Cellular respiration is defined as an enzyme mediated process in which organic compounds such as glucose is broken down into simpler products with the release of energy (Duka‚ Diaz and Villa‚ 2009). It is a series of metabolic processes and oxidation-reduction reactions. Oxidation of substrates‚ such as glucose‚ is a fundamental part of cellular respiration (Mader‚ 2009). As a catabolic process‚ it may or may not require the presence of oxygen. The process that requires oxygen is called aerobic

How many of you recycle? I try to recycle as much as I can‚ and I enjoy doing it. I recycle because I know that I am some how helping our environment and economy. Today I will be telling you about recycling and reasons why you all should recycle as much as you can. I will begin by talking about the reasons why most people do not recycle. Why recycling is important‚ and reasons why you all should recycle more in your everyday life. Reasons why many people don’t recycle. According to the article

During our lecture about cellular respiration and fermentation‚ it was briefly mentioned that yeast uses cellular respiration (aerobic). However‚ I was curious if sourdough‚ a bread that can be made without the direct addition of yeast‚ also exclusively uses aerobic respiration. While reading the article linked below‚ I discovered that sourdough also uses an entirely different process‚ relying on lactic acid fermentation to develop its unique flavor. The article notes that sourdough uses both yeast

REDUCTION Oxygen makes up only about 20% of the air‚ yet is the essential component for so many reactions. Without it fuels would not burn‚ iron would not rust and we would be unable to obtain energy from our food molecules through respiration. Indeed animal life on the planet did not evolve until a certain concentration of oxygen had built up in the atmosphere over 600 million years ago. The term oxidation has been in use for a long time to describe these and other reactions where oxygen is added

Task Five Explain how the digestive‚ cardio-vascular and respiration systems are interrelated‚ and how they function in a specific task/job. Internally in the human body‚ has to be well-controlled and organised with different progressive systems in which they must interconnect and interrelate in order to perform their role efficiently and successfully. There are different types of systems in the body (mainly 10) in which they all function in different ways and interrelate. An example would be the

Biology practical 10 Photosynthesis January‚ the 28th‚ 2013 Done by: Instructor: Introduction Respiration is the number of processes which leads to the oxidation of organic compounds to produce the energy. There are several types of respiration‚ and one of them is aerobic. During the aerobic respiration‚ human uses the oxygen from atmosphere and produce carbon dioxide. A cardiorespiratory system which includes lungs‚ heart‚ blood vessels and others is responsible for all the processes

for finding some advice. On this exhibition we learned that the plastic could recycle to different kind of valuable thinks. Such as T-shirt‚ Cups‚ Pens etc.… … However‚ we also go to Tuen Mun Yan Oi Tong Recycle Centre. We are attending a lesson on the centre. Their member who is repents the recycle schemes about the plastics. Also‚ base on their statistics of recycle rate‚ housing estates is a top in 1 of 4 recycle rate of the collection method. The reason of why housing estate is the most

effect of differing wavelengths of visible light on the photosynthetic activity of Beta vulgaris Introduction Photosynthesis is a crucial biological process that occurs within the chloroplasts of plant cells where CO2 + H2O + Sunlight C6H12O6 + O2. The chloroplasts use light‚ an electromagnetic energy source‚ to produce food for the plant in the form of sugar molecules. During photosynthesis‚ the excited electrons from the light pass through proteins in the electron transport chain (ETC)‚ where ATP

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only light energy‚ CO2‚ and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts‚ specifically using chlorophyll‚ the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves‚ and little to none occurs in stems‚ etc. The parts of a typical leaf
