Mystery Jello Game
Get into groups.
-Look at the jello
-There is something wrong with one of them
-Spend 5 minutes in your group talking about what might have went wrong with the jello
-After 5 minutes I will let each group ask me one question
-If your group thinks they figured out what happened you can raise your hand and guess. (You need to be able to explain why)
-If your guess is wrong you are out of the game.
-The group that gets it right will be served jello by the other losing groups
The basics of glucose breakdown
Glycolysis
-Two parts
-Glucose activation
-Energy Harvesting
Glucose Activation
-Two phosphates are added to the glucose molecule (Phosphorylation)
-The two phosphates come from 2 ATP's
-The phosphorylated glucose molecule is called fructose bisphosphate
-Because fructose bisphosphate is unstable it breaks apart into two G3P's
-G3P stands for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
-The 3 is because of the number of carbons it has
Energy Harvesting
-The 2 G3P's lose their high energy phosphates releasing two ATP's each
-Two NADH are made
-Because their is 4 ATP's made and 2 ATP's used during the activation process we say there is a net gain of 2 ATP
-The two G3P's that lost their phosphates are now called pyruvate
-The goal of glycolysis is to make the two pyruvates so they can enter the mitochondria
Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise
-In order to enter the mitochondria and begin cellular respiration there must be oxygen present
-If there is oxygen present the process is known as aerobic respiration
-If there is no oxygen present then the pyruvate cannot enter the mitochondria
Now lets do a fermentation lab!
