 * __8.1 Cell respiration __**

8.1.1 State that oxidation involves the loss of electrons from an element, whereas reduction involves a gain of electrons; and that oxidation frequently involves gaining oxygen or losing hydrogen, whereas reduction frequently involves losing oxygen or gaining hydrogen. 8.1.2 Outline the process of glycolysis, including phosphorylation, lysis, oxidation and ATP formation. 8.1.3 Draw and label a diagram showing the structure of a mitochondrion as seen in electron micrographs. 8.1.4 Explain aerobic respiration, including the link reaction, the Krebs cycle, the role of NADH + H + , the electron transport chain and the role of oxygen. 8.1.5 Explain oxidative phosphorylation in terms of chemiosmosis 8.1.6 Explain the relationship between the structure of the mitochondrion and its function.


 * __8.2 Photosynthesis __**

8.2.1 Draw and label a diagram showing the structure of a chloroplast as seen in electron micrographs. 8.2.2 State that photosynthesis consists of light-dependent and light independent reactions. 8.2.3 Explain the light-dependent reactions. 8.2.4 Explain photophosphorylation in terms of chemiosmosis. 8.2.5 Explain the light-independent reactions. 8.2.6 Explain the relationship between the structure of the chloroplast and its function. <span style="font-family: "MyriadPro-Regular","sans-serif"; font-size: 12px;">8.2.7 Explain the relationship between the action spectrum and the absorption spectrum of photosynthetic pigments in green plants. <span style="font-family: "MyriadPro-Regular","sans-serif"; font-size: 12px;">8.2.8 Explain the concept of limiting factors in photosynthesis, with reference to light intensity, temperature and concentration of carbon dioxide.
