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

DP Physics IA Thermal physics: Specific Heat Capacity of Metals Introduction: In this experiment we are going to measure the specific heat capacity of a unknown metal. To measure the specific heat capacity we will heat up the metal to certain temperature and release the metal in beaker filled with water. By knowing the mass and temperature of water filled in beaker‚ we will be able to calculate the specific capacity of unknown metal by change in temperature of beaker willed

Cellular Respiration My hypothesis for the germinated pea experiment was that the level of aerobic respiration would increase as the temperature would increase. I also predicted that there would be an upper temperature limit. The experiment proved part of my hypothesis correct and part of it incorrect. I was correct in predicting that the rate would increase as the temperature increase‚ but I was incorrect in hypothesizing that there would be an upper limit. My hypothesis for the larvae experiment

Abstract The effect of nature of substrates on the rate of cellular respiration in yeast was determined by using the Smith fermentation tube method. Mixtures of 15ml distilled H2O‚ 10% yeast suspension and 15ml of the following solutions (all at 10% concentration):1- starch‚ 2 – lactose‚ 3 – sucrose‚ 4 – glucose‚ 5 – fructose‚ 6 – distilled water ‚ were poured in six smith fermentation tubes. Cotton balls were plugged in the openings of the tubes and the tubes were kept upright and observed for

storage‚ and lastly cellular respiration. All of these ideas are the reason that myself and others have energy to do anything and everything. Photosynthesis is one way plants(plants are the main source of energy for all things)get energy to do things. The reactants of this are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and although light energy is not a reactant‚ it is necessary once the energy from the seed is gone. Carbon Dioxide needs to be present for photosynthesis to happen. In lab 7.2‚ we put an elodea in one

INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is a biochemical pathway in which cells produce ATP or energy and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste by breaking down the chemical bonds of food molecules. Cellular respiration is a type of aerobic respiration which needed oxygen in order to produce ATP which occurring in the mitochondria. Meanwhile‚ in the absence of oxygen‚ the cells will undergo anaerobic respiration to produce ATP in the cytoplasm. Anaerobic respiration can be divided into two parts which are

Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data‚ while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16‚ the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high‚ they overlap in both of the data sets‚ which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the

proportional to the intense of the respiration process that was taking place (Doltar et al.‚ 249). This means that there was high rate of respiration at a temperature of 30°C test tube as compared with the other three test tubes. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity is usually between 35-37°C (Burchfield‚ 303). At this temperature the enzyme activity is maximum and thus the rate of respiration is very high at this temperature. This is the reason why the rate of respiration was very high at the range

Goldfish Respiration Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to tests the effects of temperature on the respiration (breathing) rate of goldfish. In order to determine the goldfish respiration change adding small amounts of crushed ice to the water‚ than behavior will be noted. Then‚ the goldfish will experience the same experiment four more times and be noted again. This experiment will be conducted with four students‚ one goldfish‚ a 250 mL and a 150 mL beaker‚ thermometer‚ crushed ice‚
