Station 1 (Cell Organelle Review)

Purpose: Review the function of different organelles in a eukaryotic cell.

Station 2 (Book Reading p. 91-94)

Purpose: Explain what happens in a yeast cell during respiration.
1. Make an outline of pages 91-94. Remember to look at the blue and red headings.
I. What is respiration?
A. Storing and releasing energy
B. Breathing and respiration
C. The Two stages of respiration
D. The respiration equation
E. Comparing photosynthesis and respiration
II. Fermentation
A. Alcoholic fermentation
B. Lactic acid fermentation

2. What is respiration? What happens during respiration? (p. 91) (it is when cells break down simple food
molecules such as sugar and release the energy they contain)
 3. Fill out the chart about the two stages of respiration. (p. 92 and/or the picture below)

Stages Which organelle is What happens?

involved?

First Stage cytoplasm molecules of glucose are

broken down into smaller
molecules

Second Stage mitochondria the small molecules are broken

down into even smaller
molecules, witch need oxygen
to happen

4. List the raw materials and products of respiration. (use the picture above)

Respiration

Raw Materials Products

sugar carbon dioxide, energy

oxygen water, energy

5. Match the events in respiration with the stages in which they occur. The items in the second column
may be used more than once.

Event in Respiration Stage of Process

B Takes place in the mitochondria

A. First stage only

A Takes place in the cytoplasm B. Second stage only
C. Both first and second stages
B Carbon dioxide is released
 C Energy is released

A Glucose molecules are broken down

Station 3 (Book Reading p. 236-241)

Purpose: Explain what fungi are, how they get food, and their role in the environment.

Before you read, preview the red headings. In the graphic organizer below, ask a what or how
question for each heading. As you read, write answers to your question. The first one is done for you.
Red heading Question Answer

What are Fungi? What are fungi? fungi are eukaryotes that have cell
walls, are heterotrophs that feed
by absorbing their food, and use
spores to reproduce

Reproduction in Fungi How do fungi reproduce? fungi usually reproduce by making

spores. Lightweight spores are
surrounded by a protective
covering and can be carried easily
through air or water to new sites

The role of Fungi in Nature
What is the role of fungi in nature?
Many fungi provide food to people.
Fungi play important roles as
decomposers and recyclers on
earth. Some fungi cause disease
while others fight disease. Still
other fungi live in symbiosis with
other organisms

1. Highlight the sentences about fungi that are TRUE.

a. All fungi are multicellular organisms.
b. They are eukaryotes.
c. Most use spores to reproduce.
d. They are autotrophs (make their own food using the sun).
2. What are three examples of fungi? (p. 236) (Mushroom, cube fungi, sac fungi)
Skip page 237.
3. Explain what happens in yeast. (p. 239) (they use sugar for food and create carbon dioxide while they
eat, which makes the dough rise)
4. What do decomposers do? (240) (they recycle dead plants and animals and turns it to the soil)
5. Give an example of a disease-fighting fungi and a disease-causing fungi. (p. 240) (penicillin and
athlete's foot)

Station 4 (Yeast Model)

Purpose: Create a concept map that explains how the organelles are causing the bread to rise.

Take a picture of your concept map. Then write a paragraph that explains what is happening in your
model.
 Sugar is going into the cell membrane and then being transferred to the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm
then sends the sugar to the mitochondria which turns the food into energy to power the rest of the
cell. It then sends the excess food to the lysosome which breaks it down and throws out the rest,
which happens to be carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide that is released causes the bread to become
fluffy.
