Ch. 9: Cellular Respiration
BEFORE YOU START: Give your name to your peers and say one thing you remember
about the chapter.
You are going to build a concept map of cellular respiration. Draw a mitochondrion and
show all of the processes going on during respiration. Draw and describe what happens
and where it happens from beginning to the end of cellular respiration.
Your concept map should include these:
o Start by writing down the overall reaction of cellular respiration.
o Draw the mitochondrion with all of its components.
o Now divide respiration into the four processes (glycolysis, pyruvate processing,
TCA Cycle, and the ETC).
o Then explain those processes on the mitochondrion and maybe using step-bystep explanations.
o Don’t forget to include explanations of the PMF and ATP synthase!
However, those are suggestions of how your concept map might look. Be creative!
Ch. 10: Photosynthesis
BEFORE YOU START: Give your name to your peers and say one thing you remember
about the chapter.
You are going to build a concept map of photosynthesis. Draw a chloroplast and show
all of the processes going on during photosynthesis. Draw and describe what happens
and where it happens from beginning to the end of photosynthesis.
Your concept map should include these:
o
o
o
o
Start by writing down the overall reaction of photosynthesis.
Draw the chloroplast with all of its components.
Now divide photosynthesis into two processes (light + dark reactions).
Then explain those processes on the chloroplast and maybe using step-by-step
explanations.
However, those are suggestions of how your concept map might look. Be creative!
Ch. 12: Cell Cycle
BEFORE YOU START: Give your name to your peers and say one thing you remember
about the chapter.
You are going to build a concept map of the cell cycle. Draw all of the processes going
on during the cell cycle. Draw and describe what happens and where it happens from
beginning to the end of the cell cycle.
Your concept map should include these:
o Start by drawing an overall cell cycle process (like the circle we’ve seen in class).
o Don’t forget the checkpoints!
o Describe what happens during each step.
o Now go on further to describe cell division.
o Then explain that process by drawings and maybe using step-by-step
explanations.
However, those are suggestions of how your concept map might look. Be creative!
Ch. 15: DNA Synthesis + Repair
BEFORE YOU START: Give your name to your peers and say one thing you remember
about the chapter.
You are going to build a concept map of DNA synthesis. Draw a DNA double helix and
show all of the processes going on during replication. Draw and describe what happens
and where it happens from beginning to the end of replication.
Your concept map should include these:
Start by noting the overall process of DNA synthesis.
Now determine what genes are made of.
Draw the DNA double helix (with the replication fork and 3’ + 5’ ends).
Now draw how replication happens and the functions of proteins, step-by-step.
o Don’t forget to include how the ends of DNA are replicated!
o (If you have time, explain how the DNA repair mechanism works.)

Ch. 17: Transcription + Translation
BEFORE YOU START: Give your name to your peers and say one thing you remember
about the chapter.
You are going to build a concept map explaining transcription and translation. Draw
and show all of the processes going on during transcription and translation. Draw and
describe what happens and where it happens from beginning to the end.
Your concept map should include these:
o Start by writing down what the central dogma is.
o Draw the DNA double helix and explain how transcription starts and ends.
o Don’t forget RNA splicing and post-transcriptional processing.
o Now draw and explain how translation starts and ends.
However, those are suggestions of how your concept map might look. Be creative!
Ch. 18: Control of Gene Expression
BEFORE YOU START: Give your name to your peers and say one thing you remember
about the chapter.
You are going to build a concept map of gene expression control. You will explain how
negative control of gene expression works. Draw and describe what happens and where
it happens from beginning to the end.
Your concept map should include these:
o Start by writing down the levels of gene expression regulation.
o Now explain how each level controls gene expression.
o Draw the lac operon and explain how it controls lactose metabolism step-by-step.
o Is this an example of positive or negative control of gene expression?
o Briefly explain what positive control of gene expression is.
However, those are suggestions of how your concept map might look. Be creative!
