| Investigation 5.2So Where Do We Get Energy? | Think back to the school analogy. In the school analogy we said that we might think of the cafeteria in the school like the mitochondria in the cell. | | Do you remember why? Look back at your notes and drawings. | |
| With your group, discuss why the mitochondria is like the cafeteria. Recall what other analogies your group generated that were like the mitochondria and what the cell may need to get energy. | |
| We know that the mitochondria is not a tiny cafeteria or fast food restaurant but that, like a cafeteria provides energy for you to work at school, the mitochondria provide a place where energy is obtained for the cell. | | Draw in your lab book what might happen inside the mitochondria to produce energy. | |
