29 slides cover: respiration.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered /:
4.4.2.1 Aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Students should be able to describe cellular respiration as an exothermic reaction which is continuously occurring in living cells.
The energy transferred supplies all the energy needed for living processes.
Respiration in cells can take place aerobically (using oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen), to transfer energy.
Students should be able to compare the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration with regard to the need for oxygen, the differing products and the relative amounts of energy transferred.
Organisms need energy for:
• chemical reactions to build larger molecules
• movement
• keeping warm.
Aerobic respiration is represented by the equation: glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water
Students should recognise the chemical symbols: C6H12O6, O2, CO2 and H2O.
Anaerobic respiration in muscles is represented by the equation: glucose lactic acid
As the oxidation of glucose is incomplete in anaerobic respiration much less energy is transferred than in aerobic respiration.
Anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells is represented by the equation:
Glucose --> ethanol + carbon dioxide
Anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is called fermentation and has economic importance in the manufacture of bread and alcoholic drinks.
**4.4.2.2 Response to exercise **
During exercise the human body reacts to the increased demand for energy.
The heart rate, breathing rate and breath volume increase during exercise to supply the muscles with more oxygenated blood.
If insufficient oxygen is supplied anaerobic respiration takes place in muscles. The incomplete oxidation of glucose causes a build up of lactic acid and creates an oxygen debt. During long periods of vigorous activity muscles become fatigued and stop contracting efficiently.
(HT only) Blood flowing through the muscles transports the lactic acid to the liver where it is converted back into glucose. Oxygen debt is the amount of extra oxygen the body needs after exercise to react with the accumulated lactic acid and remove it from the cells.

17 slides covering Cell division (chromosomes, mitosis and the cell cycle)
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
4.1.2.1 Chromosomes
The nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes made of DNA molecules. Each chromosome carries a large number of genes.
In body cells the chromosomes are normally found in pairs.
**4.1.2.2 Mitosis and the cell cycle **
Cells divide in a series of stages called the cell cycle. Students should be able to describe the stages of the cell cycle, including mitosis.
During the cell cycle the genetic material is doubled and then divided into two identical cells.
Before a cell can divide it needs to grow and increase the number of sub-cellular structures such as ribosomes and mitochondria. The DNA replicates to form two copies of each chromosome.
In mitosis one set of chromosomes is pulled to each end of the cell and the nucleus divides.
Finally the cytoplasm and cell membranes divide to form two identical cells.
Students need to understand the three overall stages of the cell cycle but do not need to know the different phases of the mitosis stage.
Cell division by mitosis is important in the growth and development of multicellular organisms.
Students should be able to recognise and describe situations in given contexts where mitosis is occurring.
