I think it's a great way to pack lots of aspects of one topic into one question. These are still a lower level blooms question.

For me, the cognitive load of the original isn't bad, as it is essentially 4 consecutive T/F questions. (Molecule either is or is not a nucleotide.)

I am wondering if it is possible to get an application level T/F in this question, these seem to be mostly comprehension options (but maybe that's all is needed here).]]> 2021-09-17 20:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/askbio/wc8xbslklmgdcnjp/wish/1749573589 I can see the benefit of the revised version checking students' understanding of each option, rather than just finding the one that must be true and stopping there. So if that was the goal, good job! I might consider replacing some of the ATP's with "ATP production" or "ATP hydrolysis" as appropriate. For example, for the first T/F, ATP just sitting there in the cell doesn't dissipate free energy, but I think you're asking about the process of ATP production or ATP hydrolysis. gcrowther https://padlet.com/askbio/wc8xbslklmgdcnjp/wish/1749576240 2021-09-17 20:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/askbio/wc8xbslklmgdcnjp/wish/1749576240 Revised Q2 https://padlet.com/askbio/wc8xbslklmgdcnjp/wish/1749576645 The wording in the stem implies that there are only 2 things to rank.  Should it be rank from 1 to 4?
    This could be a multiple choice question if you gave them possible rankings and had them chose the correct one.]]>     2021-09-17 20:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/askbio/wc8xbslklmgdcnjp/wish/1749576645     Feedback for Carolyn's Q2 jennifershlichta https://padlet.com/askbio/wc8xbslklmgdcnjp/wish/1749578248 I like that this question gets at the inputs and outputs of cell respiration without actually asking it directly.

    T/F ATP production dissipates free energy from the cell in the form of heat.
    T/F ATP cycling provides energy coupling between exergonic and endergonic reactions.
    T/F ATP hydrolysis provides an input of free energy for exergonic reactions.
    T/F ATP captures energy from the breakdown of food and releases it for cellular processes.
