Cape Biology

This document contains a biology worksheet covering energetics topics like photosynthesis, respiration, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain. It asks students to: 1) Explain the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration and how it allows for more efficient ATP production than anaerobic respiration. 2) Describe oxidative phosphorylation and what happens without oxygen. 3) Draw and label a diagram of a mitochondrion and explain features like the folded inner membrane and chemiosmotic theory. 4) Outline the Krebs cycle and roles of NAD and explain lower ATP yield from anaerobic respiration. The worksheet asks students to compare processes like the Krebs cycle and
