Question
I need help with writing Blooms Questions - Levels: Analyze, Evaluate, & Create ONLY please.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES... need a question for each objective, that corresponds to one or more of the learning outcomes listed below
CHAPTER 8 OBJECTIVES
- Identify the first two laws of thermodynamics and relate them to biological systems
- Explain what is meant by change in free energy and relate it to the following: spontaneous reactions, capacity to do work, stability, and exergonic and endergonic reactions.
- Use examples to illustrate the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to endergonic reactions.
- Explain how enzymes speed up metabolic reactions.
- Describe how regulation of enzyme activity
LEARNING OUTCOMES that correspong - may use one or more
2.9 Describe cell communication processes including: reception, transduction, response, and apoptosis
3. Discuss energy flow through cells and organisms.
3.1 Define energy, types of energy, and basic properties of energy
3.2 Explain how the nature of energy transformations is guided by the laws of thermodynamics
3.3 Distinguish between endergonic and exergonic reactions
3.4 Identify how cells control cellular metabolism
3.5 Describe how ATP functions as a universal energy carrier molecule
3.6 Describe the structure of the enzyme-substrate interaction
3.7 Explain how enzymes catalyze biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation
3.8 Compare and contrast the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration by writing the chemical equations and describe the organelles associated with each biological process
TEXTBOOK we use (for reference) is Campbell Biology 9th Edition - Chapter 8
The questions asking for a concept map I am pretty confident on so I don't really need an example for those, or at least I do not need an answer for them. I'm more intent on the question itself and wording - choosing a correct level. The three highest levels in Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis, Evaluation, & Create.
- I do not need help with lower level questions/thinking like application, knowledge, competence, etc.
Explanation / Answer
First law of thermodynamics in biological systems:-
All biological organisms require energy to survive.
In a closed system, such as the universe, this energy is not consumed but transformed from one form to another.
for example, perform a number of important processes. These processes require energy.
In photosynthesis the energy is supplied by the sun. Light energy is absorbed by cells in leaves and converted to chemical energy.
The chemical energy is stored in the form of glucose, which is used to form complex carbohydrates necessary to build plant mass. The energy stored in glucose can also be released through cellular respiration.
This energy is needed to perform cell functions.
Second law of thermodynamics:-
As with other biological processes, the transfer of energy is not 100% efficient. In photosynthesis, for example, not all of the light energy is absorbed by the plant. Some energy is reflected and some is lost as heat.
Unlike plants, animals can not generate energy directly from the sunlight. They must consume plants or other animal organisms for energy. The higher up an organism is on the food chain,the less available energy it receives from its food sources.
Much of this energy is lost during metabolic processes performed by the producers and primary consumers that are eaten. Therefore, much less energy is available for organisms in higher trophic levels.
