🎯 Objectives & Success Criteria

I can...

- Describe the main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain.

- Explain how cellular respiration releases energy for cells and how it connects to photosynthesis.

- Create a clear flowchart showing the sequence of steps and where energy (ATP) is produced.

Success Criteria:

- My flowchart shows glycolysis → Krebs cycle → electron transport chain in order.

- I label where ATP and CO2 are produced and note where oxygen is used.

- I can write one sentence explaining the link between photosynthesis and respiration.

📚 Part 1: Short Questions

1. Which step of cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm?

Glycolysis

Krebs cycle

Electron transport chain

Calvin cycle

2. Where does the Krebs cycle take place?

Cytoplasm

Mitochondrial matrix

Inner mitochondrial membrane

Chloroplast stroma

3. Check all products of cellular respiration (select all that apply):

ATP

CO2

Heat (thermal energy)

4. Short answer: In one sentence, explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected.

5. Which part of the cell uses oxygen to help produce the most ATP?

Glycolysis

Krebs cycle

Electron transport chain (ETC)

Cytosol

✏️ Part 2: Flowchart & Extension

6. Create a flowchart showing the steps of cellular respiration. Include: starting molecule (glucose), glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, and final products (ATP, CO2, H2O). Use arrows to show flow and label where oxygen is used.

7. Label the ATP yield (approximate) for each step below your flowchart:

Glycolysis: _______ ATP Krebs cycle: _______ ATP ETC (total): _______ ATP

8. Extension (advanced learners): Briefly describe one way anaerobic organisms (like yeast or some bacteria) differ in respiration. Add one extra box to your flowchart to show anaerobic fermentation.
