Biology is about studying life, and since you're alive, it's really about you. Hopefully you'll find this very interesting!

96 BIg Picture part 2 - Energy in Organisms

We're looking at the big picture of energy, and how cells use it for metabolism to make the changes (reactions) necessary to stay alive... Make sure you can explain:
  • the role of ATP,
  • how cellular respiration and photosynthesis are related,
  • and where do chloroplasts and mitochondria fit into the picture.  
  • the roles of Glucose, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Water, and sunlight.
This video sums things up nicely, and was made by a student - why did he choose that song?

It's ridiculous how there are so many videos and sites about this; let us know if you find one that's really helpful!

For you above and beyonders...
Here's a really detailed video about cellular respiration - hang onto it for AP BIOLOGY

Bonus question - do you think chloroplasts and mitochondria have enzymes that make these reactions happen faster?
