California Content Standards (7-8 th ) Grade LevelSubjectStandards Addressed 7 th Grade Life Science Cell Biology 1.a. Students know cells function similarly in all living organisms. 1.d. Students know that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis. Structure and Function in Living Systems 5.a. Students know plants and animals have levels of organization for structure and function, including cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the whole organism. 5b. Students know organ systems function because of the contributions of individual organs, tissues, and cells. The failure of any part can affect the entire system. Investigation & Experimentation 7.a. Select and use appropriate tools and technology (including calculators, computers, balances, spring scales, microscopes, and binoculars) to perform tests, collect data, and display data. 7.c. Communicate the logical connection among hypotheses, science concepts, tests conducted, data collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence.

California Content Standards (9-12 th ) Grade LevelSubjectStandards Addressed High School Biology Cell Biology 1.b. Students know enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without altering the reaction equilibrium and the activities of enzymes depend on the temperature, ionic conditions, and the pH of the surroundings. 1.g. Students know the role of the mitochondria in making stored chemical- bond energy available to cells by completing the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide. 1.i. Students know how chemiosmotic gradients in the mitochondria and chloroplast store energy for ATP production. Physiology 9.a. Students know how the complementary activity of major body systems provides cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon dioxide. Investigation & Experimentation 1.a. Select and use appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, analyze relationships, and display data. 1.c. Identify possible reasons for inconsistent results, such as sources of error or uncontrolled conditions. 1.d. Formulate explanations by using logic and evidence. 1.j. Recognize the issues of statistical variability and the need for controlled tests. 1.l. Analyze situations and solve problems that require combining and applying concepts from more than one area of science.

Today… Work in your RS/CT pairs 11:00-11:45 Set up and perform the cricket respiration experiment (Stations 1-4) 11:45-12:00 Walk-through of Extension Activity
26
Extension Activity Purpose Help students see connection between module content and their own physiology How Estimate human metabolic rate based on cricket metabolic rate Reinforces concepts: Your cells use same cellular processes to make ATP as a cricket Body size (# of cells) determines how quickly you use energy
27
What factors determine metabolic rate? 1. Temperature 2. Phylogeny 3. Body Mass Metabolic rate scales with body mass according to: MR = aM 0.75 MR – metabolic rate M – body mass a – constant that depends on the animal in question
28
Scaling of metabolic rate Mass = 10 gMass = 20 g MR = 10 mL O2/minMR = 16.8 L O2/min MR = aM 0.75

How can we use this equation?
