8.1: Metabolism

8.2: Cell Respiration

8.3: Photosynthesis

In the Metabolism Unit, we will learn the importance of enzymes and how they speed up metabolic pathways. We will also look
at enzyme inhibitors and how metabolic pathways can be regulated through feedback mechanisms.

In the Cell Respiration unit, we will expand our knowledge of Topic 2.8. We will explore the structure of the mitochondria and
identify how it is adapted to produce energy. We will also identify specific metabolic pathways of Glycolysis and the Kreb Cycles

In the Photosynthesis unit, we will expand our knowledge from Topic 2.9. We will explore the structure of the chloroplast and
identify how it is adapted to absorb light energy. We will also identify specific metabolic pathways of the light-dependent and
light-independent reactions

Inquiry & Purpose

Transfer Goals

1. Metabolic reactions are regulated in response to the cell’s needs.

2. Energy is converted to a usable form in cell respiration

3. Light energy is converted into chemical energy.
