This lab was split up into two different experiments‚ using different variables in each. During the first section of the lab‚ we investigated the what the effect of light is on both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Our hypothesis about this effect was that the cuvette representing ‘no light’‚ being covered in foil‚ would result in a yellow CO2 indicator fluid‚ meaning that there was a decrease in pH and a high level of CO2 was present. Additionally‚ we hypothesized that the cuvette that was

By following the following procedures out of the Lab Manual‚ the students were able to find an almost accurate representation of the crickets’ cellular respiration rate under various temperatures in order to

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process which used by plants to capture light energy and use it to do chemical reactions that change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy (ATP)‚ carbohydrates just like sugar. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food with oxygen. Plants cells do photosynthesis and cellular respiration both ‚but animal cells can only do the cellular respiration. In photosynthesis

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

function. In photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration energy is being produced to cycle carbon between the functions. There is the function of maintaining life‚ helping aid chemical reactions‚ using the cell to help aid reation. All of these recycling processes help creates energy that is then in return used to aid their specific function. The life processes of nutrition and respiration are related to photosynthesis and Aerobic Cellular Respiration. All organisms use material from the outside

Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to

fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs‚ yet only the latter requires oxygen. Cellular respiration is a very complex process that consists of many steps that take place inside the cell‚ in an organelle called a mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for converting digested nutrients into the energy-yielding molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the cell’s activities. This function‚ known as aerobic respiration‚ is the reason mitochondria

We will determine whether or not it is possible to examine the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration under controlled

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
