“Comparing Average Rates of Respiration in Mealworms in Light and Dark Environments in a Manometric System” Mohammad Rafi 213552179 BIOL1000 LAB REPORT Oct 28‚ 2014 Hypothesis The biological hypothesis for this lab experiment was that the rate of respiration in mealworms would decrease in mealworms that were exposed to a dark environment compared to those mealworms that were exposed to a light environment. This hypothesis was based on the fact that oxygen levels tend to decrease in

between plants and people is made possible by the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis. While cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms‚ photosynthesis relies on chlorophyll and is unique to plants‚ algae‚ and some bacteria. Respiration and photosynthesis are essentially the same process in reverse. During photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are converted to glucose and oxygen‚ while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen which are converted to CO2 and H20. Plants utilize

stimulant‚ stimulants speed up metabolic processes‚ cellular respiration is a metabolic process. CO2 production is an indicator of cellular respiration. With these facts a hypothesis stating that the rate of cellular respiration will increase in higher concentrations of nicotine‚ which can be observed by the increase of CO2 production. Cellular respiration is the most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food. Cellular respiration is defined as the aerobic harvesting of energy from food

Problem: Does prior exercise affect the ability to squeeze a clothespin? Hypothesis: After exercise‚ people will be able to squeeze the clothespin faster than those without prior exercise. Materials: For this experiment a timer and a clothespin were used. Methods: To begin this experiment an individual was asked to squeeze a clothespin as many times as possible within one minute and the results were recorded. Then this same individual was asked to exercise (run in place‚ preferably)

Cellular Respiration and Rigor Mortis Cellular respiration is a metabolic process where the body uses organic molecules to produce energy. One of the greatest energy sources that our body uses is glucose. In cellular respiration glucose is broken down‚ and the energy from those bonds is used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). There are two types of respiration: aerobic and anaerobic. In aerobic respiration there are 3 main steps: Glycolysis‚ Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)‚ and Oxidative Phosphorylation

between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis requires energy as photons. Cellular respiration supplies energy in the form of ATP. In photosynthesis‚ electron transport occurs in the membranes of chloroplasts or thylakoid discs. Cellular respiration takes place in the membranes of mitochondria. In photosynthesis‚ water breaks down to supply 2 electrons and 2 Hydrogen ions and release ½ O at the beginning of the chain. In cellular respiration‚ 2 electrons at the end of the chain

The Mystery of the Seven Deaths: A Case Study in Cellular Respiration In this case study‚ there were seven murders of which the cause is hypoxia. All seven victims were from the same neighborhood with similar symptoms. These symptoms are dizziness‚ confusion‚ headache‚ shortness of breath‚ and vomiting. The individuals in this case study are in fact similar. They all have the same symptoms‚ and live in the same area. Questions a chief medical officer would ask are; how was the individual acting

Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? The main function of cellular respiration is to generate ATP for cellular work; it is the process of harvesting chemical energy from organic fuel and converting it to ATP energy. The three stages of cell respiration include: Glycolysis‚ Citric Acid Cycle‚ and Electron Transport(Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickery‚ 2010). • What is the role of glycolysis
