There are many differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis requires energy as photons. Cellular respiration supplies energy in the form of ATP. In photosynthesis‚ electron transport occurs in the membranes of chloroplasts or thylakoid discs. Cellular respiration takes place in the membranes of mitochondria. In photosynthesis‚ water breaks down to supply 2 electrons and 2 Hydrogen ions and release ½ O at the beginning of the chain. In cellular respiration‚ 2 electrons

varieties familiar to us is vast as the animal world is diverse. Each distinct variety or type of animals is recognized by scientist as a species. Animals of most species are free-living forms but of others are parasitic in bodies of other animals or even plants. According to their habitats animals are divided into the following types Aquatic animals :- They live in water . Animals living in sea water are called marine & those live in river‚ponds‚streams‚etc are called as fresh water. Aquatic are

1. Carbohydrates • it’s a biological macromolecule that consists of carbon‚ hydrogen & oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio • are among the most common organic material on earth • millions of tonnes are produced by plants and algae every year through the process of photosynthesis • are used by organisms as a source of energy‚

processes of aerobic respiration and photosynthesis. To start‚ aerobic respiration can be defined as a biochemical pathway through which chemical bond energy is released from food and changed into ATP. On the other hand‚ photosynthesis is manufacturing of carbohydrates out of CO2 and the splitting of water in the presence of light. Photosynthesis and aer. respiration can be the same in many ways. For instance‚ both of them contain cycles. In photosynthesis‚ there is the Calvin cycle‚ and photosystem

The method is very well suited towards acid-base reactions. Titrations are often used in industry to analyze products to be sold. In this lab‚ standardizations will be done in the first two experiments and then titration analysis in the third. Standardization of a base (NaOH) using a primary standard (KHP) Standardization

Experiments investigating the effect of a particular factor on an enzyme-catalysed reaction are commonly used as assessed practicals in Biology. The reason for this is there are a number of factors that can be investigated‚ and therefore‚ a number of factors that can also be controlled. From our lecture‚ we are aware that the following can affect the rate of reaction: 1) Temperature: a. Independent variable: A range of temperatures should be investigated‚ with particular attention

Introduction: Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this experiment‚ the study of the effects of different wavelengths on leaf pigments‚ if chlorophyll a absorbs blue-violet light‚ chlorophyll b absorbs blue light‚ carotene absorbs blue-green light‚ and xanthophyll absorbs blue light‚ then wavelengths of greatest absorption will be 400‚ 450‚ 500‚ and 450 respectively. Independent Variable: Wavelengths Dependent Variable: optimum wavelengths of light for absorption Standard Variable: method of

AP Biology Study Guide Chapter 11 1. Categorize chemical signals in terms of the proximity of the communicating cells. Local signaling – a. Paracrine signaling – a secreting cell acts on nearby target cells by discharging molecules of a local regulator (a growth factor‚ for example) into the extracellular fluid. b. Synaptic signaling – a nerve cell releases neurotransmitter molecules into a synapse‚ stimulating the target cell. Long distance signaling- c. Hormonal signaling – specialized
