9. OVERVIEW OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION

13. Fig. 8.8 HOW IS ATP MADE IN ELECTRON TRANSPORT SYSTEM? OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION: Production of ATP from energy released by ETS. H + pumped into intermembrane space. H + flow down concentration gradient into matrix. ATP made by ATP synthase  chemiosmosis.

14. Fig. 8.9 ENERGY YIELD FROM GLUCOSE BREAKDOWN 39% of available energy transferred from glucose to ATP. Rest is lost as heat. Difference due to shuttle mechanism (NAD + or FAD).

17. SLIDE LAYOUT A lot of times people include way too many words on the slide and proceed to read the entire slide to the students. Additionally, the font is often way too small and the color of the words not different enough from the background to be easily read. If I were to show a lot of slides like this one, I guarantee that students would doze off and no longer pay attention. Using short sentences, beefed up font, and a contrasting color for the words increases the focus of students. In fact, a black background with white letters seems to help students focus even better than most color combinations.

19. PHOTOSYNTHESIS LAND PLANTS MULTICELLULAR ALGAE UNICELLULAR PROTISTS CYANOBACTERIA OTHER PHOTOSYNTHETIC PROKARYOTES

20. LIGHT REACTIONS

22. VIRUSES INFECTING A BACTERIAL CELL

23. 1950s FRANKLIN’S X-RAY DIFFRACTION PHOTOS Photo made by Rosalind Franklin, seen by Watson and Crick, led to the discovery that DNA was a double helix composed of two strands.

24. Smallest unit of living matter = CELL
