This fully-resourced lesson uses real-life examples in plants and animals to explain why cellular respiration is so important. The PowerPoint and accompanying resources have been designed to cover point 5.2.2 (a) of the OCR A-level Biology A specification but can also be used as a revision tool to challenge the students on their knowledge of active transport, nervous transmission and muscle contraction.
As the first lesson in this module, it has been specifically planned to act as an introduction to this cellular reaction and provides important details about glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation that will support the students to make significant progress when these stages are covered during individual lessons. Students met phosphorylation in module 5.2.1 when considering the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and their knowledge of the production of ATP in this plant cell reaction is called on a lot in this lesson to show the similarities. The students are also tested on their recall of the structure and function of ATP, as covered in module 2.1.3, through a spot the errors task. By the end of the lesson, the students will be able to explain why the ATP produced in cellular respiration is needed by root hair cells, by companion cells and in the selective reabsorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule. They will also be able to name and describe the different types of phosphorylation and will know that ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle and by oxidative phosphorylation in the final stage of aerobic respiration with the same name.

Module 5.2: Photosynthesis & Respiration (OCR A-level Biology A)
Photosynthesis and respiration are two of the most commonly-assessed topics in the terminal A-level exams but are often poorly understood by students. These 16 lessons have been intricately planned to contain a wide range of activities that will engage and motivate the students whilst covering the key detail to try to deepen their understanding and includes exam-style questions so they are prepared for these assessments. The following specification points in modules 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 of the OCR A-level Biology A course are covered by these lessons: * The structure of a chloroplast and the sites of the two main stages of photosynthesis * The importance of the photosynthetic pigments * Using thin-layer chromatography to separate photosynthetic pigments * The light-dependent stage of photosynthesis * The fixation of carbon dioxide and the light-independent stage of photosynthesis * The uses of triose phosphate * Factors affecting photosynthesis * 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 chemiosmostic theory * The process of anaerobic respiration in eukaryotes * The relative energy values of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins as respiratory substrates * The use of the respiratory quotient Due to the detail of these lessons, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 2 months of A-level lessons to cover this module If you would like to sample the quality of the lessons, download the uses of triose phosphate, link reaction and respiratory substrates lessons as these have been shared for free

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
