Cellular Respiration and pH: blocking the electron transport chain and its effects on the proton gradient, pH, and ATP production

Evdokia Kastanos, Julie Takacs, Shannon Dahl, Padmavathi Tangirala, Ben Nicholson, Susan Warner

Version: 1.0

This module contains exercises designed to help students describe the stages of cellular respiration and quantify the energy molecules produced. Students will predict the region of higher proton concentration in active mitochondria, calculate pH and predict pH changes in mitochondrial compartments. Students will also predict the effect of electron transport blockers on the proton gradient, pH, and energy production.

Osmosis: Determination of the rate of osmosis and the isotonic concentration

Julie Takacs, Evdokia Kastanos, Vedham Karpakakunjaram, Robin Minor

Version: 1.0

This module contains exercises designed to help students understand how solute concentrations affect the direction and rate of osmosis. Students are given different scenarios to predict the direction of water movement, calculate the rate of change in mass and create graphs to determine the isotonic concentration.
