By the end of this unit I will:

Know the two types of respiration and the two major differences between them.

Know the general processes of aerobic respiration- glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and
ETC.

Trace the carbons of the initial glucose molecule through the chemical reactions
of aerobic respiration to their immediate destinations.

Know the general processes of anaerobic respiration- fermentation.

Account for the production of 2 ATP molecules per glucose in the chemical
reactions of anaerobic respiration and explain the need for the steps after
glycolysis.

Be able to explain the importance of oxygen and account for the formation of
water in aerobic respiration.

Be able to explain why carbon dioxide is exhaled.

Explain the process of muscle fatigue.

Understand how calories are a measurement of energy.

Understand and explain how carbon is recycled between photosynthesis and
cellular respiration.

Explain why biofuels are considered carbon neutral.
