WHICH FAMOUS LEADER?

A. STALINB. NAPOLEON

C. HENRY VIII

B. NAPOLEON

BIG IDEA:

Plants and animal cells break down sugar to obtain energy

in a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION,

which results in the production of CO2.

NONNA’S BREAD

• Light, light doughy

• Tweaked the standard recipe

• Pinch of this…Pinch of that…

Think – Pair - ShareIf you’re making bread,

why would you use yeast in the recipe?

respiration?

BACKGROUND: YEAST AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Yeast are tiny single-celled (unicellular) fungi. The organisms in the Kingdom Fungi are not capable of making their own food. Fungi, like any other organism, need food for energy. They rely on sugar found in their environment to provide them with this energy so that they can grow and reproduce.  Yeast, like bacteria grow in or on their food source. They produce and release digestive proteins (enzymes) into their environment where the sugar molecules are found. Complex sugar molecules then break down into monosaccharides that can be absorbed by the yeast and used for food (energy).  There are many species of yeast, and each has a particular food source. Certain yeast feed on a variety of natural sources of sugar such as fruits, nectar from plants, and molasses from the plant crop called sorghum. Others break down wood and corn stalks. In doing this, a compound called ethanol is produced. This compound can be used in our cars like gasoline. Another species break down sugar from grain into alcohol. Others break down fruits into wine, which is another type of alcohol. Bread recipes rely on yeast to break down sugar in flour.
