During the week before March Break we finished up studying aerobic cellular respiration and then we discussed metabolic rate, alternative pathways for nutrients such as triglycerides and amino acids.
Today we discussed anaerobic respiration (a.k.a., fermentation). Students completed a fill in the blank worksheet on ethanol and lactic acid fermentation. They are now working on textbook questions (see under the Homework section) and their cell respiration maps. These "maps" will be due next Monday. Tomorrow is a work period for the text questions and the map.
