Remember that glycolysis will take place whether oxygen is present or not. It is the first set or reactions for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

If oxygen is present, and the cell is able to carry out the electron transport chain, these events will take place on the inner mitochondrial membrane. If oxygen should run out, the electrons get jammed in the electron transport chain, and the system switches over to lactic acid fermentation.

Johnny Lee’s YouTube about the WiiMote project prompted my first attempt at creating an IR pen to use in my class room. The ingredients were: 1N battery + holder, one IR LED (be sure to grab IR, and not just a random color), a momentary switch, a bit of wire, and a 15ohm resistor. All of this was placed into a dried out expo marker, using a chopped BIC mechanical pencil to hold the interior parts in place.

For a one hour, no plans/measurements build I was pleased with the results. Hopefully a touch sensitive tip is on the way for the pen soon.
