Photosynthesis and Respiration Objectives: In this activity we will review the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration‚ and become familiar with the use of a pH indicator for investigating these processes. Following this activity your group will generate a new research question about photosynthesis or respiration‚ and utilize the pH indicator system for the experiment that your group will design‚ implement and interpret. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and

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 Respiration: Using the Vernier LabQuest to detect CO2 gas production in germinating peas DESIGN Research Question: What is the effect of temperature on CO2 gas production in germinating peas? Background: The process of cellular respiration‚ which provides energy for cell growth and development‚ is an important part of life in germinating seeds. It converts the chemical energy of glucose into ATP. As a germinating seed respires‚ CO2 is produced as a byproduct. Therefore‚ the amount

Cellular Respiration Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of body mass and temperature on the rate of respiration in the mouse. Hypothesis When the temperature is reduced‚ cellular respiration will increase. Measurement Weight the mouse and use soda lime for mouse to perspire. Oxygen was inhaled and carbon dioxide was exhaled. Carbon dioxide was absorbed by soda lime. Rate of respiration was measured in terms of ml of oxygen per min over grams. General

Diffusion & Cell Size Lab Background The absorption of nutrients‚ excretion of cellular wastes‚ and the exchange of respiratory gasses are life processes which depend upon the efficient transport of substances into‚ out of‚ and throughout living cells. The process of diffusion can be easily visualized by adding a drop of blue food coloring to a glass of water. Initially‚ the food coloring remains in a small area in the water‚ dying it a dark blue. Over time‚ the molecules of food coloring

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

AP BIOLOGY Lab 5 Cellular Respiration Objective: To calculate the rate of CR from the data. To then relate gas production to respiration rate. Then test the rate of CR in germinating versus non-germinating seeds in a controlled experiment and then test the effect of temperature on the rate of CR in the germinating versus non-germinated seeds in a controlled experiment. Analysis: 1. The CR is higher in the germinating peas in the cold water rather than in the beads or non-germinating peas

Cellular Respiration In this lab the effects of different substrates on the rate of cellular respiration is being put to a test which is a very interesting experiment. The three major substrate solutions being used for this experiment are glucose‚ maltose‚ and alanine. The issues this experiment addresses are cellular respiration occur in different stages which are glycolysis‚ citric acid cycle‚ and fermentation. In this lab the experiment determines the effect of different substrates on

Functionality wise‚ it is easy to understand cellular respiration and fermentation. However in terms of the process‚ it can be difficult to understand‚ due to the many steps involved in a single phase. Some students hypothesized that if a human contracts their forearm muscles repetitively‚ then the muscles will be fatigued. But if yeast is awoken from its dormant state‚ the balloon’s circumference and weight will increase‚ the pH will decrease‚ and the process of cellular respiration will be replaced by fermentation
