Description
For a class of 32 students working in pairs. This kit highlights physiological differences between aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation. Students learn about the production of ATP in glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport system, and then compare these to the ATP production of both lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation.
They observe a demonstration of carbon dioxide production by the aerobic respiration of wheat seeds and the anaerobic respiration of yeast.
Next, students apply scientific methodology to investigate yeast alcohol fermentation in the presence of different sugars. They answer questions, perform calculations, and interpret results to evaluate their hypothesis and demonstrate their learning.
