You are required to write an essay, with labelled diagrams, which demonstrates your understanding of cell metabolism. You must include the following within your essay: • An explanation of the generation of ATP in metabolism. • An explanation of the term metabolic pathway. • An explanation of how metabolic pathways are regulated. • An explanation of the significance of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle) in generating ATP. •
An explanation of the role of the Calvin Cycle. • An analysis of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondrion. • An analysis of photosynthesis in the chloroplast. You are required to include at least one labelled diagram to support each of these topics. GUIDANCE The essay should be written in paragraphs which flow; it is therefore recommended that you plan your essay before you start to write it. You must attempt to include some conclusions and recommendations towards the end of your essay. Relevant theory must be referenced where appropriate and a references list and bibliography provided. Remember to include labelled diagrams to support your explanations.
If these are taken from published sources you must reference them accordingly. Assignment Criteria AC 11.1: Explain the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in metabolism.
AC 11.2: Explain the term ‘metabolic pathway’ using an illustrative example. AC 11.3: Explain how metabolic pathways are regulated.
AC 21.1: Explain the significance of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in generating ATP.
AC 31.1: Explain the role of the Calvin cycle. AC 41.1: Analyse oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondrion. AC 41.2: Analyse photosynthesis in the chloroplast. The essay should be a maximum of 2,000 words in length.
