This resource includes six modules on the topic of cellular respiration. These include the following: Intro to photosynthesis The light-dependent reactions The calvin cycle Photorespiration: C3, C4, and CAM plants Content modules include videos, articles, figures, and illustrations, though the majority are videos. Users/students can also ask questions at the end of each module, and a...
These are Powerpoint slides created using a practice problem set from Campbell Biology 10th Edition (Reece, J. B., Urry, L. A., Cain, M. L., Wasserman, S. A., Minorsky, P. V., and Jackson, R. B. 2014. Campbell Biology. Pearson Education, Inc., Glenview, IL.). The scenario presented in the slides asks the students to predict the flow of water and several different sugars across a semi-permeable...
The Surface Area : Volume worksheet is a relatively short (7-question) worksheet that can be used to assess the degree to which students grasp the relationship between surface area and volume, as well as the significance of this relationship to cellular structure and function. Questions are posed in short-answer form, though multiple questions can be answered with a single word. This resource has...
In this activity, a visual model of the reactions of photosynthesis (and to a lesser extent, respiration) is provided to students. Students evaluate the model in groups, and subsequently use it to answer questions about the model as presented, as well as the results of perturbations to the pathways indicated in the model. These ?perturbation? questions require students to step back and ana...
