PERFORMANCE GOALS
In Chapter 9, students will learn how cellular respiration and fermentation provide
organisms with the energy they need to survive. Students will show this understand-
ing by interpreting multiple, detailed figures. They will also practice their data analysis
skills by collecting and interpreting data on the byproducts of cellular respiration. At
the end of the chapter, students will transfer their knowledge by keeping an exercise
journal and relating the entries to cellular respiration and fermentation.

BEGINNING WITH GLUCOSE
Why do biologists pay so much attention to glucose? It’s because most other food
molecules are broken down to release energy in much the same way. Proteins are
broken down into individual amino acids, which are converted to compounds that
can enter either glycolysis or the Krebs cycle. Carbohydrates are generally broken into Answers

Test-Taking Tip
INTERPRET GRAPHS
When answering questions about a line graph, suggest students first take the time
to analyze the graph before reading the questions. Begin by looking at the shape of
the line. Then, identify the variables labeled on each of the graph’s axes. Try to deter-
mine how the variables are related. That is, determine how one variable changes in
response to changes in the other variable. Finally, look again at the line. After analyz-
ing the graph, read and answer the questions that relate to the graph.
