Module 5.2.2: Respiration (OCR A-level Biology A)

All 9 of the lessons included in this bundle are fully resourced and have been designed to cover the detailed content of module 5.2.2 (Respiration) of the OCR A-Level Biology A specification.

The following specification points are covered by this bundle of lessons:

• The need for cellular respiration
• The structure of the mitochondrion
• The process and site of glycolysis
• The link reaction and its site in the cell
• The process and site of the Krebs cycle
• The importance of coenzymes in cellular respiration
• The process and site of oxidative phosphorylation
• The chemiosmotic theory
• The process of anaerobic respiration in eukaryotes
• The difference in the relative energy values of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins
• The use and interpretation of the respiratory quotient

All of the lessons are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks so that students can assess their understanding of the current topic as well as prior knowledge checks to enable links between topics and modules to be seen

It is estimated that these lessons will cover in excess of a month’s A-level Biology teaching time
