...John P. Stanga; Troy R. Nash; Megan D. Pannell Concepts relating to enzymes and energy are central to understanding chemical and biological processes at the molecular level. Student learning of these crosscutting concepts can be challenging, so it is important to identify misconceptions...

...Aaron E. Kidd; Alex J. Sobotka; Benjamin A. Janney Energy and biomass distribution in the ecological sciences have long been approximated by complex, often idealized scientific models. When utilized appropriately, these models are powerful tools for students, who must organize evidence and make...

..., the overall goal being to develop a set of assessments that ask students to connect their knowledge across introductory chemistry and biology courses. Here, we describe the development and testing of an activity that focuses on concepts about energy in bond breaking, bond forming, and ATP coupling...
