Quiz: Enzymes & 3.3 Cellular Energy

 



Today's Learning Objective(s):

·  Describe the role of energy in living organisms

#

Tasks:

1

Quiz: Energy Transfers & Enzymes 

 

Multiple Choice and Diagram Completion

 

2

Energy in Living Organisms

Video Introduction  

Videos of Google Slide

3

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions  - student groups are to revisit their T-chart from lesson 1 “Endergonic and Exergonic.” You are to read about redox reactions in the textbook p. 109 and add even more detail

4

Chemical Equations Photosynthesis ↔ Cellular Respiration  

You are to then compare the chemical reactions and determine the following (labeling) endergonic, exergonic, catabolic, anabolic, oxidation and reduction.

5

Explore Thermodynamics 

After sharing out your ideas about equations, there is a revisit of the ideas of thermodynamics. Student groups then need to add these concepts to the equation maps.   Think about it… How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration follow the laws of thermodynamics? What else must be considered when thinking about these reactions?

3.2 Environmental Impacts on Enzyme Function continued

 


Today's Learning Objective(s):

·  Explain how changes to the structure of an enzyme may affect its function.

·  Explain how the cellular environment affects enzyme activity.

#

Tasks:

1

FRQ: Enzyme Function (quiz)

Complete the FRQ.

 

Parts A and C must be completed on the graph paper.

 

2

Modeling a Metabolic Pathway

You and your team are to look back to their models that you created a few days ago. You are to revise your models (or make new ones) to become a metabolic pathway. Some requirements:

1. The reaction sequence should show the enzyme-substrate chain (product of one reaction is the substrate for the next)

2. The final substrate should be an inhibitor for the first enzyme.
