Cellular Respiration Lab Report
Conclusions The amount of cellular respiration increases based on the amount of exercise. The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP. Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate. The pyruvate then travels through the Kreb cycle and produces carbon dioxide. The oxygen travel through the electron transport train and produces water and energy.
In order for the body to maintain homeostasis while exercising more oxygen is needed and cellular respiration increases. In return for a greater intake of oxygen, more carbon dioxide is produced and exhaled, therefore changing the color of the the bromothymol quicker. The results support the my hypothesis, the time difference Person 1 exercise yes/no was 2.03 seconds. For Person

    Cellular respiration is divided into three different stages. Glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration, splits simple carbohydrates such as glucose into two molecules of ATP, two molecules of pyruvic acid, and two electron carried that have high energy that are known as NADH. This part of cellular respiration does not need oxygen, therefore ATP can be created by glycolysis, but it only makes a small amount and this method is not the most efficient method. The next stage in cellular respiration is the Citric Acid Cycle. This stage commences when the two pyruvate acids are converted into acetyl CoA. This pyruvate oxidation will produce 2 NADH and then the acetyl CoA will enter…

    The objective of this lab was to figure out which has a higher cell respiration rate between crayfish and elodea. In order to figure this out we first set up three beakers to represent our control, elodea and crayfish and filled them with 75mL of culture solution which were dechlorinated making the solution acidic. We then had to place both the elodea and the crayfish in separate beakers filled with 25mL of water. The increase in volume of the water would represent the volume of the two test subjects. We then covered each beaker with plastic, but for the elodea we placed it under a can so it could be in the dark. After waiting 15 minutes to allow them to respire we took it out and add four drops of phenolphthalein, which was also acidic, to both beakers. Once both beakers got their four drops we added drops of NaOH, which was a base, until the solution turned pink. Our results were that the respiration rate of the crayfish was higher than the elodea.…

    Aerobic cellular respiration is a pivotal process in which organisms carry out in order to sustain life. It is characterized by the release of energy from organic compounds by means of chemical oxidation within the mitochondria of the cell. The reactants are glucose and oxygen, and after a series of complex steps, the products of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP + heat are released. Thus, cellular respiration is an exergonic process, since heat energy is released in order to do cellular work. The overall process can be encapsulated by the following equation: C6H12O6 + CO2 6CO2+ 6H2O+ 586 kilocalories of energy/mole of glucose oxidized. This reaction seems very straightforward, however there are numerous enzyme-mediated reactions that occur within it that are not so perceptible from the simplified equation. Cellular respiration consists of three major stages: The first is Glycolysis; (occurring in the cytosol) in which chemical energy is harvested by oxidizing glucose into two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate, and thus producing a net of 2 ATP molecules through substrate-level phosphorylation, as well as a net of 2 NADH molecules. Subsequently, the Krebs Cycle commences after 2 pyruvate molecules are converted to 2 Acetyl CoA molecules in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. During the Krebs Cycle (occurring in the mitochondrial matrix)4 CO2 molecules are released, 1 ATP molecule is formed (for each turn of the cycle), and the reduced forms of 6 NADH and 2 FADH carry the electrons to the next step: the Electron Transport Chain. This occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, and consists of many electron carriers that pass electrons (donated by NADH and FADH2) along through a series of redox reactions. At the end of the chain, oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor and it reduced them to form water. A proton motive force, or H+ gradient,…

    Cellular Energetics is the broad term that encompasses both cellular respiration and photosynthesis and refers to how energy changes and reacts within cells. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down sugars (ATP) in order to produce energy for other chemical reactions. Cellular respiration takes place mainly in the mitochondria and the reactants in this process are oxygen and glucose and the main product in this process is ATP as well as waste products which include carbon dioxide and water. Almost all organisms perform cellular respiration. There are two types of cellular respiration…

    The main objective of this lab is to see if the rate of cellular respiration will be affected if we change the food source from glucose to three different experimental variables (fructose, sucrose, lactose). Cellular Respiration is a process that generates ATP and it involves the complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. Cellular Respiration can be divided into three metabolic processes; Glycolysis that occurs in the cytoplasm, Krebs cycle that takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria, and Oxidative phosphorylation that occurs via the electron…
