Chapter+6+Objectives

6.1 Compare the processes and locations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Explain why it is accurate to say that life on Earth is solar-powered. 6.2 Describe and compare the processes of breathing and cellular respiration. 6.3 Provide the overall chemical equation for cellular respiration. Compare the efficiency of this process in cells to the efficiency of a gasoline automobile engine. 6.4 Explain how the human body uses its daily supply of ATP. 6.5 Explain how the energy in a glucose molecule is released during cellular respiration. 6.5 Explain how redox reactions are used in cellular respiration.
 * Introduction to Cellular Respiration **

6.6 List the cellular regions where glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation occur. Note whether substrate-level phosphorylation or chemiosmosis occur at each of these sites. 6.7–6.12 Compare the reactants, products, and energy yield of the three stages of cellular respiration. 6.13 Compare the reactants, products, and energy yield of alcohol and lactic acid fermentation. 6.14 Describe the evolutionary history of glycolysis.
 * Stages of Cellular Respiration and Fermentation **

6.15 Explain how polysaccharides, fats, and proteins are used as fuel for cellular respiration. Explain why a gram of fat yields more ATP than a gram of starch or protein. 6.16 Explain how nutrients are used in biosynthesis.
 * Interconnections Between Molecular Breakdown and Synthesis **
