STUDY GUIDE FOR CELLULAR RESPIRATION Cellular Respiration: Transfer of energy from organic compounds (especially GLUCOSE) to ATP. AEROBIC: cellular respiration WITH O2 ANEROBIC: cellular respiration WITHOUT O2 TWO STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION: STAGE 1: Glucose is converted to Pyruvate producing small amounts of ATP and NADH. STAGE 2: If O2, then: PYR and NADH make lots of ATP; if no O2, then Lactate or Ethanol and CO2 are produced. SEE FIGURE 10 FROM PAGE 104 IIN THE TEXTBOOK.

Study tips for Quiz 3 Fluid mosaic membrane model Selective permeability: control what goes in and out of cell Compartmentalization: different processes can be separate Phospholipids-main component of membranes (50% by weight) Structure: hydrophilic heads faces out (water loving) polar surface Hydrophobic tails face in (weather fearing) non-polar region Interior 1972 singer and Garth Fluid- lipids and proteins can move relative to each other within membrane The typical membrane structure consists of a phospholipid bilayer with a number of proteins scattered throughout, along with some carbohydrates (glycoproteins), glycolipids and sterols, similar to the way in which one does a mosaic tile, hence the name. molecules involved in membrane transport Pg 107 fig 5.12

By: Chlo? Durfee Sydney Modder Ramya Ramesh Megumi Sharma Chase Damis The Respiratory System Larynx (Voice Box) Connects pharynx to trachea Provides airway Prevents food from entering respiratory tract Produces sound Pharynx (throat) Provides passageway for respiratory and digestive tracts Tube like structure that connects nasal and oral cavities to larynx Coordinates breathing and swallowing while eating Larynx/Pharynx Larynx/Pharynx Epiglottis Blocks food and liquids from entering the trachea Spoon-like structure Epiglottis Lungs Pair of spongy, air-filled organs. Located on either side of thorax. Covered by thin tissue called pleura. Pull in oxygen and absorbs it into linings of lungs. Pushes oxygen into chambers of the heart so oxygen travels throughout the body.

Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: Darwinian View of Life Lecture Outline Overview: Darwin Introduces a Revolutionary Theory On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Darwin?s book drew a cohesive picture of life by connecting what had once seemed a bewildering array of unrelated facts. Darwin made two major points in The Origin of Species: Today?s organisms descended from ancestral species that were different from modern species. Natural selection provided a mechanism for this evolutionary change. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population can change over time if individuals that possess certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals.

Chapter 24 The Origin of Species Lecture Outline Overview: That ?Mystery of Mysteries? Darwin visited the Gal?pagos Islands and found them filled with plants and animals that lived nowhere else in the world. He realized that he was observing newly emerged species on these young islands. Speciation?the origin of new species?is at the focal point of evolutionary theory because the appearance of new species is the source of biological diversity. Microevolution is the study of adaptive change in a population. Macroevolution addresses evolutionary changes above the species level. It deals with questions such as the appearance of evolutionary novelties (e.g., feathers and flight in birds) that can be used to define higher taxa.
