Outline respiration in anaerobic conditions in mammals (lactate fermentation) and in yeast cells (ethanol fermentation)
Describe the relationship between the structure and function of mitochondria using diagrams and electron micrographs
Describe the role of NAD and FAD in transferring hydrogen to carriers in the inner mitochondrial membrane
Explain that reactions in the Krebs cycle involve decarboxylation and dehydrogenation and the reduction of the coenzymes NAD and FAD
Describe and carry out investigations, using simple respirometers, to determine the RQ of germinating seeds or small invertebrates (e.g. blowfly larvae)
Calculate RQ values of different respiratory substrates from equations for respiration
State that the respiratory quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the number of molecules of carbon dioxide produced to the number of molecules of oxygen taken in, as a result of respiration
Explain the relative energy values of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins as respiratory substrates
Describe the features of ATP that make it suitable as the universal energy currency
Outline the need for energy in living organisms, as illustrated by active transport, movement and anabolic reactions, such as those occurring in DNA replication and protein synthesis
