Cell Respiration

The Working Cell: Energy from Food “Cellular Respiration”

Objectives:

1.       Compare and contrast how autotrophs and heterotrophs obtain food

2.       Explain how cellular respiration harvests the energy in food

3.       Distinguish between the different forms of energy

4.       Explain what chemical energy is and how cells release it from food

5.       Define calories and kilocalories as units of energy

6.       Describe the structure of ATP and how it stores energy

7.       Give examples of work that cells perform

8.       Summarize the ATP cycle

9.       Relate breathing and cellular respiration

10.   Summarize the cellular respiration equation

11.   Tell how “falling” electrons are a source of energy

12.   Explain the role of electron transportation

13.   Describe the structure of mitochondria
