PHOTOSYNTHESIS, RESPIRATION

Standard 1f: Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by 
chloroplasts and is stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon 
dioxide. 

Stnadard 1g: Students know the role of the mitochondria in making stored 
chemical-bond energy available to cells by completing the breakdown of 
glucose to carbon dioxide. 

*Standard 1i: Students know how chemiosmotic gradients in the mitochondria 
and chloroplast store energy for ATP production.

Metabolism - Animation, by the same creaters of the animation of 
the Amylase reaction (If you know what I mean)
http://www.indiana.edu/~oso/animations/An7.html

Inner Life: Respiration in the Mitochondria. Created by the same 
animator of "The Inner Life of the Cell". Just as beautiful, but 
honestly - too complicated (for me, too) without a narrative. So, 
enjoy the view, and hope to get some explanations soon!
