Cellular metabolism encompasses the many processes that work together to keep the cells in dynamic equilibrium. Cellular metabolism is responsible for providing energy to the cell and is an essential element of life. There are several complex‚ involved processes involved in cellular metabolism including glycolysis‚ Krebs’s cycle‚ and electron transport. Metabolism itself can be broken down into two different categories: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic metabolism involves the breakdown of large

the mitochondria. While the process of cellular respiration is very complex‚ it can be simplified in terms of the molecules that are expended in the reaction and those that are produced. The following chemical equation summarizes this process: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38ATP In summary‚ the process oxidizes glucose to produce carbon dioxide and water which are both byproducts that are not used by the organism. The energy released in this process produces ATP which is used by cells as easily

PLANT SYSTEMS QUESTION 1979:L. PETERSON/AP BIOLOGY In relation to plants‚ describe in detail one way of: a) measuring the rate of transpiration b) measuring the rate of photosynthesis c) separating pigments Essay : Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from land plants into the atmosphere‚ causing movement of water through the plant from the soil to the atmosphere via roots‚ shoot and leaves‚ which occurs mainly through the stomata. Factors which can affect the rate of transpiration are

Monosaccharide sugars. These are the monomers from which larger polymer molecules are constructed. Molecules like glucose and fructose are metabolically active molecules usually stored in an inactive‚ insoluble polysaccharide form. Glucose: C6H12O6 this is a hexose sugar (six carbons) most commonly found in this ring structure. Glucose will be known to most students as a product of photosynthesis or the substrate molecule for respiration. Glucose is also found in a polymer as starch‚ glycogen

Chemical Report The chemical I will be writing this report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat

COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES 1. Calculate the vapor pressure when 10.o mL glycerol (C3H8O3) is added to 500.0 mL water at 500C. At this temperature the vapor pressure of pure water is 92.5 torr and its density is 0.988 g/mL. Density of glycerol is 1.26 g/mL. 2. Calculate the boiling point and freezing point of the solution if 1.00 kg of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is added to a car radiator which contains 4450 g water. a. Kb of water = 0.512 oC/m at normal boiling point of 100oC b. Kf of water

Biology Key Questions – Lesson #1 1. How many electrons does Mg2+ have? Answer: Mg2+ has 10 electrons. A Magnesium atom has 12 electrons‚ 2 of which are valence electrons. The atom will lose the 2 outermost electrons in order to stabilize its electron shell. The nucleus maintains its 12 protons and becomes a Mg2+ ion. 2. Given that the half-life of the radioisotope carbon-14 is 5730 years‚ how useful do you think this isotope would be for dating bones that are over a million years
