Respiration  Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules‚ like glucose‚ to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2 The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis‚ the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water In eukaryotes‚ glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

How do you keep carbon dioxide from escaping a carbonated drink when the drink’s container has been opened? When you open a carbonated beverage’s container‚ such as a soda can or bottle‚ you may hear a hissing sound from the opening as you do so. That is the sound of the carbon dioxide gas escaping from the sealed container through the new opening. When this happens‚ the process of the beverage losing its so-called "fizz" has already begun. However‚ there are several solutions to this issue. This

us with oxygen‚ which is essential for our bodies to live. Without it‚ we would die within minutes. Pure air is a mixture of several gases that are invisible and odourless. It consists of about 78% nitrogen‚ 21% oxygen‚ and less than 1% of argon‚ carbon dioxide‚ and other gases — as well as varying amounts of water vapour. Pollution is one of the major problems of our country. Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals‚ particulates‚ or biological materials that cause discomfort

“Global pollution creates a “public bad” born by all – a negative externality with a wide impact” (M.Harris‚ 2002). Australia is considered to be the driest populated continent in the world and faces stern drought and water shortages. Reducing carbon emissions is challenging for Australia‚ although the Government realizes that meeting this challenge is important and commits to reducing the level of pollution caused by greenhouse gases in Australia‚ and voluntarily preparing for an altered climate

present in many organic compounds. While oxygen is necessary for life‚ oxygen as ozone is highly toxic. On the other hand‚ ozone is an important component of the atmosphere and helps to shield us from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. Carbon (C) Carbon is the basis of all life as we know it. It uniquely occupies a chemical niche that allows it to readily form large and complex molecules such as proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ nucleic acids and ultimately DNA. These compounds are the building blocks

How a faster pulse rate after exercise affects the amount of carbon dioxide in breath and how males and females pulse rates change or don’t after exercise Introduction There is a chemical reaction that takes place in this lab‚ O2 + C6H12O6 –> H2O + CO2 + ATP. This represents cellular respiration‚ the reaction. The reactants are Oxygen and Glucose. The products are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and ATP. This reaction is split into 3 stages‚ the Glycolysis stage‚ the Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport
