Metabolism and the liver lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes powerpoint timers, slide animations, embedded video's and mini review. NB: If you are unable to play embedded videos please view slide notes for link.
AQA spec link: 4.4.2.1
Relevant chapter: B9 Respiration. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 140-141
Students are required to know the following;
Students should be able to explain the importance of sugars, amino
acids, fatty acids and glycerol in the synthesis and breakdown of
carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
Metabolism is the sum of all the reactions in a cell or the body.
The energy transferred by respiration in cells is used by the organism
for the continual enzyme controlled processes of metabolism that
synthesise new molecules.
Metabolism includes:
•conversion of glucose to starch, glycogen and cellulose
•the formation of lipid molecules from a molecule of glycerol and three
molecules of fatty acids
• the use of glucose and nitrate ions to form amino acids which in turn
are used to synthesise proteins
• respiration
•breakdown of excess proteins to form urea for excretion.
All of these aspects are covered in more detail in the relevant specification section but are linked together here.
