This experiment is concerned with identifying photosynthetic pigments found in spinach plants and determining the spectrum of light each absorbs. By using paper chromatography‚ different pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the

he Krebs Cycle also expressed as: CH3C(=O)C(=O)O− (pyruvate) + HSCoA + NAD+ → CH3C(=O)SCoA (acetyl-CoA) + NADH + CO2 is the main pathway in all aerobic organisms. Basically it’s the way that cells produce energy for itself‚ but the only issue is it requires the presence of oxygen. In total eight reactions that take place in the mitochondria‚ and these reactions result in two carbon molecules and oxidizes it into carbon dioxide. Step 1 Citrate synthase bridges to Oxaloacetate substrates which can

As mentioned before‚ browning in bananas is an enzymatic process where enzymes such as polyphenol oxidase serve as catalysts in the oxidation of several phenolic compounds. In this experiment however‚ the only reaction being tested is the oxidation of catechol (a diphenol) by the enzyme catalyst catechol oxidase or polyphenol oxidase‚ which initiates a chain of reactions and eventually triggers the formation of brown pigments known as catechol-melanins. Catechol‚ also called 1‚2-dihydroxybenzene

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

Cellular Energetics: The Rate of Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis over Time Among Various Variables By: Ethan Barnett Introduction 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

12. Briefly discuss the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. In your explanation‚ discuss and identify key molecules involved in this process and explain their relationship which each other in terms of how they contribute to the main cellular purpose of this process. Electron transport chain plays a key role of in the production of oxygen in cellular respiration. ETC uses many enzymes located on the inner mitochondrial membrane during the production of oxygen. The source

Balloon Respiration Lab Introduction/ Background Cellular respiration is a process that releases chemical energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules to produce ATP when oxygen is present. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+ 6O2= 6CO2= 6H2O. The process of respiration contains three main parts‚ glycolysis‚ Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport Chain. The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and is considered an anaerobic process which splits glucose into two
