Finally, we learned how photosynthesis works inside a chloroplast with the stroma and grana. It involves the electron transport chain (ECT) , the ATP Synthase, and the Calvin Cycle. The final vodcast of the unit explains cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria. It has three steps: Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the ECT. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration tie together and are essentially opposites.
My strengths are the parts of a cell and how eukaryotic cells came to be (through evolution). I understand how the cell works and what it does. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are a bit more complicated. I understand the basic steps, but I will go over them and then understand the specifics and the details, because they are both multi-step processes. My successes are the labs that we have completed and that I have completed and wrote a conclusion on. A setback was the fact that we could not complete the Microscopic Organism Lab, and we had to complete a packet instead. I am a better student now because I have learned from this unit. I am now thorough in the subject of cells and their functions. Two things I want to learn more about are photosynthesis and cellular. They are much more complicated than what we have learned. I wonder how complex these processes actually are. This unit has helped me learn and grow as a student.
