Topic 5.2: Respiration (AQA A-level Biology)

All 7 of the lessons in this bundle are fully-resourced and have been designed to cover the content as detailed in topic 5.2 (Respiration) of the AQA A-Level Biology specification. The specification points that are covered within these lessons include:

• Respiration produces ATP
• Glycolysis as the first stage of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
• The phosphorylation of glucose and the production and oxidation of triose phosphate
• The production of lactate or ethanol in anaerobic conditions
• The Link reaction
• The oxidation-reduction reactions of the Krebs cycle
• The synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation
• The chemiosmotic theory
• Lipids and proteins as respiratory substrates

The lessons have been written to include a wide range of activities and numerous understanding and prior knowledge checks so students can assess their progress against the current topic as well as be challenged to make links to other sub-topics within this topic and earlier topics
