That means that under the right conditions, you might be able to see an ameoba proteus, a human egg, and a paramecium without using magnification. A magnifying glass can help you to see them more clearly, but they will still look tiny. Four Stages of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is the sum of the various biochemical means that eukaryotic organisms employ to extract energy from food, specifically glucose molecules. The cellular respiration process includes four basic stages or steps: Glycolysis, which occurs in all organisms, prokaryotic and eukaryotic; the bridge reaction, which stets the stage for aerobic respiration; and the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, oxygen-dependent pathways that occur in sequence in the mitochondria. The steps of cellular respiration do not happen at the same speed, and the same set of reactions may proceed at different rates in the same organism at different times. For example, the rate of glycolysis in muscle cells would be expected to greatly increase during intense anaerobic exercise, which incurs an "oxygen debt," but the steps of aerobic respiration do not speed up appreciably unless exercise is performed at an aerobic, "pay-as-you-go" intensity level.

Diversity "Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness." - Ola Joseph "United we stand, divided we fall." - Aesop (620 -560 B.C.) 10 Tips for Teaching Cells - Getting Nerdy Science Graphic Organizers and Analogies: As students learn the names of all the crazy organelles found inside of bacteria, plant, and animal cells, the key to helping them remember the parts and functions is to use a cell organelle graphic organizer. We like to give student a template for detailing what kind of cell has these organelles, their locations, brief description of their appearance, and their function. In order to further help students retain the information we create a picture or drawing that incorporates all of the info they wrote about that organelle.
It's Plantin' Time! One of the most anticipated science units in my classroom is our study of life cycles. We spend most of our fourth quarter studying the life cycles of plants, butterflies, frogs, and mealworms. It's one of my most favorite times of the year and one that my kiddos really look forward to! Our end of the year open house falls during this time and we made these flower booklets from myLife Cycle of Plants unit to showcase our plant study.

Eukaryote Eukaryotes can reproduce both asexually through mitosis and sexually through meiosis and gamete fusion. In mitosis, one cell divides to produce two genetically identical cells. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell (haploid cells). These act as sex cells (gametes – each gamete has just one complement of chromosomes, each a unique mix of the corresponding pair of parental chromosomes) resulting from genetic recombination during meiosis.
