Outcome:
  • Analyse the structure and regulation of biochemical pathways in cellular respiration


Cellular respiration as an example of biochemical pathways

  • The main inputs, outputs and locations of glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and electron transport chain including ATP yield 
  • The location, inputs and the difference in outputs of anaerobic fermentation in animals and yeasts
  • The factors that affect the rate of cellular respiration: temperature, glucose availability and oxygen concentration


Biotechnological applications of biochemical pathways

  • Uses and applications of anaerobic fermentation of biomass for biofuel production
