Teaching Aids on Cellular Respiration

The TCA Cycle & Oxidative Phosphorylation

A package of CAL based teaching aids covering the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Designed for use by first year science undergraduates to supplement lectures and tutorials in Biochemistry and related courses. The programs have been developed using the Asymetrix Toolbook authoring program and includes:

1. Interactive problem solving exercise on the TCA Cycle. Unknown solutions are identified using 'Krebs like' oxygen electrode experiments. The problem is very challenging and is not intended as a 'teach yourself' package. It is used to reinforce existing knowledge of the TCA cycle and to show how metabolic poisons can be used to elucidate biochemical pathways.
2. Computer animations illustrating key concepts. These are designed for use both in lectures and as reference material for private study on computer clusters.
3. 70+ drill questions on the topic presented in simple but attractive format. Used by undergraduates to learn basic facts and grasp elementary concepts as preparation for, or revision of, complementary lecture and tutorial material.

Features

• good example of CAL material that is well integrated with conventional teaching methods
• excellent graphics and animations
• designed for use by large numbers at an elementary level
