Reactants and Products of Cellular Respiration
Students will be introduced to both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration through guided notes. They will practice what they learned through a
guided practice and a handout, emphasizing the reactants and products of both types of cellular respiration.

LESSON CONTENT
Lesson Plan Template: General Lesson Plan
Learning Objectives: What should students know and be able to do as a result of this lesson?
Students will be able to state the reactants and products of aerobic cellular respiration and anaerobic cellular respiration.
Prior Knowledge: What prior knowledge should students have for this lesson?
General concept of photosynthesis (referenced in "Teaching Phase" PowerPoint).
Guiding Questions: What are the guiding questions for this lesson?
How are the reactants and products of aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration different?
Teaching Phase: How will the teacher present the concept or skill to students?
This part of the lesson will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Ask students the following question: "What's the fastest a person can run 100 meters? Just for a reference a football field is approximately 110 meters." Student
responses: 25 seconds, 1 minute, 15 seconds. Record time on board.
Show this video titled "Usain Bolt Beats Gay and Sets New Record" (2:09, uploaded by YouTube user sportsnetwork).
Then say: "The winner in the video is a Jamaican Olympian, Usain Bolt. He set the world record at 9.58 seconds. How do you think he was able to run this fast?"
Student responses: practice, training, genetics, eating healthy, resting, etc. "What was fueling his body during that 9.58 seconds?" Student response: food,
page 1 of 3 muscles, blood. Finally say: "Today we are going to learn about how your body does the same processes as Usain to obtain energy from food."
This part of the lesson will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Guided notes on reactants and products of cellular respiration. Students will use the attached Guided Notes Student Handout during the presentation of the
attached Cellular Respiration PowerPoint. During slide 8, students fill out T-chart first, then go over as a class. During slide 12 and 13, use this as the guided
practice. See guided practice section (below).
Guided Practice: What activities or exercises will the students complete with teacher guidance?
This part of the lesson will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
1. Using the Cellular Respiration PowerPoint, complete slides 12 and 13 with students.
Slide 12 reviews cellular respiration reactants for aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.
Answers: Aerobic Cellular respiration: glucose and oxygen; Anaerobic cellular respiration: glucose
Slide 13 reviews cellular respiration products for first aerobic then anaerobic cellular respiration.
Answers: Aerobic Cellular respiration: carbon dioxide, water, and 36-38 ATP; anaerobic cellular respiration: carbon dioxide, lactic acid or ethyl alcohol and
2 ATP
2. Check for student understanding: Think, pair, share.
Students independently fill in answers on guided notes handout (1 min)
Students share answers with a partner (1 min)
Partners share answers with the class
Teacher calls on groups of students to share (2min)
Teacher addresses any misconceptions or errors during this time
Common errors/misconceptions to anticipate and how to respond: ATP is produced in anaerobic cellular respiration during glycolysis, however, fermentation produces
no additional ATP.
Independent Practice: What activities or exercises will students complete to reinforce the concepts and skills developed in the
lesson?
This part of the lesson will take 10 minutes to complete.
Students complete the review handout independently. Read handout together as a class. If students do not complete by end of period, then complete for
homework. See the review handout key for sample answers.
Answer key:
Aerobic: reactants – oxygen and glucose, products – carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP), purpose – obtain energy, oxygen required ­ yes, summary ­ requires
oxygen and produces energy
Anaerobic: reactants –glucose, products – carbon dioxide and lactic acid or ethyl alcohol, purpose – obtain energy, oxygen required ­ no, summary ­ produces no
more energy, two types lactate and ethanol fermentation
Check for student understanding: Collect and grade.
Common errors/misconceptions to anticipate and how to respond: Read handout together as a class addressing all expectations for each section.
Closure: How will the teacher assist students in organizing the knowledge gained in the lesson?
This part of the lesson will take 5 minutes to complete.
Teacher asks students: "Can someone summarize cellular respiration?"
Possible student responses: breakdown food for energy, two types aerobic and anaerobic, reactants are products are different for aerobic and anaerobic cellular
respiration, aerobic – reactants = oxygen and glucose/ products = carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP), anaerobic – reactants = glucose / products = carbon
dioxide and lactic acid or ethanol alcohol
Summative Assessment
This will occur during the guided practice section of the lesson. Teacher circulates room while students complete the review handout.
Formative Assessment
Check for understanding and/or grade the review handout using the review handout key.
Feedback to Students
Anaerobic is without the presence of oxygen and aerobic occurs when oxygen is available.
ACCOMMODATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Accommodations:
Allow extended time to complete the review handout. Students can complete for homework.
page 2 of 3 Extensions:
List three organisms that complete only fermentation. What do they produce?
Describe two times in the past week where your body switched from aerobic to anaerobic cellular respiration. What was the indicator that the switch was
occurring?
Suggested Technology: Internet Connection, Interactive Whiteboard, LCD Projector, Microsoft Office
Special Materials Needed:
• Cellular respiration PowerPoint
• Guided notes student handout
• Review handout
• YouTube video titled "Usain Bolt Beats Gay and Sets New Record"
