2.) Then Show what happens if the cell runs out of Carbon Dioxide, Rubisco tries to use ATP and NADPH, and O2 to make PGAL with No success-Photorespiration.

Your job for the field trip is to select 3 plants in three different locations of the hike and report on them. You are to look for them and take many pictures of those plants.
Categories:
Dune Plants: Cottonwood trees, marram grass.
Other Plants: Little bluestem, oak trees, wild grape, hop tree, jack pine, sand cherry, basswood, pick a pond plant and take as many pictures as possible.
Succulents: Prickly Pear Cactus.
Where they are found, pictures, description showing the plant, it's adaptations to survive in the locations that it exists. (Water loss, photorespiration)

Also: Take pictures showing the process of beach succession (after the waves) and secondary succession (after the sandmine)

Monday
1.) Large overview of Respiration (on sheet of paper), Looking at Glycolysis image on pg. 95, then 6.8, then Krebs Cycle Image
2.) Read Chapter Tonight
2.) Electron Transport Chain Role Play
10 H's
2 e's
3 membrane proteins
2 ATP Synthase
2 ADP
2 P
1 NADH (who holds an H and e)
1 FADH2 (who holds an H and e)
-FADH2 and NADH hold their electons really high in the air, then they pass them to a membrane protein, who also holds it very high in the air. As the membrane protein passes the electron to the next protein, the electron gets lower and lower to the ground. As the electron is transported, H+ ions go into the membrane. After the membrane fills with H, they go through the ATP synthase to make ATP from ADP and P.
