CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis At the same

then it does not allow the oxygen to bind in the electron transport chain. In this case it would not be able to blind to cytochrome C oxidase. If cyanide is present in high doses then the individual could die due to loss of oxygen in the body. 2. Although cyanide halts cellular respiration oxygen is still present in the cell due to the function of the Electron Transport Chain. Before Cyanide is present the electron transport chain is functioning normally‚ allowing oxygen to bind. Once cyanide comes

Effect of Temperature on Cricket Respiration Crickets are ectotherms that rely on their environment as a source of heat for their metabolism. Warmer temperatures allow crickets to respire at a greater rate.

Why We Should All Recycle Waste‚ and how we choose to handle it‚ can have a profound effect on the environment (assonance). In America‚ 23% of people don’t recycle anything and although 23% may not appear as a large number (litote)‚ that’s still 2 pine trees worth of paper a year for each person. And while 77% do recycle‚ it’s not always consistent. Recycling is undeniably something we should all participate in—an individual effort— like “exercising” (simile). While some of us

Photosynthesis is a chemical process that converts the sunlight into a chemical energy that plants store for later. Without photosynthesis‚ the world as we know it would not exist. All the plants would die and so would a major food and oxygen source. During Photosynthesis water is sucked up through the roots up the stem and to the leaves. The leaves take in carbon dioxide and begin to absorb sunlight. these things combine to make glucose and oxygen. The plant then uses the glucose and oxygen is

The purpose of this lab was to investigate how size of seeds impact respiration rate. It was hypothesized that bigger seed will require more oxygen because more energy is needed to sustain the seed’s homeostasis. For this experiment 4 groups was set up with 0.5 mL worth of the following seeds: peas (1) ‚ black beans (1)‚ radish seeds‚ and glass beads (control). The black bean served as the biggest size‚ peas were medium‚ and radish seeds were the smallest. After setting up the microrespirometer and

Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants. Hypothesis:

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that

Introduction Cell respiration is the process of a cell converting sugars into ATP (energy) in the mitochondrion. It is an essential process which enables organisms to survive and function (Biology Online‚ 2010). Not only does it produce ATP‚ but also carbon dioxide (though decarboxylation)‚ NADH and FADH and in the case of some organisms‚ alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisia‚ a bacterium commonly known as yeast‚ is used in various aspects of life‚ from winemaking to baking. It respires both anaerobically
