This detailed lesson describes the roles of the link reaction and the Krebs cycle in the complete oxidation of glucose which occur in the mitochondrial matrix. The PowerPoint and the accompanying resource have been designed to cover point 7.3 of the Edexcel International A-level Biology specification and includes descriptions of the formation of carbon dioxide, ATP, reduced NAD and FAD

The lesson begins with a challenge, where the students have to recall the details of glycolysis in order to form the word matrix. This introduces the key point that these two stages occur in this part of the mitochondria and time is taken to explain why the reactions occur in the matrix as opposed to the cytoplasm like glycolysis. Moving forwards, the Link reaction is covered in 5 detailed bullet points and students have to add the key information to these points using their prior knowledge as well as knowledge provided in terms of NAD. The students will recognise that this reaction occurs twice per molecule of glucose and a quick quiz competition is used to test their understanding of the numbers of the different products of this stage. This is just one of the range of methods that are used to check understanding and all answers are explained to allow students to assess their progress. The rest of the lesson focuses on the Krebs cycle. In line with the detail of the specification, students will understand how decarboxylation and dehydrogenation reactions result in the regeneration of the oxaloacetate

Topic 7: Respiration, Muscles and the Internal Environment (Edexcel Int. A-level Biology)

This bundle contains 20 lesson PowerPoints which are highly detailed to ensure that the topic 7 content is covered at the depth required for A-level Biology. The lessons have been intricately planned to contain a wide variety of tasks that will engage and motivate the students whilst covering the current material and to make links to other lessons in this topic as well as to the previous 6 topics. The tasks, which include exam-style questions with mark schemes, guided discussion time and quick quiz competitions, cover the following points in the respiration, muscles and the internal environment topic of the Edexcel International A-level Biology specification: * The overall reaction of aerobic respiration * The many steps of respiration are controlled and catalysed by a specific intracellular enzyme * The roles of glycolysis in aerobic and anaerobic respiration * The role of the link reaction and the Krebs cycle in the complete oxidation of glucose * The synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation * The respiratory quotient * Know the way in which muscles, tendons, the skeleton and ligaments interact in movement * The contraction of skeletal muscle in terms of the sliding filament theory * The myogenic nature of cardiac muscle * The coordination of the heartbeat * The use of ECGs in the diagnosis of abnormal heart rhythms * The calculation of cardiac output * The control of heart rate and ventilation rate by the cardiovascular control centre and the ventilation centre in the medulle oblongata * The role of adrenaline in the fight or flight response * The principle of negative feedback in maintaining systems within narrow limits * The meaning of homeostasis and the maintenance of a dynamic equilibrium in exercise * The gross and microscopic structure of the mammalian kidney * Selective reabsorption in the proximal tubule * Water reabsorption in the loop of Henle * The control of mammalian plasma concentration * Switching genes on and off by DNA transcription factors and the roles of peptide and steroid hormones Due to the detail included in this lesson bundle, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 2 months of allocated A-level teaching time to cover the content If you would like to sample the quality of the lessons in the bundle, then download the skeletal muscle, coordination of the heartbeat, role of adrenaline and control of mammalian plasma concentration lessons as these have been uploaded for free The "negative and positive feedback" and "skeletal muscle" lessons are also uploaded on TES for free but haven't been included in this bundle as the resource limit has been reached

Photosynthesis & Respiration (Edexcel Int. A-level Biology)

Photosynthesis and respiration are two of the most commonly assessed topics in A-level exams but these questions are sometimes poorly answered by students due to a lack of understanding or an inability to apply their knowledge. With this in mind, these 8 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 fully prepared for these assessments. The following specification points in topics 5 and 7 of the Edexcel International A-level Biology specification are covered by these lessons: * Understand the overall reaction of photosynthesis * Understand the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis including the role of these electrons in generating ATP, reducing NADP in photophosphorylation and producing oxygen through photolysis of water * Understand the light-independent reactions as reduction of carbon dioxide using the products of the light-dependent reactions * Know that the products are simple sugars that are used by plants, animals and other organisms in respiration and the synthesis of new biological molecules * Understand the structure of chloroplasts in relation to their role in photosynthesis * Understand the overall reaction of aerobic respiration * Understand that respiration is a many-stepped process with each step controlled and catalysed by a specific intracellular enzyme * Understand the roles of glycolysis in aerobic and anaerobic respiration * Understand the role of the link reaction and the Krebs cycle in the complete oxidation of glucose and formation of carbon dioxide, ATP, reduced NAD and reduced FAD * Understand how ATP is synthesised by oxidative phosphorylation If you would like to sample the quality of the lessons in this bundle then download the products of photosynthesis lesson as this has been shared for free
