Modified from a worksheet originally created by Dr. Biao Ding, this worksheet can be passed out to students to use as a review of chemistry, macromolecules, and components of the cell. The key to the worksheet and all references for the figures are included in the file.
This activity is designed to help students with the concepts of mitosis and meiosis. Specifically, the activity is designed to help students learn the different recognized stages of mitosis, differentiate homologous and nonhomologous chromosomes and recognize sister chromatids (duplicated chromosomes). In addition, students complete an activity in which they simulate/model the process of meiosis,...
This module has sections with an overview and in-depth look at the key players involved in electron transport chain as well as a movie that pulls it all together. It labels the membrane structures involved in the reactions and illustrates the flow of electrons and protons and the ultimate addition of inorganic phosophate to ADP on the ATP synthase complex. Students can review the material with...
This module has sections with an overview and in-depth look at the key players involved in photosynthesis as well as a movie that pulls it all together. It illustrates the flow of energy, chemical reactions, and establishment of the proton gradient across the membrane that results in the production of NADPH2 and ATP in photosynthesis. The animation distinguishes the reactions in Photsystem II,...
This module has sections with an overview and in-depth look at the key players involved in Photosystem II as well as a movie that pulls it all together. It illustrates the flow of energy and chemical reactionsin Photosystem II and labels the membrane proteins and pigments involved in the reactions. Students can review the material with text and still illustrations or animations.
