of these organisms need oxygen to do this but not all of them require it. Organic carbon molecules are the energy source‚ and for waste is carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). CO2 can combine with water to form carbonic acid during cellular respiration. Phenolphthalein can be used to help detect any changes in pH because of production of CO2 during cellular respiration. Phenolphthalein usually appears clear or colorless in acidic solutions‚ and red in basic solutions. Procedures: In the

between crayfish and elodea. In order to figure this out we first set up three beakers to represent our control‚ elodea and crayfish and filled them with 75mL of culture solution which were dechlorinated making the solution acidic. We then had to place both the elodea and the crayfish in separate beakers filled with 25mL of water. The increase in volume of the water would represent the volume of the two test subjects. We then covered each beaker with plastic‚ but for the elodea we placed it under a

Lab 4 – The Cell Answer Key Procedure 4.3 Draw a picture of a single Elodea cell and label all visible structures. See the diagram in your lab manual. Without staining‚ the only structures that should have been clearly visible should have been the cell walls and the green chloroplasts. Is this cell prokaryotic or eukaryotic? ______Eukaryotic_______________________ What evidence do you have to support this claim? The presence of organelles (chloroplasts) and its large size.

In the Kingdom Exploration lab‚ five different organisms were observed under a microscope‚ (Yeast‚ Paramecium‚ Elodea‚ Daphnia‚ Euglena). Each of these organisms is apart of one of the six kingdoms‚ (Eubacteria‚ Archaebacteria‚ Fungi‚ Protista‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia) which are apart of three domains‚ (Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukarya). In this lab‚ however‚ none of the organisms observed were archaea or bacteria. Also‚ all the organisms were eukaryotes‚ not prokaryotes‚ which are organisms without

Autotrophic cells capture free energy through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Photosynthesis traps free energy present in sunlight that‚ in turn‚ is used to produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide. Chemosynthesis captures energy present in inorganic chemicals. Cellular respiration and fermentation harvest free energy from sugars to produce free energy carriers‚ including ATP. The free energy available in sugars drives metabolic pathways in cells. Photosynthesis and respiration are interdependent processes

bio-cylinder 3 and what has been discussed during the lectures. Some of the possible reasons for the “extinction” in cylinder 1 were the accumulation of ammonia from the fish urine and a lack of oxygen due to the algae growth blocking the photosynthesis of the original elodea. This of course would reduce the amount of oxygen within the cylinder and cause the fish to die from the lack thereof. However‚ upon analysis of the oxygen levels within the first

A. Converting photosynthesis rate from volume of oxygen produced per gram leaf per minute to mol CO2 fixed per area of leaf (in m2) per second. B. Why would one want to express photosynthesis rate as µmol CO2 m-2 s-1? What is the advantage. Answers: A. How to convert photosynthesis rate from volume of oxygen produced per gram leaf per minute to mol CO2 fixed per area of leaf (in m2) per second. Photosynthesis rate can be measured either by seeing how much oxygen is produced by a leaf

greenhouses in the winter‚ their growth rate greatly increases if the CO2 concentration is raised to two or three times the level in the natural environment. What is the biological basis for the increased rate of growth? The biological basis for the increased rate of growth is that the CO2 concentration being raised to two or three times the level in the natural environment provides the vegetables and flowers with a greater amount of CO2‚ which means more material to produce carbohydrates‚ thereby‚ leading
