Cellular Metabolism Lab
We will walk through the steps of Cellular Respiration in this activity. Please do not skip ahead or leave out steps. This assignment will help you to gain a deeper understanding of cellular respiration (the process of making energy, ATP, the major contributor to our overall metabolism). Pages 941-948 in you TEXTBOOK should help you answer the questions.
This assignment is worth 72 pts total (each question is worth 1 point unless otherwise noted).
