Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air‚ but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Here is a molecular model of a glucose molecule. You do not need to memorise the diagram for you GCSE exam‚ but it should help you to understand that a molecule of glucose contains six atoms of Carbon (shown in blue)‚ twelve

Effect of Caffeine Consumption on Academic Performance in College Undergraduates Morgan Bolen‚ Maria Naula-Quintero‚ and Carlin Wright Michigan State University Abstract In this study we are interested in assessing the relationship between average amount of caffeine consumed per day and academic performance. We hypothesized that an increase in average caffeine consumed per day would result in increased academic success. A short survey was composed based on average amount of caffeine

around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs. Respiration can be defined as the oxidation of the end products of glycolysis with the storage of the energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration occurs when oxygen is available‚ and the products are carbon dioxide and water. There are three main pathways in the cellular respiration process. These are: pyruvate oxidation‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and the respiratory chain. Pyruvate oxidation

“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens

Reuben Sarwal AP Lab 4 Determining the rate of Cellular Respiration Using Germinating and Dry Peas Purpose: To determine the rate of cellular respiration using dry and germinating peas. Introduction: In this lab‚ we are investing cellular respiration‚ specifically aerobic cellular respiration. Aerobic cellular respiration is the process by which cells consume oxygen during the oxidation of glucose and produce CO2 as a byproduct. During cellular respiration‚ glucose is split into a 6 carbon sugar

Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate. Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out how different intensities of exercise effect the heart rate I will measure it in beats per minute using a polar heart rate monitor. Hypothesis: I predict that as I increase the intensity of the exercise I do‚ that my heart rate will increase. This is because as I exercise more intensely I will need more blood to my muscles to supply oxygen and take away carbon dioxide; therefore my heart is going to have to beat

Cellular Respiration is part of the metabolism of organisms‚ it provides the energy for organisms’ basic life activity. The process of cellular respiration converts oxygen and water to glucose and carbon dioxide‚ and usually occurs inside of mitochondria. Thus the cellular respiration is closely related to the life of all organisms‚ especially the human. In a case study in cellular respiration‚ seven unrelated people died in five days‚ and the reason is unclear. However‚ all the victim had same
