Key Terms and Definitions All key terms and definitions come from the document Keystone Exams: Biology Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content with Sample Questions and Glossary, PDE 2011. *Terms are sourced from other documents.
1. *Aerobic - relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen; "simple aerobic bacteria" 2. *Anaerobic - an absence of free oxygen - "anaerobic bacteria" 3. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): A molecule that provides energy for cellular reactions and processes. ATP releases energy when one of its high energy bonds is broken to release a phosphate group. - 4. Bioenergetics: The study of energy flow (energy transformations) into and within living systems. 5. Cellular Respiration: A complex set of chemical reactions involving an energy transformation where potential chemical energy in the bonds of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. 6. Chloroplast: An organelle found in plant cells and the cells of other eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms where photosynthesis occurs. 7. Energy transformation: The process of changing one form of energy to another 8. Mitochondria: A membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells; site of cellular respiration. 9. Photosynthesis: A process in which solar radiation is chemically captured by chlorophyll molecules and through a set of controlled chemical reactions resulting in the potential chemical energy in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules. 10. Plastids: A group of membrane bound organelles commonly found in photosynthetic organisms and mainly - responsible for the synthesis and storage of food. Starting Points An overview of how the content and skills of this unit connect to students' prior knowledge.
1. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria--BIO.A.3.1.1 Bio T2, Unit 3: Bioenergetics Students should already know that in most animals and plants, oxygen reacts with carbon-containing molecules (sugars) to provide energy and produce carbon dioxide. In this unit, students will learn that the structure of the mitochondria supports the process of aerobic respiration. 2. Energy Transformations in Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis--BIO.A.3.2.1 Students should already know that plants, algae (including phytoplankton), and many microorganisms use the energy from light to make C6H12O6 (food) from carbon dioxide and water through the process of photosynthesis. In this unit, students will learn how the process of photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into sugars plus released oxygen and how that process complements cellular respiration. 3. ATP--BIO.A.3.2.2 Students should already know that matter and energy are conserved in all biological systems. In this unit, students will consider how it is possible for a chemical reaction to “store energy” or “release energy” and yet for energy to remain conserved. Understanding that a large quantity of energy is released from the organism as heat during exergonic reactions is critical to making sense of this apparent paradox.
