Biology Review

Where does this reaction take place? Mitochondria What are the 2 types of Cellular

Respiration? Aerobic and Anaerobic Do you know the balanced chemical

equation for each? C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + E

Biology Review

How about Anaerobic Respiration? C6H12O6 2C3H6O3 + E

What energy carrying molecule stores energy in our cells?

ATP 36 ATP needed to store the energy

release from 1 glucose molecule broken down by Aerobic Respiration

Biology Review

Only 2 ATP are needed to store the energy released from the breakdown of one glucose molecule Anaerobically

The ATP Cycle

Let's try a test!
