In the twenties, there was increased urbanization in the form of people moving towards the cities from the country. This decade was also a time of science advancement and the secularization of schools and businesses. Some people and businesses pushed back, wanting more religion in things.

(The Agricultural Adjustment Act)-After one federal Justice retired FDR replaced him with a liberal. Court rulings began to favor the New Deal.Three Fiery Critics*American Liberty League- opponents of the New Deal.Three of the strongest critics were:1. *Coughlin- a Roman Catholic priest from Detroit was first in favor of the New Deal-but soon favored a guaranteed annual income and the nationalization of banks.-His increasingly anti-semantic (anti-Jewish) views eventually cost him support.2. *Townsend- a physician and health officer in California.-Believed that FDR was not doing enough to help the poor and elderly.3. *Long- a senator from Louisiana who was also an early supporter of the New Deal who was eager to win the presidency for himself.

What are the 2 metabolic pathways a cell can use and what determines which pathway is used?Aerobic respiration & anaerobic respiration; they depend on the presence or absence of oxygen2. Write the overall equation for cellular respiration.Aerobic: Glucose + oxygen yields carbon dioxide + waterAnaerobic (alcohol fermentation): Glucose→ ethanol alcohol + carbon dioxideAnaerobic (lactate formation): Glucose → lactic acid3. What are the 3 phases of the cellular respiration process?Aerobic: Glycolysis & Kreb's cycle/electron transport chainAnaerobic: Glycolysis & Lactate Formation or Alcohol Feremntation4. Where in the cell does the glycolysis part of cellular respiration occur? Why?Cytoplasm; the necessary enzymes are located there5. Where in the cell does the Krebs (Citric Acid) cycle part of cellular respiration occur? Why?Mitochondrial matrix; the necessary enzymes are located there6. Where in the cell does the electron transport part of cellular respiration occur? Why?Mitochondrial membrane/cristae; increased surface area for more ATP production7. How many ATP are made in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?28. How many ATP are made in the Kreb's cycle part of cellular respiration?29. How many ATP are made in the electron transport part of cellular respiration?3210. In which phase of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide made?Kreb's cycle11. What are NAD+ and FAD? What do they do and what do they become?They are electron carriers in the ETC; they become NADH and FADH212. In which phase of cellular respiration is water made?ETC13. What would happen to the cellular respiration process if the enzyme (aka catalyst) for one step of the process was missing or defective?The process would stop and no more products would be made14. Where does the process of fermentation take place?cytoplasm15.Crista (plural cristae)What are the products of lactate fermentation?Lactic acid16. What are the products of ethanol fermentation?Ethanol and carbon dioxide17. Draw and label a mitochondrion and include all of the parts that are used during cellular respiration.Answer given and labeled picture given aboveHoover believed in a balanced budget and not pumping government money into the economy. He believed in "rugged individualism" and relied on the individual, the churches and private charities, and the local and state governments to handle most of the economic help that was needed. FDR believed in a "hands on" approach to help solve the Great Depression. He favored federal government activity and the New Deal enacted laws that influenced society on a daily basis on the part of the federal government. he relied on people helping other people and slowly building up corporations that can be made to help people, these corporations or groups may consist of the red cross etc. FDR wouldn't quit till he was dead. Hoover was just trapped by his beliefs.He restored hope and self-respect to tens of millions of desperate people, when he built labor unions, upgraded the national infrastructure and saved capitalism in his first term.Photosynthesis Worksheet1. What is the overall reaction for photosynthesis?6 CO2 + 6 H2O à glucose (C6H12O6) + 6 O22. How does this compare to the overall reaction for cellular respiration?It is the reverse of the overall reaction for cellular respiration.3. Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?from sunlight4. What plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis?chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids5. Explain why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light that strike a chlorophyll molecule.We see light that bounces off of objects (reflected light). Chlorophyll is best at trapping and absorbing the red - orange wavelengths of light and the blue, indigo, and violet wavelengths of light. It is not good at absorbing the green wavelengths. The green light is reflected, so it is the part we see. Therefore, chlorophyll looks green to us.6. How does the amount of energy in light change as the wavelength increases?As wavelength increases, amount of energy decreases. Thus, violet light (which has a shorter wavelength) has more energy that red light (which has a longer wavelenth).7. Which colors of light are most effective for photosynthesis? Explain why.Chlorophyll looks green to us because most of the green wavelengths are reflected rather than being absorbed. For this reason, green light is not an effective color of light to power photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a and b together absorb light most effectively in the blue to violet range and the orange to red range. Since violet wavelengths have the most energy in the visible light range (due to their shorter wavelengths) they can provide the maximum energy for photosynthesis.8. In what organelle of a plant cell does photosynthesis take place?in the chloroplasts9. What are the two stages of photosynthesis?light reactions and Calvin cycle10. In which part of the chloroplast does each stage occur?The light reactions take place in the thylakoids.The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma.11. What happens to water molecules in the light reactions?Water molecules (H2O) are split to give electrons, H+ ions, and oxygen gas (O2) .12. What photosynthesis waste product is formed in the light reactions?oxygen gas (O2)13. What two products of the light reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle?ATP and NADPH14. What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the Calvin cycle reactions?In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) are combined with each other and with the electrons and H's from NADPH to form glucose (C6H12O6).15. How can cells store the sugar that is produced in photosynthesis?It is stored as starch.16. Label the diagram below to summarize the two stages of photosynthesis. Use the word bank below the diagram to fill in the blanks.Word list:thylakoids Calvin cycle CO2 NADP+granum light NADPH O2stroma H2O ATP ADP + Plight reactions sugarThe Great Depression: BELL WORK•During the Roaring Twenties, many Americans enjoyed what seemed like an endless era of prosperity. Then, in October 1929, the mighty bull market crashed. As production fell and unemployment rose, the U.S. economy lurches into a period of dramatic decline. Years after the Great Depression began, many Americans came to see this contraction as a regular feature of the nation's business cycle.•How did the prosperity of the 1920s give way (cause) to the Great Depression?•What should the US government do (if anything), in your opinion, to help the situation?The Longest and worst economic crisis in our nation's history.1929-1941October 29, 1929- "Black Tuesday"The Stock Market Crash-Why did it occur?Think about stock speculation, think about buying on margin,Think about the economic cycle and values of stocks, think about buy now and pay later.Causes of the Great DepressionA. Slow down of the economy caused by:1. Unsold inventories to begin to pile up2.Shrinking investments3.Workers to be laid off4.Reduced buying powerB. American Business was unbalancedAutomobiles and housingconstruction fueled economic boom of the 1920s-what happens when these things slow down??C.Poor distribution of income(purchasing power) weakened the economyD.An enormous amount of debtE.Hoarding Money-no recirculationF.The Federal Reserve-limited $ supply to discourage lendingG.Smoot-Hawley Tariff-raised prices on foreign imports so they could not compete in the American Market.Results of theEconomic Crisis •Record Unemployment•Banking Crisis-over 9000 banks closed by1932•Reduced Wages•Reduced Confidence•World Wide Economic Collapse•Record homelessness-"Hoovervilles"There were 16 million unemployed-about one third of the available labor force. The gross national product declined from the 1929 figure of $103,828,000,000 to $55,760,000,000 in 1933.
