TEKS 7.9 A

For Teacher’s Eyes OnlyTeacher Background:

Cellular respiration is a complex concept that must be taught. In these activities, we will introduce cellular respiration and its components to students. In later activities, students will be able to compare the energy flow of cellular respiration to photosynthesis. A brief description of cellular respiration follows:

Cellular Respiration – .

Student Prior KnowledgeStudents should be familiar with the components associated with body systems TEKS 6.10 (C) identify how structure complements function at different levels of organization including organs, organ systems, organisms, and populations and the functions of these systems.

TEKS 7.9 A

5 E’s

ENGAGEObtain small Nerf Toys that shoot soft darts. As students are waiting to begin class, shoot the soft darts around the room. This toy is a great representation of the molecule ATP. Tell students that our body obtains energy by making a molecule called ATP from the foods we eat. Show students the picture of the molecule and describe which parts represent Adenine (handle), Ribose (barrel) and Phosphates (dart). Later on during the lesson, students will see that when ATP looses a phosphate it give off energy, which is represented in the shooting of the dart.

EXPLOREExploration 1

Cellular Respiration Simulation Activity

Activity Overview: This is a role-playing simulation where the students act as the enzymes of cellular respiration to break down a glucose "molecule."  The purpose of the activity is to review the "big picture" of metabolism, aiding students in understanding the relationship among glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle, and the ETC. See Blackline Masters for the simulation layout and detailed directions.

Exploration 2

Muscle Fatigue

Students work in pairs to complete the following experiment to investigate the relationship between oxygen and muscle fatigue. Use the following procedure to explore lactic acid buildup in muscles.

1. Each pair of students is given a tennis ball.

2. Partner A holds the ball in his or her hand. Either hand is OK.

3. Partner B monitors the time for two minutes.

4. When Partner A says begin, Partner B squeezes the tennis ball with his or her hand as many times as possible until time is called at the end of two minutes. Simultaneously, Partner A will count aloud the number of times the tennis ball is squeezed.

5. Create a data table and record Partner A’s data.

6. Partners switch roles, and repeat steps 2-4.

7. Record Partner B’s data.

Provide a debriefing for the activity using the following questions:

1. Describe how your hand felt at the end of the activity? Answers will vary but should include responses related to discomfort or pain.

2. What is happening to the muscles in your hand? The muscles are requiring more oxygen than the blood can deliver (oxygen debt). As oxygen levels decrease, the muscle cells form lactate, which causes discomfort or pain.

3. How do swimmers overcome lactate buildup as they near the end of a race? Initially, creatine phosphate powers the muscles during the race. However, near the end of the race, the swimmer uses rapid breathing to restore the oxygen supply to the muscles. The lactate diffuses out of the muscles and into blood where it be carried to the liver for conversion to glucose. The glucose is transported back to the muscle cells for cellular respiration to synthesize ATP which is used to regenerate creatine phosphate.

4. Which body systems are interacting together in this learning experience? Answers will vary, but might include the following: circulatory, respiratory, nervous, muscular. Students should be able to describe how these systems interact directly or indirectly.

Activity Script:

1. Assign 13 students an assignment in the first attempt of the role play. 2. Have all the students read their job assignment through one time before

beginning the role play activity.

3. The first student in the glycolysis pathway receives the 6 carbon glucose molecule.  The student states "I'm an enzyme that converts the 6 carbon glucose molecule into two three carbon molecules.  I require ATP to do this."  The student receives 2 ATP balloons and pops them and then rips the glucose molecule into two equal halves. This student will give a NAD to a NAD Runner.

4. The student then passes two equal halves of the construction paper to the next person in the transition area.

5. The student at the transition area will convert the 3-C molecule to Acetyl Co-A by attaching the Acetyl-Co-A card to both of the 3 carbon molecules (Halves of the construction paper) and then take an NAD+ index card and give it the runner who will attach an "H" to make an NADH molecule. The runner should take the NADH molecule to the NAD+H collector at the ETC.

6. Now the transition student will pass one of the Acetyl Co-A molecules into the Kreb’s cycle.

Person 1 ---- “I am now citric acid a 6-Carbon Molecule” While handing off the box to person two, “I give off CO2 losing a carbon while transforming NAD to NADH”

Person 2 ---- “I am now a 5 Carbon Molecule” While handing off the box to person three, “I give off CO2 losing another carbon while transforming NAD to NADH and make an ATP molecule” (Blows up a balloon)

Person 3---- “I am now a 4 Carbon Molecule, I transform NAD to NADH and FAD to FADH2” Place the first box aside.

Repeat with second half of construction paper.

Person 1 ---- “I am now citric acid a 6-Carbon Molecule” While handing off the paper to person two, “I give off CO2 losing a carbon while transforming NAD to NADH”

Person 3---- “I am now a 4 Carbon Molecule, I transform NAD to NADH and FAD to FADH2” Place the second box aside.

7. NAD+H Acceptor removes the H and the gives it to the intermembrane space. Pass an e- to the next person

8. FAD+H2 Acceptor removes the H2 and gives it to the intermembrane space. Place the e- in the electron box.

9. Intermembrane space collects at least 4 H molecules and passes them one at a time to the ATP Synthase.

10. ATP Synthase person blow up a balloon (ATP) for every H+ received from intermembraneous space. “I convert ADP to ATP”

11. ATP Synthase passes the H+ to the Water Person to the left who produces two H2O molecules with every 4 H+ received. After receiving 4 H+ the Water Person takes an e- from the electron box and places the e- with 4 H+ into the water box and pours a cup of water.

When the first role play is complete, have students change roles and repeat the role play activity.

Respiration Review Lab

Overview:

We eat food to provide our bodies with energy. However, trying to use food molecules like glucose to run our bodies is like trying to run a car wash with a five dollar bill. Your cells can only use the chemical bond energy stored in ATP molecules to run cellular operations just as the car wash will only run on dollars or quarters. Therefore, the cell must change food molecules like glucose into usable form --- ATP. This process is called cellular respiration.

Let’s compare the burning of glucose in the body to the burning of a candle. Glucose molecules provide energy for the body just like the candle wax provides energy for the burning flames. The following experiments will provide some information about processes involved in the burning of a candle that also apply to the “burning” of glucose in the body.

Materials: Candle Matches 500 ml Erlenmeyer Flask Bromothymol Blue Aluminum Pie Plate

Procedures/Observations:

1. Light the candle again and allow it to burn.

2. Place the flask over the candle and leave it until the candle goes out.

3. Slide the flask quickly up and over the candle and cover the bottom of the flask with your hand, trying not to let any of the contents escape. Turn the flask right side up.

4. Carefully move your hand from the top of the flask just enough to add 2 drops of Bromothymol Blue then cover the top completely again.

5. What color was the Bromothymol Blue to begin with? Blue

6. What color did the Bromothymol Blue turn when placed in the beaker? (You may have to swirl the liquid and wait a minute or two for a change.) Green (yellow-green)

7. Do you notice any water vapor on the inside of the flask? Yes

8. Is water also a waste product (by product) of cellular respiration? Yes

Biology

9. Bromothymol Blue is a pH indicator. Carbonic acid forms in the presence of water and high concentrations of what gas? Carbon Dioxide

10. What gas was given off as a waste product of the burning candle? Carbon Dioxide

11. What gas is given off as a waste product of cellular respiration? Carbon Dioxide

Experiment #3

Materials: Candle Matches 500 ml Erlenmeyer Flask Water Aluminum Pie Plate

Procedures/Observations:

1. Pour enough water in the bottom of the pan to fill the pan at least half-full.

2. Light the candle and let it burn. Set the base of the candle in to the water in the middle of the pan and let it continue to burn.

3. Place the flask over the candle, submerging it in the water.

4. What happens when the candle goes out? Water comes into the flask

5. What was removed from the air in the flask to allow space for the water to come in? Oxygen

6. Carbon dioxide is released into the air during the burning of the candle. However, much of this carbon dioxide becomes dissolved in the water to form carbonic acid. This provides even more space for the water to rush in.

Conclusions:

4. Write the balanced, general formula for cellular respiration.

C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP’s)

5. Enzymes, glucose and oxygen are the materials necessary for respiration to take place in the cell.

6. Carbon dioxide, water and ATP (energy) are given off during cellular respiration.

Muscle Fatigue

Working in pairs, complete the following experiment to investigate the relationship between oxygen and muscle fatigue. Use the following procedure to explore lactic acid buildup in muscles.

1. Each pair of students should receive a tennis ball.

2. Partner A holds the ball in his or her hand. Either hand is OK.

3. Partner B monitors the time for two minutes.

4. When Partner A says begin, Partner B squeezes the tennis ball with his or her hand as many times as possible until time is called at the end of two minutes. Simultaneously, Partner A will count aloud the number of times the tennis ball is squeezed.

1. Create a data table and record Partner A’s data.

2. Partners switch roles, and repeat steps 2-4.

3. Record Partner B’s data.

Questions:

1. Describe how your hand felt at the end of the activity?

2. What is happening to the muscles in your hand?

3. How do swimmers overcome lactate buildup as they near the end of a race?

4. Which body systems are interacting together in this learning experience?

5. After participating in the Respiration and Muscle Rumble write a 100-150-word summary about oxygen debt and muscular contractions.
