Reminders:
-Don't forget blog
-Cellular Respiration Quiz Thursday, November 5, 2009
-Cellular Respiration Test on Friday
-Cellular Respiration Test Tuesday, November 10, 2009
-U2 Tests

What we did today:
 1) Recap
-Mark unit exam (hand in ticket to the test: Perception Sheets)
- 4 stages of cellular respiration/ location
- Oxidation/ Reduction/ Phosphoylation... the last one was really messy on the board so it was hard to copy
- "NADH has reducing power" (what does this mean?)

**Don't forget to pick up the hand-outs that you have missed**

2) Sources of Energy for Cellular Respiration

3) ATP

4) Cellular Respiration Notes (which we finished)

My Thoughts of the MATERIAL

Well I thought that today was very difficult understanding all the different methods of learning NADH. It was the same material don't get me wrong but it was just repetitive. Kreb's Cycle is very easy everyone! It is just the over-all method of going from glycolysis to pyruvate oxidation to Kreb's Cycle to Electron Transport Chain (ETC) was difficult.
Too many questions were asked today! Like what is the formula for cellular respiration... well we should all know that by now! C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 36ATP
How does your body use proteins? Hormones, enzymes, structural components.
What do you need ATP for? Look at Pg.206 of the textbook at a very good diagram of the different uses of ATP!
