advantage over other early life forms was their ability to perform photosynthesis. They contain a blue photo reactive pigment that can absorb the energy from the sunlight and use it to produce nutrients for the cell. During this process‚ water molecules are broken down into oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are then released in the air. In the very early days of life‚ Earth was populated only by anaerobic bacteria that didn’t need oxygen to survive. When cyanobacteria first made their appearance and started

in cellular respiration is oxygen and carbon dioxide. The process of cellular respiration is releasing energy from sugars using oxygen and the product is carbon dioxide and water and in the process‚ ATP is made that can then be used for cellular work. Oxygen is needed to be absorbed from the environment and into the organism’s blood so it can be transported to respiring cells. Carbon dioxide must be released into the environment from the organism’s blood. The formula for cellular respiration is:

LAB FIVE CELL RESPIRATION INTRODUCTION Aerobic cellular respiration is the release of energy from organic compound from organic compounds by metabolic chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Cellular respiration involves a series of enzyme-mediated reactions. The equation below shows the complete oxidation of glucose. Oxygen is required for this energy-releasing process

AP Biology I Investigation 6 AP Bio: Lab 6 Cellular Respiration Introduction Some knowledge that is needed before performing this lab are as follows: First of all‚ cellular respiration is the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules. This process includes glycolysis‚ the Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis is a process that takes place in te cytosol and it oxidizes glucose into two pyruvate. Glycolysis also makes ATP and NADH. The

type of respiration in animals. All plants and animals do cellular respiration. Respiration is the release of energy‚ which occurs in the living things’ cells. Cellular respiration is the use of glucose and oxygen to yield ATP which is usable energy. Glucose is broken down into glycolysis‚ which is then used to make ATP. ATP is the usable form of energy which allows organism to function. Almost all organisms do cellular respiration‚ others do anaerobic respiration. Cellular respiration is a part

plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide‚ or CO2‚ which is in the

All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis‚ in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example‚ plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight‚ carbon dioxide from air‚ and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms‚ not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms that eat them. Plants can
