Part 1. Cellular Respiration Prarthana Minasandram Partner: Ben Liu Introduction Purpose: To examine the rate of alcoholic fermentation using various carbohydrates. Hypothesis: If the yeast is placed in 5% glucose or sucrose solutions‚ then carbon dioxide production will increase over time. If boiled yeast is placed in a 5% sucrose solution‚ then carbon dioxide production will remain constant. Variables Independent variable: Carbohydrate solutions (5% solutions of glucose and sucrose) and

The light reactions of photosynthesis contain two photosystems‚ two electron transport chains‚ and ATP synthase. These parts are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast. The photosystems contain a collection of chlorophyll molecules. Chlorophyll‚ which is the green pigment of leaves‚ absorbs light energy that excites electrons to a higher energy level. Energized electrons from photosystem I are passed down an electron transport chain and added to NADP+ to form NADPH. Electrons from photosystem

Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine

Cellular respiration: one of the most significant processes known to life today. Cellular respiration is indeed a lengthy process‚ especially just to make ATP (energy)‚ and it all starts with a glucose. The first process to cellular respiration is glycolysis‚ which can be literally translated to the breaking of glucose. To note‚ glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. There are two parts to glycolysis: the “investment” phase and the “harvest” phase. With the aid of two ATP‚ the first

1.Explain the process of Cellular Respiration in order. Where does each step occur in a cell‚ which steps require oxygen‚ and how many ATP are produced in each step? Cellular respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to yield ATP. Glycolysis is the first stage in the breakdown of glucose and It occurs in the cell’s cytoplasm. It does not require oxygen (anaerobic). This step also occurs in two steps‚ the energy investment step‚ and the energy yielding step. This process yields

CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis At the same

Name: Cellular Respiration—An Overview All cells need energy all the time‚ and their primary source of energy is ATP. The methods cells use to make ATP vary depending on the availability of oxygen and their biological make-up. In many cases the cells are in an oxygen-rich environment. For example‚ as you sit and read this sentence‚ you are breathing in oxygen‚ which is then carried throughout your body by red blood cells. But‚ some cells grow in envi¬ronments without oxygen (yeast

Answers to Photosynthesis Practice AP Biology 1. Draw a picture of the chloroplast and label the stroma‚ thylakoid‚ thylakoid lumen (space)‚ inner membrane‚ outer membrane. 2. Using 18O as the basis of your discussion‚ explain how we know that the oxygen released in photosynthesis comes from water. When the oxygen in water has the radioactively labeled oxygen‚ the gas released from photosynthesis also has the labeled oxygen. This shows that the oxygen gas given off during photosynthesis comes from
