Photosynthesis+and+Respiration+In+Plain+English

This assignment is dedicated to that under-appreciated element, Hydrogen. It’s the most common element in the universe, and constantly gets pushed around by oxygen, carbon, and all the other elements that would like to “borrow” an electron for a while. But you are able to read this (and lament the challenge of a homework assignment) because of hydrogen, or more specifically the energy production it enables.

Your task is to create a COMIC STRIP that describes the adventure of Henry Hydrogen as he takes a journey from being part of a water molecule in a cloud, to being incorporated into a glucose molecule, transferred to the muscle cell of some animal, and ultimately becoming part of a water molecule in a cloud again. Can it be funny. . . sure. . . does it have to be funny. . . no.

To create your story work first on Photosynthesis. A great idea would be to create a rough copy or story board of your ideas from start to finish. This assignment is something where you have to have the end in mind before you begin. . . otherwise is turns into a bad movie.
 * Create a consistent scheme (ex. ATP and ADP show difference in phosphate)
 * Have what's called a "character arc" in the story.


 * __Scoring:__ **


 * Below is a list of important "characters" and processes to include, showing that you understand their significance and role: **


 * For Photosynthesis: **30 points
 * ** Hydrogen ** || ** Water ** || ** CO2 and O2 ** || ** ATP (ADP) ** ||
 * ** Glucose ** || ** RuBP ** || ** ATP Synthase ** || ** NADP+ (NADPH) ** ||
 * ** Electron Transport Chain (how electrons pull H’s to create H gradient ** |||| ** Oxidation / Reduction events **
 * (p.161 Campbell) ** ||
 * ** Photosystems ** || ** Calvin Cycle ** |||| ** An accounting of how many NADPH and ATP are required for one Glucose ** ||
 * ** PGal ** || ** Thylakoids ** ||  ||   ||

Repeate the process described above for Respiration - Both comics will be stitched together for a final production


 * For Respiration: 30 points **
 * ** Hydrogen ** || ** Water ** || ** CO2 and O2 ** || ** ATP (ADP) ** ||
 * ** Pyruvate ** || ** Acetyl Coenzyme A ** || ** Cytochrome Complex ** || ** FAD (FADH2) ** ||
 * ** Glucose ** || ** Glycoysis (p.166 Campbell) ** || ** ATP Synthase ** || ** NAD+ (NADH) ** ||
 * ** Citric Acid cycle ** |||| ** Oxidation / Reduction events ** ||
 * ** Electron Transport Chain (how electrons pull H’s to create H gradient ** |||| ** An accounting of how many NADPH FADH2 and ATP are produced by one Glucose ** ||
