Respiration‚ digestion and rocks Respiration Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose‚ for our cells to use to keep us functioning. Remember that respiration is not the same as breathing (which is properly called ventilation). The glucose and oxygen react together in the cells to produce carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is called aerobic respiration because oxygen from the air is needed for it to work. Digestion

Biology Lab Report Research Question: Effects of pH on amylase activity Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is in human’s saliva as well as the pancreas. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction. They break down complex molecules into simple ones. In this case‚ amylase converts starches (complex molecule) into simple sugars. That is why foods like potatoes for example‚ may taste sweet to us‚ because they contain starch. The optimum pH for pancreatic

Solutes do not depend on the concentration of other solutes‚ which allows the cell to take in oxygen while releasing carbon dioxide. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion‚ which occurs when water is diffused across the membrane. This can be affected by how hydrophilic a solute is on either side of the membrane. The diffusion of glucose‚ starch‚ and iodine was observed when the solutes went from a higher concentration of their individual solute to a lower concentration diffusing threw pores in the dialysis

Energy In A Cell – Respiration & Photosynthesis Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are complementary reactions. In this lab‚ you will review both processes and put the steps of each in order of occurrence. You will gain from this exercise an overall understand of how these processes work hand-in-hand in cellular organisms. You will go to the following website: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078757134/383932/BL_25.html After reading the guide‚ you will work to move

The respiration and photosynthesis cycle is the process by which plants and animals interact in a codependent and symbiotic manner to produce the nutrients‚ gases‚ and energy that they require to survive. Plants obtain energy from sunlight and use it to combine carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. Animals eat plants containing glucose‚ and combine glucose and oxygen‚ releasing energy‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. This process is called respiration

Factors Affecting Fermentation of Glucose by Yeast Introduction: Fermentation is anaerobic respiration whereby food is altered into more simple compounds and energy in the form of chemicals is produced‚ an example being adenosine triphosphate (biology-online.org/dictionary/Fermentation). All this occurs with the lack of atmospheric oxygen. At the end of the day alcohol and carbon dioxide are the end products when yeast is used in the fermentation procedure. But end products like acetic acid

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy.[1] Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field‚ composed of many branches and subdisciplines. However‚ despite the broad scope of biology‚ there are certain general and unifying concepts within it which govern all study and research‚ consolidating it into single‚ coherent field. Biology generally recognizes the cell as the basic unit

Extended experimental investigation: effects on membranes of environmental stress Background It is not possible to observe membranes directly‚ so this investigation is an indirect study of the effects of different substances and treatments on living beetroot cells. Beetroot cells have been chosen for this activity because each beetroot cell has a large central vacuole bounded by a membrane (Figure 1). Contained in the vacuole is the red pigment anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its

Cellular respiration: one of the most significant processes known to life today. Cellular respiration is indeed a lengthy process‚ especially just to make ATP (energy)‚ and it all starts with a glucose. The first process to cellular respiration is glycolysis‚ which can be literally translated to the breaking of glucose. To note‚ glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. There are two parts to glycolysis: the “investment” phase and the “harvest” phase. With the aid of two ATP‚ the first

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
