Aerobic Respiration Biology Lecture Materials

These are the Aerobic Respiration Lecture materials of the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual college cell biology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.

The Aerobic Respiration Lecture materials include:
  • a list of learning objectives
  • a PowerPoint lecture  
  • a homework assignment 
  • "class note" articles
  • practice test questions
  • review questions
  • term paper metabolism assignment 
  • links to additional educational resources

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are  a study guide based on the VCBC Aerobic Respiration Lecture PowerPoint:

  • Understand difference between catabolism and anabolism, and what these reactions have to do with metabolism.
  • Understand what a redox reaction is and what this type of reaction has to do with metabolism.
  • What is ATP, and what is its significance in metabolism.
  • What is phosphorylation?
  • Understand the steps of aerobic cellular respiration, with respect to the four sub-pathways (glycolysis, synthesis of Acetyl-CoA, Kreb's Cycle & the electron transport chain). For each sub-pathway, what is the starting molecule, end product molecule, and what energy is extracted?
  • What is oxygen's role in aerobic cellular respiration?
  • Where does metabolic energy originate? How is it captured? What organelles and pigments are involved?

LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Aerobic Respiration PPT: 

Fill-in-the-Blank Format: 
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom are fill-in-the-blank format to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. 

Printing: 
The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.

AEROBIC RESPIRATION HOMEWORK
Word document of a single essay question given to students at the end of lecture. This tool helps the students review the main messages of the lecture while allowing the instructor to assess the class' understanding of the material.


REQUIRED READINGS
Here is what you need to read, in addition to the PowerPoint, to master this topic. Check Moodle for additional readings.

​​
PRACTICE TEST & REVIEW QUESTIONS 
These multiple-choice / matching practice test questions and essay review questions are designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture. 

METABOLISM PROJECT ASSIGNMENT
Word document instructions for writing a paper on the relationship between metabolism and nutrition. Allows students to choose one of three options. The Calorie King website has a food database to help you with finding grams of carbohydrates, fiber, protein & fats of common food items, for Option 1 of this project.
